Recently, the Institute of International Studies in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea issued its “White Paper on Human Rights Violations in the U.S. in 2017,” which accuses the Trump administration of being a billionaires club with a "policy of racism," according to Newsweek. The paper also rebuked the U.S. for not upholding freedom of the press. 

The paper's release comes shortly after Trump's first State of the Union address, during which the president referred to Kim Jong Un as "depraved," noting that North Korean nuclear missiles could "soon threaten" the U.S. mainland.

The paper rebutted Trump's words by claiming that human rights have been on the decline in the U.S. ever since Trump step foot into the White House. It specifically cited instances of racial discord, such as the Charlottesville rally, which amped up long-running racial tensions across the nation. 

“Racial discrimination and misanthropy are serious maladies inherent to the social system of the U.S., and they have been aggravated since Trump took office,” the paper stated. “The racial violence that took place in Charlottesville, Virginia, on August 12 is a typical example of the acme of the current administration’s policy of racism.”

The institute commented on the president's reaction to reporting on Charlottesville, and journalism in general, calling the president's constant attacks on the fourth estate and his Twitter attacks proof that freedom of speech and freedom of the press exist only on paper in the U.S.

Further, the paper cited other issues such as homelessness and unemployment statistics as evidence that the “absolute majority of the working masses, deprived of elementary rights to survival, are hovering in the abyss of nightmare.”

The paper also suggested that the Trump administration is completely out of touch with these "working masses," pointing out that Trump has one of the wealthiest cabinets of any U.S. president ever.

“The total assets of public servants at the level of deputy secretary and above of the current administration are worth $14 billion,” noted the paper.

These public servants include former Exxon head Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson; former investor Secretary of Commerce, Wilbur Ross; former Golden Sachs banker and Secretary of the Treasury Steve Mnuchin and heiress Secretary of Education, Betsy DeVos.
