North Korean Defector Has One Question for President Trump: Why?

Why, is a good question.

The answer is heavily wrapped up in callousness, indifference, and ego.

Kim Yong Hwa is a North Korean defector and the chairman of the North Korean Refugees Human Rights Association of Korea. Part of her group’s mission is to provide bottles of rice, waterproof Bibles, and financial aid to the impoverished people of her homeland.

Since April 2016, the organization has sent nearly sixty tons of bottled rice down waterways from South Korea into North Korea, and into the hands of the needy.

Kim has some thoughts regarding President Trump’s summit with the monster that oversees her home country. She realizes that even as the president, he can’t fully understand the atrocities of North Korea, but why praise him?

Commenting on Tuesday’s summit between Trump and the North Korean leader in Singapore, he said that there is no reason to hope that the latter would actually carry out promises to completely denuclearize his country.

Kim noted it would be “pretty easy” for the North Korean regime to hide nuclear materials, no matter what it promises to Trump and the rest of the world.

And most of us understand this, but Trump wants that Nobel Peace Prize, so he’s not worried about the particulars of how he gets there.

Kim argued that the North Korean regime had been in a “very difficult situation internally” since November because of the U.N. economic sanctions, which he suggested could have eventually led to unrest against Kim Jong Un’s regime and potentially the liberation of the North Korean people.

The recent warming of relations has “gone in the opposite direction,” he said.

He gave a two-bit despot legitimacy and has made our allies in the region very uncomfortable. The people voted for a chaos candidate, so this is what  you get.

The defector criticized Trump’s praises for Kim Jong Un and saying that he “loves his people,” asking why the U.S. president had to make such “great remarks” and compromise with the North Korean leader.

“I don’t get it,” the defector said, pointing out that Kim Jong Un is the state leader of concentration camps where hundreds of thousands of people are imprisoned, including many Christians.

“I don’t know what kind of person Trump is now,” Kim said, asking again why the U.S. president has decided to “recognize, acknowledge, and promote the cruelest leader in human history.”

Kim [the defector] says he’s supported Trump in some areas, but after this, he doesn’t know.

Unfortunately, American supporters of Trump are much more blind and resistant to facing the truth about the fraud in the White House.

Repeated warnings about the consequences of meeting with Kim Jong Un could not begin to match the nightmare of having President Trump come out of that brief summit praising the goodness and strength of a bloodthirsty tyrant.

Trump’s praise of men like Kim, Xi Jinping, and Vladimir Putin makes him a liability to the message our nation should be sending to the world.

At this point, because of the alliances he seeks to build with tyrants, ahead of our allies, if any lawmaker refers to him or herself as a “Trump Republican,” I have to assume they’ve forgotten why they were sent to Washington, in the first place. It’s to represent the best interests of their constituents, not rubber stamp whatever Trump wants.

The throw their lot in with him, They’ve also thrown their lot in with the ideology of the Communist dictators he’s so ardently pursuing.

And the world is watching.
