WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Saturday said “only one thing will work” in dealing with North Korea after previous administrations had talked to Pyongyang without results.

“Presidents and their administrations have been talking to North Korea for 25 years, agreements made and massive amounts of money paid,” Trump said in a tweet. “...Hasn’t worked, agreements violated before the ink was dry, making fools of U.S. negotiators. Sorry, but only one thing will work!”

Trump did not make clear to what he was referring. The president has previously said the United States would destroy North Korea if necessary to protect itself and its allies.

[QED]

1. He's insane.

He's gonna get us embroiled in yet another unending war. Why? The Steele dossier is getting too much press and apparently is believed by Mueller, etc. He wants to save his sorry butt at the expense of our lives.

He's dangerous. Where is Kelly????

18. Unending war?? I think it will be pretty short. I agree w someone who said the world will take us ou

if we attack N. Korea unprovoked. We will have become the danger to the world. Why do we understand that? The world has been very tolerant of our bullying and warmongering, but is we do this, I think that is at an end. China and Europe may decide they've had enough of our bullying.

2. His polls numbers are pretty shitty

so he wants a war so bad. Anyone will do. I guess he figured the Middle East has had enough complications and might as well move on to someone else.

23. General Kelly has already disconnected the nuke button

Cheeto doesn't know it yet, but he can push that button all he wants and it won't do a f*cking thing.
Kelly knows Trump is crazy, he's not gonna let him start World War 3.

3. Only two explanations

Either he's going to start a war and kill everyone on the Korean peninsula (which the US business community, as heavily invested in South Korea as they are, would NOT appreciate) or he's going to open a golf course at Majon and bankrupt the country once and for all.

Knowing this idiot, we could get either one.

4. I wonder if he sees everything through the lens of a very aggressive businessman.

My hopes at this time is that he's trying to use the same kind of bluster and threats he's always used against anyone who crosses him, or tries to sue him.

I can't believe Wall Street has not very sternly told him what the blow-back would be on the markets, and we know damn well the military has told him the consequences to the populace of South Korea.

Of course, none of that may matter to a narcissistic crazy man.

5. He will say and do anything to get air time and ratings. nt

6. His one "thing" can only be one of two things

1.) Dropping nuclear bombs on North Korea that will release enough radiation to fatally irradiate half of South Korea (and the 30,000 American troops we have stationed there).

or

2.) Invading North Korea which will probably result in more than 30,000 American casualties as well as the destruction by the North of Seoul and most of South Korea's industrial capacity.

Will either of those two options "work?" I guess it all depends on what his definition of "work" is.

7. Oh STFU A$$face.

[neverforget]

8. The only thing that will work is removing Pumpkin Fuehrer from office.

Impeachment, 25th Amendment or resignation. Anyone of them will do.

9. If tRump were capable of empathy I'd say it would be time he visited several VA hospitals. . . . nt

[longship]

20. He'd throw them basket weaving kits.

Just thinking out loud...

[pwb]

10. How about just leave them alone?

[pansypoo53219]

11. he wants any excuse to use a nuke. YAY! ANARCHY!

[Mr. Ected]

12. You stupid dumbfuck

That's exactly what he thinks of you: "only one thing will work".

You're putting innocent Americans in harm's way with your thoughtless provocations.

Hard to believe that the USA would take the moral low road with respect to North Korea. Unfathomable in fact.

[Downtown Hound]

13. How about we offer Rump as a human sacrifice to North Korea

in exchange for peace? Seems like quite a deal to me.

[spiderpig]

14. He's 71 years old.

He is an international laughingstock.

Mueller is closing in.

The rats are fleeing the ship in record numbers.

The only people he can claim are loyal, his family, are all under scrutiny.

His properties are failing.

So what do you think The Dotard has in mind?

[mahina]

15. Petunias? Home made chocolate chip cookies?

Withdrawing from South Korea?

Or maybe just shutting the hell. Up and not being baited by lil' Kim?

[Midnight Writer]

22. He could send Britney Spears over to sweet talk him.

Despite Kim's bluster, he is a big fan of American pop culture. If he is starstruck by Rodman ...

16. Earlier this week a Bob Hope Class roll on/off vehicle carrier was here on Vancouver Island

It's home port is New Orleans and it's part of Atlantic command. Seems a long way from home for a ship of its type without having a specific mission.

[adigal]

17. I hope Kim from N Korea is more sane than Trump is

My anxiety over tweets like this goes sky high. I can't believe he hasn't been dragged out of that office in a straitjacket. Jesus Christ.

[Loyd]

19. To Trump and Kim:

Trump could position US warships in international waters, but in such a way that the North Korean test missiles can be perceived to be an attack on them.
