I get some occasional liars are more trustworthy as others. I understand the need to distinguish types of grey. But in my understanding there's a certain logical baseline for that.
If you knew I lied half of the time, lacking other sources you would have no way of knowing if a statement of mine is true or not. Trump lies half of the time (says me, but many fact checkers seem to agree with that), so regarding truth there's no assessment possible for anything he says. No Korean contradicting him could change that in Trump's favor.
So if Trump contradicts the North Koreans, it's 100% a dart throw for me who to believe. They both don't make the baseline for any trust.
