From Gregory B. Gonzalez at MadMikesAmerica:
It’s been another horrible week for Donald Trump. Not only did his former lawyer and ‘fixer’, Michael Cohen, testify before Congress against him, but he also went to Vietnam for his second summit with North Korean leader and fashion icon, Kim Jong-Un, and came away with nothing.
First of all, though I have every sympathy for the kid’s family, I don’t have a lot of sympathy for him. Otto Warmbier is the essence of a dumbass. North Korea does NOT screw around. If you’re caught doing ANYTHING suspicious, you’ll be lucky if all they do is beat the holy SHIT out of you. Judging from his condition as he was shown coming home, it looked like the North Koreans went to town with Otto.
That said, do you REALLY think it’s possible that Kim Jong-Un wasn’t aware about it? Otto Warmbier started an international incident, for Christ’s sake! Of course the leader of the country would know about it!
For Trump to take Kim’s word is just plain idiotic! It shouldn’t surprise anyone. Trump believed Putin when he said he didn’t interfere in the 2016 election, and he believed MBS when he said he had nothing to do with the death of Jamal Khashoggi.
Apparently, all anyone has to do is say, “I didn’t do it!”and Trump believes it.
