North Korean Defector Ji Seong-ho Describes Meeting Trump
He stood taller than the democrats at the SOTU.
Quote:The face of a young North Korean defector who attended the State of the Union address as President Donald Trump’s special guest lit up with excitement when asked about his first meeting with the president, in an exclusive interview with The Daily Caller.
Trump introduced the American people at the State of the Union address Tuesday to Ji Seong-ho, a North Korean defector who overcame starvation, a tragic accident that left him physically disabled, the loss of loved ones, torture, and a challenging thousand-mile journey to freedom on a pair of wooden crutches.
A number of people gathered to take pictures with the president after Trump concluded his speech.
“There were so many American heroes in the waiting room,” Ji told The Daily Caller Thursday, recalling his feelings that night. “But, I was the first person to take a photo with the president.”
“I was nervous,” he said, admitting that he felt a little embarrassed, like he did not deserve such an honor.
The president appeared to pick up on Ji’s discomfort. “He comforted me and said he admired me for what I’d been through. He put a hand on my shoulder, hugged me, and gave me a wink,” Ji told The Daily Caller, smiling bright as he described his first meeting with Trump.
“It was unforgettable,” he added.

Trump is such a racist thug. He hates all people of color.

There's gotta be an obstruction of justice angle in there somewhere. Keep looking.

Political stunt by Trump trying to gain favor with the North Korean immigrant voting block (there has to be 20 or 30 of them at least)

Great story. Many people choked up whenever Mr. Ji raised his crutches in triumph. May he be a reminder of the atrocities that come with communism/socialism.
Never forget!
