Also: A reminder that Kim Jong Un wanted $2 million in medical fees after returning Warmbier to U.S. custody after 15 months in captivity. He was in a coma and died days after returning home to Ohio. @annafifield broke that story in April https://t.co/zEq4mdS8uN

To be honest, the top photo is from 2012, back when we had a President.

Those Trump boys aren’t the brightest bulbs in the pack. President Obama visited the Korean DMZ in March 2012.

In a dictatorship, facts don’t matter. Just the story the Great Leader decides to spin. Or his son or daughter or son-in-law.
