Disgrace. Unfortunate Otto f... up knowing he was in North.. Korea. Dumb on his part. Wish he had the balls to go down without crying for the world to see. Pressure must have been too great.

Wow the gall of these Koreans

Bill Trump for the Korean war!

Otto Warmbier, a college student, had been sentenced to 15 years of hard labor after North Korea found him guilty of “crimes against the state” related to him taking a propaganda poster while on a tourism trip to Pyongyang.

Convince me what the incentive was to pay this.

North Koreans, like their carnage cousins Pakistan, know how to scam you inside out ~ 😂😂

Trump 'repeatedly complains that Obama has more Twitter followers than him'US president claims social media platform 'very discriminatory' to Republicans Scary. You’d think POTUS would have more important things to concentrate on. Shows a childish mentality. Maybe realDonaldTrump would have more Twitter followers if he weren't so mean and nasty towards others. No one wants to follow a total grump like Trump is. He labels people as being 'murders and rapists' solely due to their race. He's nice to awful dictators. Who can trust him? realDonaldTrump runs hot and cold towards people like a woman with a raging case of PMS. No one wants to follow someone like that on Twitter. Lots of his supporters have dumped him due to no tax refunds, he didn't bring their jobs back, and wants to take away their healthcare.
