#1 Trump is too simple-minded to understand human rights is the "hallmark of sound American policy," Scarborough’s guest, presidential historian Jon Meacham, added.

In the 70s&80s Reagan was called simple-minded for condemning communism and calling the Soviet Union an empire of evil.

Back then the consensus in the political class was that the Soviet Union was an ascendant and (on their own terms) successful power, while the West was inevitably declining.

Notwithstanding the hypocrisy of Trump's critics, it would be a grave mistake not to take into account the uniquely depraved, deformed and insane nature of North Korea's regime which also defines its conduct towards other nations.

Telling lies to oneself to justify amoral realpolitik leads to cognitive dissonance and is dangerous.

Therefore:
Islam is not peace.
Islam is not a religion of peace.
Kim Jong-Un does not love his people.

#4 Joe, who know you were still a neo-con? /sarc

The term used for implication is 'regime change'. How did that work in your Bush-Obama era? How many have been sacrifices to that concept in the last 18 years?

#10 Was FDR sick for ignoring human rights in the Soviet Union during the Malta conference? Was Truman sick for ignoring Japanese Human Right violations when he decided not to try and hang the Emperor of Japan? Was Nixon sick for ignoring Chinese human rights violations when he met with Mao?

Did Joe feel Obama was sick for ignoring Cuban and Iranian human rights issues?

Joe Scarborough sounds a bit naive.

#11 We can fix them in less than an hour. After nuking North Korea out of existence, there won't be anymore human rights violations. How's that sound Commie Joe?

#12 Joe Scarborough sounds a bit naive.

Consider his audience and it makes sense.
