Trump then added. "They should have had me eight years ago, or somebody with my thought process."

There goes that Obama obsession again. Unhealthy.

A japanese friend just went to guam. she was going to cancel. I told her don't be silly, the target would be the UAS base, not beaches, restaurants and shopping malls. OMG, i just saw the map and noticed the whole island is littered with bases. She may be angry with me.

When we look back at Presidential Leadership during the Cuban Missile Crisis one would describe President Kennedy's leadership style and his words as sobering and resolved. For that he deserved the confidence of the American people and world. Kennedy won the day.  

When we look at the current North Korean crisis, we see President Trump's leadership style and his words for what they are, erratic, arrogant and vitriolic. For that he has won the confidence of neither the American people, nor the world. He will not carry the day.

Trump has sullied American honor, and made us and the world less safe.

I wonder if Trump realizes that the launches are supposed to be tests, or whether he will treat them as attacks

A member of Trump's Republican Party, Calvo insisted during the two men's call that "I have never felt more safe or so confident with you at the helm," according to his office.

There are sometimes in life, no matter how virtuous you have lived, that you need a handy bucket to vomit into.

"We're going to do a great job, don't worry about a thing," Trump then added. "They should have had me eight years ago, or somebody with my thought process."

In every aspect of Trumps actions he is obsessed, maniacally obsessed,  with Obama.  Thus the reference to eight years ago.  But the thing that really get's me is Trump referring to his "thought process".  Thought process!!??  The man has an attention span of a flea.  He has no thought process that goes beyond what he last saw on Fox and Friends.

Trump has warned the North that it would "truly regret" attacking the U.S., and that the U.S. military is "locked and loaded." Earlier, he threatened "fire and fury."

And should this all end in disaster with hundreds of thousands dead in North and South Korea and probably in Japan, no doubt Trump will stand before the cameras, first finger forming a circle with his thumb and declare "not one American on home soil has been killed".  And sadly,  the rednecks and fools who voted for this village idiot will cheer him on.

U.S. President Donald Trump on Saturday reassured Guam it was secure amid mounting regional tensions, vowing that American military forces "stand ready" to safeguard the U.S. Pacific island territory against a belligerent North Korea.

Military forces standing ready unless they happen to be transgender. You know; the people Trump also promised to protect.

Well, Japan only "condemns" missiles landing in their waters. Think about what other countries such as Russia would do if a missile landed within their territory. I think any U.S. president would pull the trigger if such a thing happened. Guam is U.S. territory, not an ally.
