Trump: Kim Jong Un ‘Felt Very Badly’ About Death Of Otto Warmbier

Trump said he takes the North Korean leader at his word that he didn’t know about the student’s treatment in prison.

President Donald Trump said Kim Jong Un “felt very badly” about student Otto Warmbier, who was imprisoned in North Korea and died after being returned to the U.S. in a vegetative state in 2017.

Speaking at a press conference in Hanoi, Vietnam, on Thursday after the two leaders failed to reach a nuclear agreement, Trump said he believed Kim.

“Those prisons are rough, they’re rough places and bad things happened. But I don’t believe he knew about it,” Trump said. “He tells me he didn’t know about it and I will take him at his word.”

Trump said he didn’t think it was in the North Korean leader’s best interest to have allowed something like that to happen to Warmbier.

Well NO crap it isn't in his best interest, which is why he knew an American in "those rough Prisons" would have been something he was kept informed about, which he certainly was. But obviously Trump has revealed himself as an easy pushover for Kim knew all he had to do was play stupid and Trump would take him at his word because that's all he has ever done with dictators. Believe whatever they say.

He was arrested for allegedly taking down a sign of the late dictator Kim Jong Il while he was in the country with a tour group. Trump asserted in September 2017 that Warmbier was “tortured beyond belief by North Korea.”

... “I will take him at his word” ...

This will be enshrined in history as the phrase used by folks when they just don’t want or care to give a shiite.

There's honor among dictators, you know.

Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, House of Commons, October 3, 1938.

I would like to say a few words in respect of the various other participants, besides ourselves, in the Munich Agreement. After everything that has been said about the German Chancellor [Adolf Hitler] today and in the past, I do feel that the House ought to recognise the difficulty for a man in that position to take back such emphatic declarations as he had already made amidst the enthusiastic cheers of his supporters, and to recognise that in consenting, even though it were only at the last moment, to discuss with the representatives of other Powers those things which he had declared he had already decided once for all, was a real and a substantial contribution on his part. With regard to Signor Mussolini, . . . I think that Europe and the world have reason to be grateful to the head of the Italian government for his work in contributing to a peaceful solution.

How did that work out, I wonder?

So Trump's Munich was in Hanoi. The draft dodger finally showed up in VietNam only to be humiliated again. So much winning!

Kim has used anti-aircraft guns, flame-throwers and mortars to execute his political opponents. I'm not sure he felt very badly about Otto.

Well lt looks like it is open season on Americans while Trump is in office. So far he has taken the word of three dictators who say "they didn't do it." FIrst Putin, then the Saudi Prince who tortured, murdered and chopped up a US resident, and now Kim Jung Un, who brutalized a US Citizen who was afforded rights and protection of the US government.

In all instances Trump bows down to the dictators and says, "I believe them."

The message is loud and clear across the globe. Do what you want to Americans abroad because all you have to do is deny knowing about it and Trump will believe you.

If even one of these things happened while Obama was in office the Trump loving Republicans would have lost their crap. In fact, didn't they go on and on about his treasonous act of the "apology tour" across the globe? That didn't even involved dead Americans.
