1. It is completely clear that Trump sided with Kim Jong Un over our intel agencies, court and NK experts to say that "I take him at his word" that Kim had nothing to do with the torture and death of American Otto Warmbier because he didn't READ a goddamn thing about it.....
2...this young man was murdered by the North Koreans. They pushed him towards death, got him on a plane before he died, and he died here. Read this - the moment his family saw him on the plane. And start to get mad at Trump's laziness and stupidity on this....
3...now, in the world of Trump, well -- who the hell knows what he thinks happened? Kim said "not me." And Trump says "OK!" But this was not some low-level thing. It was broadcast in NK. Otto's "confession" of working with the CIA to steal a poster was clearly written....
4...by the NK government (it even gave the wrong name for his dad's company, used idioms from Korean translated directly into english, etc.) Meanwhile, after they sentenced Otto to 15 years FOR TAKING A POSTER OFF A WALL, NK reached out through intermediaries to the....
5...US state department to tell them that they would return Otto if Obama hosted Kim Jong Un in Washington or gave him a summit elsewhere. YES! Kim kidnapped an American young man to get what Trump gave him FOR NOTHING. When Otto's parents went to the State Dept to....
6...find out about their son, they were told repeatedly "North Korea wants something from us. They are using Otto to try and get it." Here are excerpts from affidavits of witnesses and experts...
7...this boy was tortured. He was murdered. It was a major case in NK. It led to the NK gorvenement - which is KIM - using the hostage to get something. The idea that Kim had NO knowledge fo this and no involvement is absolutely asinine. It goes to show you.....
8....what a craven, evil and deeply mentally ill man Donald Trump is. He will abandon all American principals, shrug at murder, and blow a dictator IF the dictator first gives him compliments and nice letters. HE DECLARED THE CIA IS WRONG BECAUSE KIM WAS NICE TO HIM!!!.....
9...what does it take to finally repulse a Republican? Fix went berserk when Obama said he would talk to anyone under the right conditions, immediately screaming "HE WOULD TALK TO KIM JONG UN!!!" Now, we have a president siding with Kim over our intelligence agency, spitting....
10...at a family that has suffered immeasurably, for what? So Trump can get more compliments? I know the Cult will never get it. If Trump told them Kim would be his vice president, they would cheer. But sane republicans - what does it take? At long last, have you no decency?..
11....I know cultists won't read this. Please, all of you, do. Read the court finding on what NK did. And keep Trump's words "I take him at his word" in your mind as you read about what this murderous scumbag - and Trumps new friend - did. documentcloud.org/documents/5667…
