    When Trump says something usually the opposite is true

    Because he's a moron. Kim Dung knew that. That's why he (and Putin) wanted Trump to win the election

    That is funny, no one has been able to prove that Donald knew a thing about this transaction, or that it even took place.

    I bet he did not agree to that, but rather some lackey with no chance to pay it.

    "Negotiation" requires very little skill if you've got money that the other side desperately needs and will do anything to get. The functions of the office of the Head of State should not be confused with the quality of the actions of the incumbent which the Electoral College appointed.

    No money was paid or ever will be. It was something NK slipped in the agreement that the US had no intention of honoring. He was released without payment.

    Remind me what Obama paid the Taliban for the release of the US soldier that deserted and committed treason?

    Do you think that was a good investment?
