BEIJING — North Korea issued a $2 million bill for the hospital care of comatose American Otto Warmbier, insisting that a U.S. official sign a pledge to pay it before being allowed to fly the University of Virginia student from Pyongyang in 2017…
the main U.S. envoy sent to retrieve Warmbier signed an agreement to pay the medical bill on instructions passed down from President Trump, according to two people familiar with the situation. They spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly.
We don’t know when the check was actually sent. But good fucking grief.

Well, I would have told him to sign it, too, if it was a precondition for Warmbier’s release.
It’s NK, we can just not pay it. I don’t see this as a scandal unless we actually paid it.
So the Singapore Summit was almost exactly 1 year after his release.
Ahem, I seem to recall a lot of screaming about the Obama administration paying Iran for release of prisoners…
Yes, but Obama wore a tan suit. So it’s different.
Well, looks like the Trump has not denied paying the bill, so there’s a chance we did not.

If there is one thing Trump knows, it’s how to not pay someone for services rendered.
Quick, are his feet smaller than average too?
Cheif Hostage Negotiater USA explicitly said that Trump does not pay for hostages and you know you can trust that guy
I’m still wrapping my head around how someone “evolves” from shitting on swans to peeing & hookers

Caveat: Stuff changes when there’s a real candidate on the Dem side, and Fox focuses on frightening seniors that (Candidate Name) is an unamerican socialist who will take all your guns and money and redistribute them to illegal MS13 invaders. That said, Trump’s base is shrinking.
Farmers should very understand that you reap what you sow.
Guess what…Mattis ain’t around anymore…

Mattis actually gave a shit about men and women in uniform. Trump and his lackeys do not.
As a war dog he also understands that shit can get out of control really quick, especially when your elected leader is a publicly bellicose moron.
