Trump on Kim Jong Un: 'Why shouldn’t I like him?'
President Donald Trump shakes hands with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in Hanoi. By Philip Bump Philip Bump National correspondent focused largely on the numbers behind politics Email Bio Follow March 1 at 11:53 AM Fox News’ Sean Hannity asked President Trump during an interview that aired on “Hannity” on Thursday why Trump walked away from an agreement with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.He was optimistic about the future: “Again, the relationship is very good,” Trump said. “He likes me.
What Trump’s doing, really, is approaching leadership of the country as he did his leadership of the Trump Organization. There he was dictator, enacting by decree whatever his heart desired. He embodied that company as Kim embodies North Korea. But now he has a new job. As unusual as this approach is for a president, it’s even more remarkable that Trump would wonder aloud why he should be expected not to like Kim. This from a president who, during his first State of the Union address in 2018, said that “no regime has oppressed its own citizens more totally or brutally than the cruel dictatorship in North Korea.”
On Thursday, his tune was different. Kim “felt badly” about Warmbier’s death, Trump insisted. “He tells me that he didn’t know about it, and I will take him at his word.” “The commission estimates that hundreds of thousands of political prisoners have perished in these camps over the past five decades,” it continued.
