Another summit between President Trump and North Korea's Kim Jong Un is in the works, Jimmy Kimmel said on Monday's Kimmel Live, and Trump "was riding high today after getting his second letter from Kim Jong Un," and he was so excited he gushed about it in a tweet. "It's weird that he now has a closer relationship with Kim Jong Un than he does Melania, right?" Kimmel said. "The letter was handed over at the DMZ on Thursday, it was hand-carried across the world to be delivered directly to him in Washington — which, say what you like, it's very romantic. That's some The Notebook-level stuff there." He threw in a bit about Kim's latest military parade, too. You can watch that below. Peter Weber
