DJT also did the correct thing in saying that if Kim said he didnt know about Otto, he would take him at his word. 

All that means is that he didnt call Kim a liar which would break ties and prevent any further talks or progress. He didnt say he was taking Kim's side on the issue. Diplomats will operate this way all the time. Act nice to each other, then go through back channels to figure out the truth or get things done.

The right thing to do is to not publicly disgrace the memory of an America to appease the ego of a dictator.

This also wouldn’t be as big of a deal if he didn’t have a history of publicly stating that he believes dictators over our intelligence community when they say they didn’t commit crimes.

North Korea’s human rights abuses should be addressed. We aren’t a moral compass for the rest of the world if we publicly state belief that some of the biggest abusers of humans rights aren’t abusing human rights.
