The Trump administration is calling "fake news" on the Wall Street Journal's characterization of the president's comments about North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un during an interview Thursday. The White House is arguing that President Trump never said that he already had a "very good relationship" with Kim but rather that he might be able to achieve that in the future. An audio version of the interview released by the Journal also appeared, upon close listening, to have Trump say "I'd probably" and not simply "I probably." Trump tweeted Sunday morning, "The Wall Street Journal stated falsely that I said to them “I have a good relationship with Kim Jong Un” (of N. Korea). I said 'I'd have a good relationship with Kim Jong Un,' a big difference.
