I never like being misinterpreted, but especially when it comes to Otto Warmbier and his great family, Trump argued. Remember, I got Otto out along with three others.
The previous Administration did nothing, and he was taken on their watch, he continued.
Of course I hold North Korea responsible for Ottos mistreatment and death, he wrote, without mentioning Jong-un.
Most important, Otto Warmbier will not have died in vain. Otto and his family have become a tremendous symbol of strong passion and strength, which will last for many years into the future, he continued.
I love Otto and think of him often! Trump added.

Just for the record, he seems to be placing more personal blame on President Obama...

Trump cares about the Warmbier family about as much as he did the Kahn family when their son Humayun died in Iraq.

Yeah, just in time for his family to get a good look at him before he died from the torture that was inflicted on him. I guess America should be grateful that Kim didn't blow him to kingdom come with an anti-aircraft artillery round.

....than on Kim Jong Un, who supposedly had no idea that his prison camps were hellish death factories.
Unfuckingbelievable.

Donald Trump: US soldier's widow says President forgot her husband's name in phone call
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-10-24/us-soldiers-widow-says-donald-trump-forgot-her-husbands-name/9078430
Myeshia Johnson told the American ABC's Good Morning America program that a group of people listened to Mr Trump's call on speaker phone as they drove to receive Sergeant La David Johnson's body.
"The President said that he [Sergeant Johnson] knew what he signed up for, but it hurts anyway," Ms Johnson said.
"The only way he could remember my husband's name was he told me he had my husband's report in front of him and that's when he actually said La David."
The comments back up those of Democratic Party politician Frederica Wilson a close friend of the Johnson family who was a passenger in the car at the time, and who first publicised details of the phone call.
