He's in a socialist country so all of his basic needs will be provided for free. If he's trans he'll get free reassignment surgery in North Korea, there's no racism and he'll be welcomed as a comrade.
Your response was perfect because things have become so absurd the lines between satire and reality have become blurred. If the treatment of past American Soldiers who defected to North Korea is any indication he's in for a nightmare. I wouldn't wish it on anyone so the truth matters. It was a foolish thing to do and the lefts demonization of capitalism and the United States may have influenced this guy. So I have empathy but the word needs to get out there that what he did was very stupid and self defeating.
