Or even just after a nap, I worry that Trump has started a nuclear war with North Korea. It was particularly bad Saturday, when I woke up and looked around and thought, at least we're still here. Then I turned on the TV to see the cable networks were airing commercials and was relieved.
This is due to Trump's "calm before the storm" comment. While he hasn't nuked them yet, I can't help thinking he's going to do so soon. He's made a series of comments since that indicate to me that is what he meant by "the storm."
I remember the sick feeling I had when the Iraq War started. This of course would be far worse because if N Korea is attacked, they WILL use their nukes. Their entire national identity, from what I've heard, is built around their nuclear capacity and belief they could survive a nuclear war.
If anyone can talk me down, please do so.

(23,297 posts)I'm just here to commiserate. I was up walking the floors from 3:30 on last night doing the same thing. I was relieved when it was time to get the kiddo out of bed and ready for school so I could concentrate on something else. No question Dotard is baiting NK into striking so that he can hit back and have an army of deplorables singing his praises. I only hope that crazy Kim Jong-un isn't AS sick and twisted as 45. This pResident is doing so much damage already...without nukes. Universe, help us.

Tend not to worry about things that I have no control over. Worry about getting run over by a school bus or cho cho train, so I drive slow and safely.
That's just me and I do feel bad for you and wish I could help.

(53,410 posts)I know he will do whatever he wants as long as someone doesn't stop him. He's likely to be quite ignorant of the effect of radiation on living things and the planet. He probably doesn't understand that a nuclear bomb is far more destructive than a leaking nuclear plant.

Relax and enjoy you life.
He does this to upset people.
I wish the press would stop reporting this crap.
The more upset people get the more he will do it.
I really wish the press would call him out on this.

(1,588 posts)The adults have it under control.
They do not want to be blown up either.
I had a period of stress, I made out ok.
I will not allow that fool in the white house to take me there again.
Just relax and enjoy every day.
