Philip Rucker on Twitter: "Trump says he believes Kim Jong Un was not responsible for what happened to Otto Warmbier. "Those prisons are rough...He tells me that he didn’t know about it and I will take him at his word.” Echoes of Trump previously taking Vladimir Putin at his word."

  Just like Putin, Trump again siding with a dictator. This time defending him against the death of a US citizen. Shameful. #HanoiSummit

  I didn't think I could get as angry as I have been about caged kids on the southern border ... but this is despicable, disgraceful, and diabolical.
