Is Trump pumping the brakes on North Korea situation?

There are two stories that together look like he/they are backing away from the pressure on North Korea. Mind you, both make them look like complete MORONS at best.

What do you think?

Why would he call Kim Jong Un a "gentleman"?
Trump thinks Kim Jong Un and his dad are the same long-reigning "gentleman."

Trump also made two references in the interview to “this gentleman” in North Korea, who he said had “outplayed” both Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. The late North Korean ruler Kim Jong Il died in 2011. His son, Kim Jong Un, is the country’s current ruler.


Now, it turns out, the ARMADA was never even headed towards the Korean Peninsula

Trump rattles seaborne saber at North Korea, but his fleet was in WRONG OCEAN headed the WRONG WAY!

Not looking good for tough guy trump.

Is this the gang that can't shoot straight?

First the Yemen debacle, then the concrete bombing at the airbase where the Russians and Syrians knew beforehand and evacuated, and now the wrong-way Corrigan armada?

WTF is going on?
