President Donald Trump gave a speech in South Korea Sunday where he claimed that former President Barack Obama sought to meet with North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un. But at least one person involved in national security called it absurd.

"At the risk of stating the obvious, this is horse-sh*t," Rice tweeted with the news story about Trump.

When Trump came into the White House he was warned about the danger of Kim from the Obama administration, but at no point were there reports that Obama tried to reach out to Kim.
