In a coronavirus briefing at the White House just now, impeached and manifestly unfit United States President Donald Trump wished North Korea's murderous dictator Kim Jong Un "good luck."

In so doing, Trump expressed greater concern for Kim than he has at any point so far for the nearly 45,000 Americans who have died of COVID-19.

It's very curious, isn't it? President of the United States.

Said Trump today of the North Korean leader:

"I can only say this, I wish him well."

"I have a very good relationship with him."

.@BretBaier: "North Korea. What can you tell us about the status of Kim Jong-un?" President Trump: "We don't know…I've had a very good relationship with him…I can only say this; I wish him well." Full video here: https://t.co/5xqvbQIhJx pic.twitter.com/MivyWqW0JM — CSPAN (@cspan) April 21, 2020

The president wishes Kim Jong Un good luck, following recent reports of a possible health crisis that reportedly placed him in "grave danger."

TRUMP: I just have to say to Kim Jong Un, I wish him very good luck … They came out with very serious medical reports, nobody's confirmed them. It was CNN that came out. When CNN comes out with a report, I don't place too much credence in it. pic.twitter.com/tus0t507p0 — August Takala (@RudyTakala) April 21, 2020

Trump wishes Kim Jong Un well, suggesting he *might* be in ill health, but then says he doesn't trust reporting by @cnn. Curious answer. Trump has access to classified intel reports. But he doesn't say that CNN is flat wrong, just that he doesn't trust it. — Paul Farhi (@farhip) April 21, 2020
