President Trump is prodding the world’s most paranoid military empire on Twitter.

Trump kicked off his Tuesday morning by firing off foreign policy tweets about North Korea, saying the communist country is “looking for trouble” and the United States will somehow “solve the problem.”

“I explained to the President of China that a trade deal with the U.S. will be far better for them if they solve the North Korean problem!” Trump wrote in one tweet.

He added four minutes later: “North Korea is looking for trouble. If China decides to help, that would be great. If not, we will solve the problem without them! U.S.A.”

I heard that Trump was using Twitter to provoke North Korea.

Couldn't believe it was true.

It is true.

Whatever you thought was the "worse possible scenario" was for the Trump administration we are now there.

Trump + Twitter + Paranoid Homicidal Leader

Haven't even reached the 100 day mark.

He is signing the tweets, "USA".

1. An accident

Waiting to happen.

2. If he taunts enough....

The little idiot in N. Korea will take the bait....and do exactly what tRump wants him to do...provoke an attack in "self-defense".

One small...tiny...bit of hope is that "beloved leader" is surrounded by military men smart enough to know what the scope of such a disaster would really be and depose him and his entourage for good...but that's unlikely.

The most likely scenario is that tRump will get his wish...

And the crowds gathered on the White House lawn will be shouting USA! USA! USA!!

3. The "U.S.A." sign off insults me...

I love this country, but I HATE that fucking chant for what it has devolved into...

I remember the Lake Placid Olympics and the Miracle on Ice that popularized the chants of "U!S!A!" during that tourney and especially during the 4-3 game against the USSR and the Gold Medal game against Finland. It is a treasure memory/emotion/feeling for me and it has been violently usurped over the years by the knuckle-dragging, "liburl-hatin'", Neo-confederate assholes that chanted it ad nauseum during Trump's campaign. I especially LOVE to see that chant in crowds carrying the United States flag AND the fucking Confederate Battle Flag....real deep thinking crews.

The fact that he is using that as part of an incredibly irresponsible tweet is incomprehensible. This is the REAL THING little Donnie...you are NOT pretending to be President goddamn it...even though 3+ million more people voted against you...you ARE the President. Start fucking acting like it or choke to death or have a debilitating stroke or heart attack and become incapacitated. Either way, this is behavior more suited to an ill-adjusted 7th grader than a 70+ year old man.

Mike Pence is an ideological nightmare and completely horrible in his own right, but I fear nuclear exchanges with North Korea with Trump in power...

5. Couldn't agree more

It is especially embarrassing to watch it on the TV when you are overseas.

Even the chanting for the Miracle on Ice was a little overbearing but I give it a pass because it was a bunch of college kids against seasoned professionals, and somehow "Go kids go" would no be as effective.

Now we have crowds yelling USA USA when we have our best professionals (like in basketball) pummelling a bunch of college kids from a smaller country.

Jingoism is for weak countries not great nations.

4. a bullshitter recognizes a bullshitter

taunting NK is a win-win: both of them get to preen and ponce about comparing their dicks.

10. "worlds most paranoid military empire" -- that one is a tossup between U.S. and N.K.

actually I have an opinion about that, and it's not N.K.

[adigal]

11. Jesus!!! He taunts a lunatic with nukes, then puts USA????

What a fricking lunatic.

Please, let the cheeseburgers get to him before he kills us all.. I hate saying that, but he is really going to get millions killed with his ego and stupidity.
