In hindsight, I think we can see why Trump was loving up to Kim Jong Un?

North Korea's closest ally is China.

By cozying up to Kim Jong Un, Trump wanted to show the Chinese leaders that he was willing to do what they wanted if they would help him win the next election.

It didn't matter if the Chinese were putting a million people into concentration camps. Human rights was no issue for Trump. In fact, he encouraged the Chinese to do it.

According to Bolton, Trump thought the press were "scumbags" and should be "executed".

The Republicans knew everything and they did nothing.

What they have done is unforgivable.
