President Trump on Saturday lamented his “horrible position” of negotiating with North Korea following the death of Otto Warmbier, after the president drew criticism for saying that he accepted Kim Jong Un’s word that he didn’t know about Mr. Warmbier’s abuse in Pyongyang’s captivity.
Speaking at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Oxon Hill, Md., Mr. Trump said, “I’m in such a horrible position because in one way I have to negotiate. The other way, I love Mr. and Mrs. Warmbier and I love Otto. And it’s a very,...
First of all Mr Warmbier was an idiot to tear down a propaganda poster. Second. We don’t know what happened to him. He could have taken a deadly drug given to him by others. Third, Trump’s statement is accurate.
Like anyone as coarsening as Trump would know anything delicate.
🐂💩
trump admits trying to 'play ' UN , like everyone else in world and America to futher corrupt & racist agenda and trump enterprises
Sucking up is not “negotiating.”
Playing games with words, playing games with people's lives, playing with the safety and security of our entire nation, must be nice...
Negotiate - is that what we are calling unnecessarily sucking up to a brutal dictator now?
Obama managed to negotiate a deal with Iran. Trump has managed to try and ruin that one and failed to negotiate one with N Korea. Not so easy is it Donny.
Trump: He said he didn't know about it and i take his word America:
I coddled a dictator and my base doesn’t care.
You sir are incapable of love, we see it displayed everyday in every word you utter and every act you preform on the world stage, Your soul is black as Hades an you have no Heart.
Why doesn’t he just apologize?
So instead of taking a stand for decency he made himself look like a tool? gop
It’s only a very delicate balance if you have no principles. I think it is appalling to most Americans that their country has emerged unprincipled, ostensibly so, for the first time in its history.
Trumps “sucking up diplomacy” to a dictator shows absolute weakness on America while the NoKor brutal dictator walks away w/ nothing but praises.
True and bare.
If you’re thinking man you certainly understand this, if it’s all about hatred and partisans politics you don’t.
Too late! Worst president in my lifetime!
Trump cannot handle the truth. When faced with it, he sides with a murderer.
Donald tosses around the word love like he's a sociopath incapable of feeling it, with no concept of the what love means.
He took the hit for us. He needs to get a deal with a hermit monster who can vaporize million of those still alive. He took the hit & he is willing to do that. Can any1 remember a politician that would do That? Bernie might, I don't know but I can't remember any1 who would
북한의 인권문제에 대한 말씀을 하시는것으로 보입니다. 전통은 없지만 미국 CPAC -유권자 네트워크가 절실한 한반도 입니다. 한국은 1950년 이후[6.25사변] 공산주의자들이 한국땅에서 버젓이 자리잡고,,북한과 마찬가지로 단 한번도 목소리[국민] 를 낸 적이 없었습니다. 박근혜대통령복귀하여
Now THAT'S bulls**t!
He has never been loved, not even by his mother. He doesn’t know the meaning of this word.
It is only a “very, very delicate balance” when you are a complete a**hole, with no integrity or moral compass. Kim is a ruthless despot and an international pariah, but trump admires him as a “great leader” and shamelessly fawns after him. trump is a national embarrassment.
realDonaldTrump is so full of shit
The world's greatest negotiator (self proclaimed) doesn't realize that negotiating and holding someone responsible for their actions are NOT mutually exclusive. A Coulter was right: 'the worst negotiator God ever created'. Trump used Otto's family at last year's SOTU. SHAME!
While Trump doesn't say it well. America has negotiated with dictators before. Balancing death of Americans with negotiating peace is hard. Think of Japan, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan. While I sympathize with the Warmbiers, peace & ultimately a unified Korea more important.
Poor baby. Maybe he needs a less stressful job...
No!! It’s not!! It’s truth to lies!
This isn’t delicate! at keep Otto out of the equation, to use his name in vain for your gain is disgusting and disturbing...period
That's a lot of crap from POTUS realDonaldTrump and has nothing to do with real negotiation, which was a fail at Hanoi anyway. POTUS realDonaldTrump should have kept his mouth shut in the first place!
America hates unification on the Korean Peninsula
Sorry these are lies and realDonaldTrump knows it —- what a conman
Anyone NOT suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome understands this.
We need those nukes gone.
Total hypocrite!
realDonaldTrump save your negotiating for the SDNY indictments. Enjoy your your wealth while you still have it, because when they're done with you, there will be nothing left! ImpeachTrump
MAGA
realDonaldTrump I try to tell the truth when I can...........but most of the time l lie and make up shit.
The word “love” has lost all its significance. Can we come up with a replacement please?
Davidlaz That's a new way of throwing an entire family under a bus. If money means more to him over a dead journalist in exchange for SA to have bigger arsenals, what does he care about one measly Christian family whose son died as a result of NK torture?
Yeah we call that a slime position
How did that negotiation work out for you?
Coward!!!
It is very difficult and complicated. Otto's life is important. US country with many lives also important. As a leader, your decisions are not going to be supported by ALL. As a leader, do your best: Launching Rockets stopped, Hostages & Remains of Korean War coming back. Thank U
Davidlaz (cries crocodile tears....)
The breakup revealed that the United States is not interested in anything but Republican or Democratic parties,
Five year olds have more credible explanations for why they have their hand in the cookie jar.
Rather than whine about his position, Spanky could just do the right thing and tell the little guy he doesn't believe him about Otto. But that would never occur to the idiot in chief.
Balance is not one of Trump’s strong suits.
And what exactly did he “negotiate?” He (and the US) got absolutely nothing from this farce of a meeting. Meanwhile, the Warmbier family lost their child and had to listen to Trump fail to hold KJU accountable. It’s disgusting!
Wrong
DELICATE BALANCE?THIS SOUNDS LIKE CHARLOTTESVILLE BS TO ME
realDonaldTrump That you totally screwed up! dictatorlove ❤️
Con Artist Trump is about making a deal to build in North Korea after this WH Job! Bully Trump doesn’t care about Otto or anyone else!
Truth be told the Warmbiers (and other tragic families) are nothing more than PROPS .....on the 'Presidential Apprentice'.
Because when you have no ethical foundation, realDonaldTrump, everything gets reduced to maximizing the transaction... ... no matter who you hurt or what you compromise. LyingBastard TraitorousBastard ImpeachTheMF
Umm, no. You never sacrifice your honesty and moral standing because you may later need to “negotiate”. There is no “pretending” you believe one way to fool someone into thinking you’re on their side. His childish thinking is unbelievable.
Politics is more complicated than right or wrong. If we acted on feelings and not reason, we would be at war with just about every other country.
What a complete and total excuse for a human being this man and his bone spurs are/is
Geez!
He could’ve condemned the crime and NK without mentioning Kim. Diplomacy.
Spoken by someone seemingly out of balance.
Ah the great negotiator
No it isn’t. Either you stand for human rights or you don’t
Yeah...he doesn’t care either way...but nice of the Wall Street Journal to TRY to make him sound sympathetic. Are you guys taking over from David Pecker?
Hotel 'die bitches' North Korea. 😐
LOVE ,he throws that word around like he knew what it meant .
America first does not mean Americans first.
So the master negotiator fails again. And humiliates an American family.
Negotiate what, surrendering our values to make a murderous dictator to feel good about his horrible crimes? There is no justification for the NK 'leader' crimes.
The Wall Street Journal is complicit in Trump covering up for 3 murderers! Vladimir Putin Kim Jong Un Crown Prince Salman Sad. Criminals
If this is his “The Art Of The Deal,” God help us all.
At least he got a great deal, oh wait ...
No it’s not a delicate balance realDonaldTrump POTUS , it is called principles and standing up for America. You don’t seem to understand that basic tenant of the role of President. But hey Kim writes you love ❤️ letters, how stupid!!!🤡🤡🤡CPAC GOP PressSec AnnCoulter 🤡🇺🇸
Trump is a nazi spineless swine and the only reason he wants peace w/N Korea and tossed the Warmbiers under the bus is he wants a Trump Tower Pyongyang and property for overpriced beachfront condos. FuckTrump Treasonswine
What a complete embarrassment to our country
This tweet reinforces how much of a WEAKLING LYIN Trump is - Trump looks and sounds like the fool and weakling he is - Trump and Trump alone can get a deal with KIM! what a joke - Trump flies all the way to Vietnam - COST TO TAXPAYERS MILLIONS- then gets NOTHING - SAD VERY SAD!!
He loves no one! Just himself
Very true statement
Trump is evil! 👿
No, Bozo. You don’t love the Warmbiers. You just gave a pass to your bro, believing him because he “said” so. He’s a dictator who controls everything including the murder of an innocent American.
It's all about him. Didn't anyone teach him there is no 'me' in leader?
You had a choice. Could only pick one. And the one you picked was in support of a muderous dictator.
It's apparent you could care less about the citizens of the United States the way you treated the family of Otto. Your an embarrassment to all that's good and decent. The MUELLER report will show you how corrupt you really are. You are done. FOREVER!!
'I love Otto?'
Well said. Not enough, but well said. Thing is, there are nasty realities about this world that the general public could neither understand nor stomach, were the bubble of protection around be burst.
Disgusting and disrespectful
No it's not. Easy. Don't coddle dictators.
Wandering what’s his meaning of love?
Doesn't balance well.
Maybe your predecessors were correct in not negotiating with terrorizing regimes, POTUS
You are either with us or against us Trump. Seems you've made your decision.
If a 'horrible position' is deciding between the welfare of an American Citizen and 'making a deal,' that is pretty telling of your priorities.
Another insane comment. Alzheimer’s maybe? Or just that stupid?
Support America, support NK, support America, support NK ... jeez I don’t know ... such a delicate balance 🙄😳🙄😳
You don’t negotiate with villianous dictators, except if you generally enjoy interacting with them.
Bullshitter in Chief!!!!! Practicing his chicanery.
IF realDonaldTrump IS DOING LIKE THIS THEN YOU MUST THINK ABOUT IT ...
OMG he doesn’t love them! He doesn’t care 🤬🤬
