Even Republicans think Trump's Biden insults have gone too far

0

North Korea's totalitarian leader is talking about 2020 presidential candidates, and President Trump is loving it.

Yes, for some reason, Kim Jong Un insulted Vice President Joe Biden last week, and Trump spun it as the dictator calling Biden a "low IQ individual" in a Saturday tweet. Trump has since gone on to say he "agrees" with Kim's Biden assessment, and it has members of Trump's own party convinced he's in the wrong.

Mirroring his Saturday tweet, Trump said in a Monday press conference that "Kim Jong Un made a statement that Joe Biden is a low IQ individual" and that "I think I agree with him on that." Meanwhile, Trump called Kim a "smart man," prompting immediate blowback from Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.). "You're taking a shot at Biden while praising a dictator. This is just plain wrong," Kinzinger, a veteran, tweeted Sunday. Rep. Pete King (R-N.Y.) repeated that sentiment on Tuesday.

Also in his Saturday tweet, Trump said he wasn't concerned with North Korea's recent "small weapons" testing because he has "confidence that Chairman Kim will keep his promise to me." Biden, on the other hand, called Kim a "dictator" and a "tyrant" at a recent rally.
