He tweets a lot of nonsense that then never has any followup anywhere, including any followup by government officials taking any related actions. It's just nonsense meant to stir people up.

Trump is trying to change the subject away from his totally inappropriate remarks he has made about Puerto Rico in general and Mayor Cruz in particular.

He is willing to trade threats and insults with Kim Jong Un, possibly putting our nation and/or our allies at risk in an effort to save face.

Shameful and dangerous.

Nothing good can come from that.

Trump can't control himself. Surely, he's been told of the world-ending risks of continuing to insult the guy who analysts say has a massive ego and a quick temper. Just like Trump.

But he does it. Kelly must be going nuts.

Couldn't someone just grab him by the pussy and drag him out? That's what we would have done in the old days. (I'm paraphrasing Donald Trump here)

trump is trying to take attention from the quagmire in Puerto Rico, among other things. He's unhinged enough to risk starting WWIII in pursuit of that.

We cannot get rid of this abominable excuse for a president, soon enough.

Especially, after that one minuscule bump in the polls early on in this failure of a Maladministration, sad.

This will not end well.
