Trump Defends Kim's Brutal Regime: 'He's Doing What He's Seen Done'
Source: TPM
After enduring a full 25 hours without sleep, President Donald Trump continued to defend North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un and his well-documented history of human rights violations on Tuesday, telling VOAs Greta Van Susteren that Kims just doing what hes seen done.
Hes a rough guy. He has to be a rough guy or he has been a rough person, Trump told Van Susteren. But we got along very well. Hes smart, loves his people, he loves his country.
But hes starved them, Van Susteren asserted, Hes been brutal to them. He still loves his people?
Look, hes doing what hes seen done, if you look at it, he said. But, I really have to go by today and by yesterday and by a couple of weeks ago because thats really when this whole thing started.
During a press conference with reporters following the White Houses release of a joint-agreement between Kim and Trump committing to denuclearization of the Korean peninsula, Trump told reporters that he trusted Kim and said he was talented for running the country at such a young age.

Truly sick and twisted. Would love to hear what the rest of the GOP thinks.

(764 posts)Not sure what is more scary Trump meeting and praising one of worst authoritarians or that close to half US population chooses to look past reason and believe Trumps fantasy. Wonder how far down the rabbit hole we are going to travel....
