Comments made by Donald Trump before his meeting with South Korean President Lee Jae Myung in the Oval Office both stunned and baffled a panel on MSNBC on Tuesday morning
The day after the meeting, MSNBC’s Jonathan Lemire summarized for his co-host on “Morning Joe” the criticisms the president has made about the lack of freedom –– but they were not aimed at North Korea’s Kim Jong-un, but instead at his guest.
The led co-host Joe Scarborough to interrupt after he had asked why Trump is so enamored of the North Korean strongman, who the host called “the world’s worst dictator.”
“This shows you just how topsy-turvy the Trump foreign policy is,” Lemire began. “He spent the last couple of days, including yesterday morning before the meeting really bashing South Korea, suggesting that they were sort of that, that there was undue political and religious persecution there, suggesting that––.”
“Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait ,wait, wait,” host Scarborough interrupted. “In Korea?”
