Corker on Trump's praise of Kim Jong Un: 'Really?'
The Politico ^ | July 25, 2018 | Stephanie Murray

Posted on 07/25/2018 3:04:25 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Senate Foreign Relations Chairman Bob Corker on Wednesday blasted President Donald Trump’s repeated praise of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un as a “talented” leader with a “great personality.”

“One in 10 North Koreans are living in slavery today,” Corker said during a Foreign Relations Committee hearing. “One in five children are stunted due to malnutrition. In the face of these realities, the president has called him very talented, and that he loves his people.”

“Really?” the Tennessee Republican added.

Corker, who is often critical of the president and is retiring at the end of this Congress, described Kim as “one of the most ruthless leaders on the planet.” He later took broader aim at Trump’s performance on the global stage.

“It’s the president who causes people to have concerns,” Corker said. “It’s the president’s actions that create tremendous distrust in this nation and our allies.”(continued)

Can’t wait for “Iran Deal” Corker to be gone.

TN has to get rid of Alexander in 2020.

I saw part of Lil Bobby Corker’s performance today. He was an ass. SOS Pompeo was excellent in exposing Corker’s smallness.

Liberals like Corker never get foreign policy. They are afraid of these gangster leaders, blow them up into great boogeymen. Trump is not intimidated, nor is he driven by ideology. That's why Trump is president and Corker is a lame duck on his way out.

I saw a dead snake in the middle of the road one time that was clearly smarter and more world-wise than Corker. How do these pointy pinheads ever get elected?

Is this guy a moron? In only 1.5 years, not even, I would say mere months, Trump has accomplished more with North Korea than the past 4 RAT/RINO Presidents did in 30 freakin years. The Norks are DISMANTLING their missile sites, they ENDED the Korean war! they are taking their guards away from the demilitarized zone, they have also banned all anti-US propaganda and this jackass wants to start a fire under Kim Jungs ass? You know what's going to happen next if Trump is allowed to continue? Human rights will improve and improve in that country. But NOOOOO we have to IMPEACH TRUMP because Democrats having power is MORE IMPORTANT WAAAH! Please give the crazy tent wearing lady the office! It's HER TIME!!!

The idiot Corker just doesn’t get the fact that Trump is playing Kim Jung-un like a fiddle to get him to denuclearize.

Hey Bob, let Trump handle the negotiations with Little Fat Boy.

Nobody's been able to get the Rocket Man or his daddy to do anything about their nuclear program until Trump.

If he wants to play kissy face with him to make it happen, it shows he knows how to deal with people on the other side of the table to make progress towards an end goal. Unlike past efforts with North Korea. All failures.

All the democRATS and RINOs like you Bob, have had your turn at North Korea.

Time for you to step off the stage and go quietly into the night.

Because you're embarrassing yourself. Just like Jeff Flake. John McCain. Revealing their hateful underbellies.

Leave but show some class and shut your trap going out the door. Whining is not an endearing quality.

If she succeeded in stealing the election, her entire term would have been based on nothing more than her accepting “tribute” money

Corker is trying to copy McCainiac in order to get a lot of TV face time and favorable news coverage by being negative toward a Republican president. It’s guaranteed that the lamestream media will gush over you if you are a Republican and criticize a member of your own party.

God saved us from her.
I can’t even imagine the hell we’d be if she was “in charge”.
