At a luncheon at today’s North Korea summit, President Donald Trump poked fun at his and Kim Jong Un’s waistlines, telling photographers to take a pic that makes them look “nice and handsome and thin an perfect”:
The US press pool wasn’t given access to the lunch, but host photographers got video of Trump asking for a beautiful photo that made them look “nice and handsome and thin, perfect.” https://t.co/Y4QC5Z7rQR

According to the pool report, Kim was “not amused” by the quip:
per pool, Kim not amused by Trump’s fat joke: “Very nice, getting a good picture everybody so we look nice and handsome and thin?” Pool notes Kim later smiled when he sat down. #trumpkim2018.

And of course, Kim’s reaction is going somewhat viral:
Kim's face just now as Trump says to media, "Getting a good picture, everybody? So we look nice and handsome and thin? Perfect."
