Asked if he had a message for the North Korean people, Trump said, "I think you have somebody that has a great feeling for them. He wants to do right by them and we got along really well. We had a great chemistry."
Anyone who KNOWS the domestic situation in North Korea knows this is hogwash:
“I think you have somebody [Kim] that has a great feeling for them. He wants to do right by them [the people in North Korea] and we got along really well.”
It is also totally unnecessary flattery of Kim by Trump, and likely is disheartening to hear (as much as they can) to all the North Koreans in Kim’s gulag. I don’t think Kim is moved, or moved to change internally by this flattery.
This is not about “the deal” [as little specifics as they are yet]. This is about Trump speaking for us, and to outright lie about the leader of North Korea, ignore he is a tyrant that maintains a gulag, and pretend he “loves his people” is a road he need not have traveled.
