"Aides warned Trump not to attack North Korea in UN speech" (Did he listen?)

[SteveG]

All that talk about being surrounded by competent, adult, rational advisors is just so much hooey. "The Generals" everyone are counting on are just standing there and saluting while he drags us into some unbelievable mess.

Trump tells UN that US is prepared to 'totally destroy' North Korea
Trump tells UN that US is prepared to 'totally destroy' North Korea

President Trump was repeatedly warned by aides not to personally attack the North Korean leader during his blustery “Rocket Man” speech at the UN General Assembly, a report said Friday.

Trump threatened to “totally destroy” the nuclear-armed country during Tuesday’s speech and said “Rocket Man” Kim Jong Un is on a “suicide mission.”

The Los Angeles Times said those remarks were not included in a draft of the speech the was vetted by several senior officials on Monday.

Chief of Staff John Kelly, who has tried to reign in Trump’s more bellicose positions, could be seen burying his face into his hand as Trump made the remarks.

A CIA psychological profile of Kim comes to the conclusion that the young leader has a massive ego and reacts harshly and sometimes lethally to insults and perceived slights, the LA Times noted.

(and The Post apologizes for having people who can't spell 'rein' correctly)

He's still at it in Alabama today. His Trumpsters cheered when he called the North Korean leader "Rocket Man" again.

Would reverse physiology work on Donnie Dotard? Tell him can say it and he won't?

I think ignoring him would work.

If he tries anything, the generals will muss his hair and that will distract him.

He's as loose a cannon as Rocket Man.

Rocket Man and Dotard Donald.

Separated at birth, apparently.

The world might end if Kim laughs at Dotard for losing the popular vote.

Why does Kim and 45 clap when they come on stage? Clapping for themselves or starting the clapping for the audience to follow?

Did you see the book assembled of 45's Tweets? It is huge. On CNN Special last night.

It's amazing to me that people show up at those events.

Maybe they just want to see the world's greatest living example of the Dunning–Kruger effect.
