It’s really not strange at all, but we do have to speak in the appropriate code. And we can emphasize that it should be strange when the President of the United States speaks in this way.

That Trump put so much blame on Obama when the North Koreans sent Warmbier back in essentially a body bag helps illustrate why his love affair with and absolution of Kim is so ridiculous and unpatriotic.

I wonder if the Warmbiers are still as high in Trump as they were then

The only outlier here is Maduro. I was thinking Trump’s motive in keeping his distance from him was to “bash the socialists,” but again, Kim. So I can’t really say why Maduro hasn’t been able to join the Putin-Kim-Duterte-etc. Club

One thing I’d point out is that Trump didn’t just excuse Putin on the election interference, as huge as that was; he also pooh-poohed his murdering opponents. When Trump was asked about that he said what, you think we’re so innocent? It was appalling. So let’s list Putin’s murders as explicitly denied or excused by Trump, along with Kim, MBS, Duterte, etc.

No, it’s not “strange”. It’s not personal, just business. Ask Vito.

Not remotely condoning Wambier’s treatment, but any parent who would allow their child to go to North Korea isn’t entirely blameless.

I had to look to make sure, but I’m old enough to remember Otto’s old man accepting that SOTU invite.

The hermit nation has outrageously claimed he would still be alive today had President Obama requested the release, with North Korea labelling itself as the “biggest victim” of the situation.

In its first official comment since the death, an unnamed North Korean Foreign Ministry spokesman insisted that Mr Warmbier’s sudden death, less than a week after his return to the US in his normal state of health “is a mystery to us as well.”

You cannot awaken a man who only pretends to be asleep.

Waiting to see if Maduro turns out to be a “winner.” If he does, then he can be included in Trump’s pantheon of leaders to be admired.

This is how Trump’s world works. The Very Important People tell us what to do, say, and believe, and we follow. Those who don’t are just losers who are jealous of the VIPs. If he could have Michael Cohen killed or tortured right now, do you think he wouldn’t do it?

Could you imagine Repubs reaction if President Obama had said such a thing?

It isn’t just that Trump believes thugs. He admires them.

A lot of people don’t like blaming the victims. But there are a number of things that should not be done, visiting NK is like a dark skinned young man approaching a house with a rebel flag, or a young woman accepting drinks at a frat party.

I know, but all my children are over 21 and if they had proposed to go to North Korea, I would have found a way to talk them out of it.

No possibility of a “Trump Hotel Caracas.” Remember, with him, it’s always about the money.
