Trump tweets just now: "Only one thing will work" with North Korea




Presidents and their administrations have been talking to North Korea for 25 years, agreements made and massive amounts of money paid......






...hasn't worked, agreements violated before the ink was dry, makings fools of U.S. negotiators. Sorry, but only one thing will work!

I wonder when he'll do that. We know what his "only one thing" amounts to, and it will result in the deaths of many thousands of people. He will make the Vegas shooter look like an amateur. But then, that's probably what he hopes to do.

If I were in Seoul, I think I'd be planning a long vacation, starting with one of the first available flights to somewhere else.

He will view it as Reality TV. I think it's inevitable he is going to do something amazing stupid and dangerous. I can't believe the GOP sits on their asses and lets this guy march forward.

I don't know why people keep taking him seriously on this. He's just doing it for attention. There is nothing outside his tweets that indicate anything will happen. IMHO, this nonsense is for his base full of rubes.

Agreements don't work?

Not sure what bluffing and sabre rattling is going to accomplish when the enemy knows you are a scam artist.

This is a Trump 2020 infomercial.

the more action he is going to have to take to keep his base when NK drops a non-nuclear test missile near SanFran.

If he keeps opening his stupid mouth, and then takes no action at all when we are provoked, he will lose some of his base.

His whole existence is maintaining his base of supporters. He will not do anything that causes them to shun him.

He would be better served to shut the hell up. That way, his little mind won't be pressured to make hasty decisions.

Please refer to Trump as Moron.

All the other nick names get deluded. He hates "Moron", so let's give it to him every chance we get.

We heard them ALL the time, from my mother, and I've heard others talk about the same experience.

Not that I am diminishing the danger of him spouting off, like that, since it could easily trigger someone else to set the flaming ball in motion.

Hopefully there are some rational minds to guide this idiot. Psychopaths have something in common .. just like Stephen Paddock, they always cause mayhem before they go down.

He doesn't specifically say anything.
He just implies which means nothing.

These aren't policy decisions.
He's just using his stupid, childish, braggadocio to throw threats out exactly like N. Korea does.

And even then, the US, by virtue of geography, didn’t feel the national pain of a military invasion. I’d suspect that most people have no concept of the unspeakable human cruelty that becomes normal during wartime. So the likelihood that a major war erupts is heightened by the US citizens’ complete naïveté regarding war.

happened once before in my 66 year life but I think he needs attention so much he just flaps his gums. He knows that none of his wives love him, they're in it for the money, he's worried his kids will take it and run off to a tropical island after he dies., Sooooooo, he has to have a spotlight on him. Anyway possible.

Sadly, it scares the hell out of most thinking people.

He does have the habit of doubling down when his bullshit is called. This could turn from bluster to action if he gets pushed in a corner.
