Trump Says He’s Not Calling Kim out on Human Rights – This Is Why
On Friday, President Trump was asked by the press about his obvious unwillingness to call out North Korean dictator Kim Jung Un on his brutal human rights violations. His answer: he doesn’t want your children to die in a nuclear hellstorm. Because apparently, that’s the binary choice: either massage a tinpot dictator, or he’ll fire nuclear weapons at us. Never mind that presidents have excoriated the Kim family’s human rights record for decades; never mind that President Trump himself spoke in heartbreaking terms about North Korea’s human rights violations in January, at the State of the Union Address, where he touted a North Korean escapee who had been crippled by the juche state. No, if Trump doesn’t flatter Kim now, your kids will end up like the kids at the playground in the dream sequence from Terminator 2.
