Aides warned Trump not to attack North Korea's leader personally before his fiery U.N. address

Senior aides to President Trump repeatedly warned him not to deliver a personal attack on North Korea’s leader at the United Nations this week, saying insulting the young despot in such a prominent venue could irreparably escalate tensions and shut off any chance for negotiations to defuse the…

Trump needs to shut his mouth or we’re all in trouble. Trump scares me.

Thanks for identifying the real problem. It’s not North Korea launching missiles, testing nuclear weapons, and threatening to nuke Guam, it’s Trump’s Twitter account.
 
IMO the LAST thing we need is for our President to make Kim Jong Un madder than he already is.
 
Trump’s inane and childish comments are just throwing gasoline on the fire. Someone has to be an adult. So far, neither Trump nor Kim have risen above the kindergarten level. All of this would be amusing if there were not millions of lives at stake.
 
Exactly, Trump should be figuring out how he can appease Kim Jung Un. Confronting bad guys never works, best to give them what they want and hope they go away.
 
There are not enough Depends on this earth to cover all of the leftists who are (still) wetting their pants. I’m going to invest in the stock!

Seriously, this is the exact same chicken little emotion that caused panic when President Reagan walked out of the Reykjavik summit. “World War 3!!!” they screamed. Waiting…

No, it was called leadership and principle. After the last 8 years of vacuous waffling and kowtowing to thug dictators by a paper tiger, the thugs are hearing a different voice. One that actually means something.

Hillary Clinton brags about killing foreign leaders “We came, we saw, he died!!” but you think that calling a brutal dictator “Rocket Man” is the real problem.
 
When a child throws a tantrum, the adult doesn’t fall to the floor and try in all seriousness to outdo him.

There’s a difference between strong and even threatening talk (if that floats your boat) and being completely undisciplined and unpresidential. Want a strong leader all you want, it’s not even Trump’s policies that bother me the most, but his lack of presidential composure and dignity in his office.

So you think KJU can be pasified?

If we whisper sweet nothings into his ear, will he then dismantle his nuclear program?
 
At least for NK, their childish rhetoric is very carefully calculated bravado for their massive state propaganda machine and to preserve the Kim family’s place as opposed to getting deposed.

Whereas Trump thinks it’s all personal and serious and it’s just in his nature to need the last word. For as crazy and unstable as NK’s rhetoric sounds, I honestly think Trump is the more unstable character. That’s not to say NK is good – it’s an evil regime. But Trump is just undermining the dignity of his office and sounds more like a bag of hot air than a “strong leader.” It’s not that he’s “talking strong”, that would be one thing, wise or not. It’s his word choices, specific rhetoric, and overall manner that’s just undignified.

No, but I think that by all the fire and fury and insulting talk, which is childish, the chances of KJU using his nukes on us and our allies increase.

Perhaps, though the reality is that any deployment of a nuke would result in absolute international condemnation, losing them all allies, even China, and would result in South Korea becoming an island as North Korea is blotted out of the face of the Earth. Their leaders no doubt know this.

I have heavily criticized the president’s speaking. What do I think would be more presidential? Something along the lines of:

“The United States’ strategy of appeasement for North Korea is over. The United States and its allies have contingent military options in place as possible resolutions to North Korea’s nuclear program. North Korea is forewarned that any military aggression against the United States or its allies will result in the total force of the United States military being turned against it and the condemnation of the international community.”

Not that i agree with the hawkish policies noted above, but that at least is along the lines of being presidential and dignified. None of this “rocket man” name calling or all this other grade-school sounding talk about death and destruction and fire and the ways Trump talks about these things. And absolutely none of this need to have the last word.

It’s ironic that Melania has taken up the cause of anti-bullying. Does anyone think she has her husband on her mind when she plans what she wants to say?

He is a 71 year old man who should have learned some self discipline by now. I am so tired of people excusing Trump’s behavior because he isn’t a politician. By his age, he should have learned how to fold a napkin, not pick his nose in public, be polite to his elders, be polite to people not at his exalted level, etc

Unfortunately, his boorish behavior can now lead to WWIII.

Ah, yes. This country was founded on avoiding confronting bad guys, right? The colonists should have just dutifully paid their tea tax with a polite smile and kept their mouths shut. :roll_eyes:
