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 nuclear crisis.
Trump’s derisive description of Kim Jong Un as “Rocket Man” on “a suicide mission” and his threat to “totally destroy” North Korea were not in a speech draft that several senior officials reviewed and vetted Monday, the day before Trump gave his first address to the U.N. General Assembly, two U.S. officials said.
Some of Trump’s top aides, including national security advisor H.R. McMaster, had argued for months against making the attacks on North Korea’s leader personal, warning it could backfire.
But Trump, who relishes belittling his rivals and enemies with crude nicknames, felt compelled to make a dramatic splash in the global forum.
Some advisors now worry that the escalating war of words has pushed the impasse with North Korea into a new and dangerous phase that threatens to derail the months-long effort to squeeze Pyongyang’s economy through sanctions to force Kim to the negotiating table....

Yeah....no. Not interested.
I'm not trying to find out how well N. Korea's ICBMs work because we know that their H-bombs work just fine.
Y'all keep playing. Trump has been playing with house money his whole life. The concept of loss is not something he fully graps. The military is just another play toy for him and his ego.
Trump doesn't give a ? about the possibility of N. Korea nuking Tokyo or Seoul... that's like 10-15 million people wiped off the planet if a H-Bomb hits those cities.
The population of Tokyo is about 10 million and Seoul's is about 10.3.
Im kinda worried that the mainland could get hit, but i definitely wouldn't be a tourist in Japan nor South Korea.

Kinda stupid ? is this?
This is like playing roulette with a fully loaded gun. They don't even have to hit us with anything direct. They got EMPs that will ? us up.
Y'all keep thinking NK bluffing but they are ready to go and Trump stupid ass taking the bait.
He just publicly humiliated Kim and they do not take being shamed lightly.
Trump need to shut the ? up and let those with some kind of intelligence handle this. -
the thing is...trump talks a big game an most dont challange him on his words.
i hate people like that and hate people who listen an afraid to challange him.
every and any one who did challange him to the point of no return....he backed down from an changed the subject or gave praise to distract the person just took his ? and distract those who are watching and listening. -

Former White House staffer and self-styled counterterrorism expert Sebastian Gorka has joined a secretive pro-Trump super PAC whose leaders have pushed conspiracy theories about a murdered Democratic National Committee staffer and “Pizzagate.”
Gorka left the White House in late August, disputing the administration’s claim that he was fired. Axios first reported Tuesday on MAGA Coalition hiring Gorka, and the Daily Beast did a deep dive on the group’s leadership later in the day.
MAGA Coalition asserted in an late August FEC filing that it “exists to further the political influence of ‘America First’ policies; engineered to put the freedom, sovereignty and economic prosperity policies for the American voters into practice in our government.”
The group’s known staff is extremely small, but Gorka’s hiring as its “chief strategist” shines a bright light on its habit of promoting extreme conspiracy theories.
Adam Gingrich, the group’s president, has posed questions like “If Seth Rich was African-American, would the DC police get away with hiding body cam and other video footage?” and “Who murdered Seth Rich?” on his Twitter account, according to the Daily Beast. Gingrich he made his tweets private after the publication reached out to him.
Rich was a DNC staffer who died after what police say was a botched robbery. Conspiracy theorists assert he played a hand in passing Democratic operatives’ emails to WikiLeaks, and that his death was orchestrated as revenge. Rich’s family has pled with conspiracy theorists to stop propagating their baseless claims.
In a September filing, MAGA Coalition changed its listed headquarters to a house in Tequesta, Florida. The Daily Beast reported that house belongs to John Kreuger, who claimed to have resigned as the group’s COO and vice president in the same filing, and his wife Ann Vandersteel.
Vandersteel, like Gingrich, has pushed Seth Rich conspiracies, as well as the so-called “Pizzagate” conspiracy. Pizzagate believers assert that Comet Ping Pong, a pizza joint in Washington, D.C., is actually a hub in a major child trafficking ring in which the Clintons play a role.
Gingrich has appeared with Vandersteel on YourVoice Radio, the internet broadcast of the famously toothy pro-Trump prognosticator Bill Mitchell, the Daily Beast pointed out.
Carrie Lockhart, who also claimed to have resigned from MAGA Coalition in the September filing despite being listed as its treasurer in the same document, also works for YourVoice and is similarly conspiratorial, the Daily Beast reported.
A spokesperson for MAGA Coalition, Tricia Cunningham, defended the theories to the publication.
“As far as Pizzagate, I’ve traveled from Pennsylvania to Washington D.C., and human trafficking is a huge deal,” she said. “So there’s a lot of questions that need to be raised.”
Axios reported that Gorka would appear with former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin Thursday in a rally for Senate candidate Roy Moore. It will be a joint rally with the Steve Bannon-aligned group Great America Alliance. -

North Korea Says Attack on U.S. Is ‘Inevitable’
https://politicalwire.com/2017/09/23/north-korea-says-attack-u-s-inevitable/
September 23, 2017 at 3:54 pm EDT. By Taegan Goddard
“North Korea’s foreign minister says that it is inevitable that missiles from his country will hit the United States after the American military flew bombers further north of the demilitarised zone than any American military plane in the 21st century, and after a week in which Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un exchanged personal insults,” the Independent reports. -

Just a "what if" question.........
Trump was praising Kim Jong Un just last year. What if Trump's and Kim's mutual buddy that flew to North Korea at the beginning of his Presidency had the sole purpose of informing Kim Jong Un that it would be beneficial to both Trump and Kim if they played this "fake war" game with one another?
Donald Trump's and Kim Jong Un's mutual buddy is...........
