Members of both parties criticize Trump's 'confidence' in Kim Jong Un

Members of both parties criticized President Trump’s handling of North Korea on Sunday after the president tweeted that he has “confidence” in Kim Jong Un and quoted North Korean state-run media’s assessment that former vice president Joe Biden is a “low IQ individual.”

Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.), a military veteran who sits on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, cited the Memorial Day holiday in taking issue with Trump’s message.

“It’s Memorial Day Weekend and you’re taking a shot at Biden while praising a dictator,” Kinzinger tweeted. “This is just plain wrong.”

Another Republican, Sen. Joni Ernst (Iowa), said she “certainly wouldn’t trust” Kim. Ernst, who is also a veteran and serves on the Senate Armed Services Committee, said she was disturbed by North Korea’s recent missile test as well as by Trump’s reaction.

“I think Japan does have reason to be concerned, and I am concerned as well,” she said on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “We need to see North Korea back off of those activities, and we need to take a very strong stance on that.”

Only problem is that thuglicans will go back to their fall back position of kissing their cult leader's big fat ass and line up behind him in a few days. Maybe blame Pres. Obama for not getting the job done. Then the corporate media will fall back to bothsiderism when Pres. Obama's approach to No Ko was NOTHING like fatso's approach to No Ko. As I recall, Pres. Obama wasn't in a three-way love affair with any murderous dictators and murderous despots like tRump IS.
