President Donald Trump on Wednesday hesitated to criticize the regime of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un amid muddied reports that some of the country’s top representatives in nuclear talks with the U.S. had been purged or killed.
By signing up you agree to receive email newsletters or alerts from POLITICO. You can unsubscribe at any time. Trump denounced how quickly many rush to judgment about Kim, telling reporters that “they like to blame Kim Jong Un immediately. But they said he was killed, and he wasn’t, he was at the theater the other night. So he wasn’t killed. The other four people I know nothing about.”
So what else is new. He gives all dictators the benefit of the doubt.
The story has already been debunked. That S. Korean newspaper is renown for fake news.
Before we jump to judgement in the court of public opinion 'did he or didn't he'. Seriously I was all over this as well, but now these things are being debunked on almost a daily basis. If it's 'fake' then the Media is destabilizing global politics. This is risky!
Like birtherism ? BirtherinChief potus is racist, just ask kushner
POTUS bends to the will of Kim Jong-un and Putin! I think it's about Trump's real estate dreams. He believes that he will have Trump Tower Moscow and now he believes he will develop the coast of NK. Once he's gone he'll be a big fat zero!
Is that Tom Hanks?
Some days I sit back and think to myself, 'self, how in the actual fuck did the United States of America end up in cahoots with North Korea'! Then I remember,there is a crazy person running the country and no one is willing to stand up and say STOP! OneVetsOpinion WeThePeople
In a way, I almost think Trump is right here. My gut tells me Kim is just a prop that does nothing but scripted performances in front of their controlled media and there's a group that actually controls everything. Kim is The Mandarin from Iron Man 3.
PROOF
That brutal dictator who has been inflicting unthinkable pain on his people who are starving and many dying in forced labour camps deserves to be judged and sentenced and not soon enough.
Kim Jong Un is a murdering dictator. Trump, our president, states we shouldn’t rush to judgement. Neither of these horrible individuals should be in power.
They knew about these executions over a month ago. Liars.
Once again the Traitor defends murderous Dictators. Trump is an Agent of Putin. Was he instructed by Putin to defend Kim Jung-Un?
Trump is mad jealous because he can only fire people instead of have them executed.
What!! What is the benefit of the doubt? He didn't get the result he wanted with lifted sanctions so he killed people.
What a abhorrent comment.
And turns out he was right again...they are alive & well....fake news...
Story about execution of top NK Diplomat was not true. He is around and walking and even appeared beside Kim Jung-Un. Stories of Kim killing other party members are true. His uncle and half-Brother were murdered.
Turns out they weren’t even executed. Fake news as usual
Didn't Little Rocket Man pledge to rid his country of Nukes only to turn around and conduct launches?
AnAssholeAbroad.
very American, due process. 🤪
After all, why rush to judgment on a murderous dictator that actually had dogs eat the newborn babies of female dissidents? Gotta take that judgment slow, right?
