I think this is a terrible speach. He is forcing criminals to leave U.S and join Korea. But Korea is evil, maybe it's a small crime...

He didn't say that at all, in fact he's against capitalism to a certain extent.

Not what he's saying at all. He's saying that if people are upset with capitalism, then they are more than welcome to move to North Korea where capitalism is nonexistent and illegal. He's not forcing anyone to do anything. Also, it's important to note that anti-capitalists aren't necessarily criminals, although they can certainly commit criminal acts. But the mere act of not liking capitalism is not illegal. Something you can't say for North Korea, where you can only be a dedicated follower of Juche socialism.

@kitty

He does have some anti-laissez faire views and I believe he said something along the lines that capitalism has not cured diseases.

But watch this:

“People are welcome to any view they want. Some people, through luck and skill, end up with a lot of assets. If you’re good at kicking a ball, writing software, investing in stocks, it pays extremely well. Capitalism has worked very well. Anyone who wants to move to North Korea is welcome.”

But even if he didn't say, it is still a great point.

Flat that website provides no source, it's probably made up like many quotes on the internet.

I'd like to see a video of him saying it.

If this is your standard for determining if quotes are real or not, I'm afraid I can't find anything. But what I did find, and I already showed you, is that he definitely supports capitalism. Video evidence.

As for the particular quote, I'll concede it's possible he didn't say it although I did provide the Telegraph article. However, that shouldn't mean we disregard the quote entirely. Instead, let's just examine the content of the quote, which I think is great.

Towards the end of the video he specifically mentions capitalism, but also government. He's more in favor of mixed economics than pure capitalism.
