On North Korea – Trump Could Not Be Handling It Any Worse

It's Like He's Trying to Be the Most Incompetent President Ever After Already Being the Most Ignorant, Arrogant and Uninformed One Ever

Exactly what North Korea is up to is impossible to discern. There is no strategic or tactical benefit for them to attack the United States. Such a move would be irrational to the nth degree. The proper response of the United States should be to privately, and we mean very privately convey to the North Koreans that we will leave them alone, we will talk with them at any time and if they make any physical attack on the United States or its allies we will obliterate their leaders.

But Trumpie seems incapable of common sense. Instead he is saying things that nobody takes seriously, and completely undermining any credibility he has on the subject. To wit:

1. Donnie continually threatens North Korea with a pre-emptive military strike. Bad idea. First of all no one believes him and second of all, if North Korea believes him that would give them the only reason to strike first. Lose – Lose.

2. Trumpster is threatening to cut off trade to any country that trades with North Korea. This means China, but such a move is impossible.

3. Trump is insulting our ally, South Korea and threatening to end a trade agreement with them. How exactly does that help?

For the next several decades the Trump Korean policy will be classic textbook material on what not to do in a situation like this.
