First trump said he believes kim knew nothing about the Otto situation and trump said he took it at his word.

Otto's parents call that a load of bs and say there's no way kim didn't know.

Now trump is saying the literal thing he said is not true.

Because international relations make most things go away or put on the backburner.

Is FDR less of a saint to you because he was chummy with the biggest mass murderer in world history?

Trump is in possibly the most important negotiation in decades. He probably shouldn’t have commented at all on Otto. Wasn’t the best move. To try to use this to vilify him, though is silly. Otto was taken under Obama and he did nothing. Liberals seem to only care when it can be used as a sword. Almost like liberals would rather a bad result in negotiations if it means they can blame trump. Sad.

It's a fairly complex situation don't you think? On one hand you have folks that claim Trump has one hand on the button and one foot on a banana peel.

We need to de-arm NK first and talk about retribution for Otto later. I would be upset if my son was killed my NK but I would think my kid was a GD idiot for going there as a journalist.

So libs. Do you want us to kick NK's arse or make peace with them and disarm their nuclear capabilities?

He’s not backpedaling. He clarifying his comments since his critics skewed them.

Trump said Kim didn’t know about Ottos treatment.

Ottos parents said “Kim is responsible for Otto” and slammed Trump.

They are saying two different things, and just like that, they are implying Trump said Kim isn’t responsible.

Which is not what Trump said.

Agreed. It's like taking a field trip to Syria and expecting them to laugh at your sophmorish pranks. Even an uneducated kid should know better.

How could he be responsible if "he wouldn't do that" and "didn't know about it"?

Show me a U.S. politician not named Ron or Rand Paul who doesn't suck up to the Saudi's.

Did otto not do this to himself? Serious question I don’t know the details of this saga.

Do Otto’s parents have some sort of access or knowledge that Trump doesn’t? Why am I expected to believe them?

No, you are once again full of shite. Show me where he said he now thinks Kim knew all about it.

Kim IS responsible. It was his prison camps that did it to Otto. It doesn’t mean he ordered it or even knew about.

At the end of the day, Kim is actually accountable for his people and for what his people do. Knowing or not.
