 President Trump  shared  his  insights on Kim Jong Un  terrorists in Afghanistan and the Navy’s plan to upgrade its catapult system on aircraft carriers in private remarks Tuesday night to a group of high-dollar donors.
Over lengthy remarks   the president  recalled how  he  came to reverse course on deploying troops to Afghanistan  calling that country “the Wharton school of finance for terrorists ” referring to  his  alma mater.  Trump  also praised  his  own handling of the North Korea nuclear crisis  touted  his  relationship with Chinese President Xi Jinping and explained how  he  came up with  his  latest nickname for Kim Jong Un.
Although  Trump  called Kim “ Rocket Man ” in his first address to the United Nations  he thought it was not an insult and could even be seen as a compliment   Trump  said at the dinner  according to attendees. But after Kim issued a statement calling  Trump  a “dotard ”  Trump  upped the ante.
“So I said  all right  so now I’ll call him Little Rocket Man ”  Trump  said.
Attendees passed along remarks  Trump  made on various foreign policy issues around the world. According to Politico  which reported on  Trump ’s comments about the NFL  tickets to the dinner sold for between $35 000 and $250 000 a couple and attendees included donors  Republican Party officials and Trump’s two eldest sons.
Regarding North Korea   Trump  said that the problem should have been solved years ago but that he would take care of it nonetheless. The president credited his close ties to Xi for producing China’s recent announcement that it would curtail banking relationships with North Korea.

“ He ’s probably the most powerful [Chinese leader] in 100 years ”  Trump  told the attendees.
 Trump  retold the story of how their friendship was forged at Mar-a-Lago in April and said the relationship enabled  Trump  to ask Xi for help cutting off North Korea’s financial access.
“ He  did that because I asked  him   please do that ”  Trump  said. “So  he  does things. Relationship is everything.”
Touting  his  intention to cut costs in wasteful military spending   Trump  criticized the Navy’s program to replace  its  steam-based catapult system on aircraft carriers with a digital one.  He  compared the digital catapult system  called the Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System  to the digital seat controls in a car.
“It’s like when you get a new car and you have to be a computer genius to fix your seat  right?”  he  said. “The seat’s moving all over the place  it’s unbelievable.”
On Afghanistan   Trump  said  he  had wanted to stop spending money on the war there altogether but was convinced by  his  generals that due to the large number of terrorist organizations there  withdrawing was not a safe option.
After being shown classified information by  his  generals   Trump  concluded that the United States has no choice but to “knock the s— out of them ” meaning the terrorists in Afghanistan  otherwise there would be another attack similar to 9/11.
“The World Trade Center people were trained in Afghanistan ” said  Trump . “It’s like the Wharton school of finance for terrorism.”
