Trump on North Korea: 'Only one thing will work'

President Donald Trump tweeted Saturday that 25 years of agreements with North Korea have failed, "making fools" of US negotiators.

Then he added cryptically that "only one thing will work."

In a pair of Tweets sent Saturday afternoon, Trump said that past agreements with North Korea have all been violated.


"Presidents and their administrations have been talking to North Korea for 25 years, agreements made and massive amounts of money paid ... hasn't worked, agreements violated before the ink was dry, makings fools of U.S. negotiators," Trump wrote. "Sorry, but only one thing will work!"

Reached for comment on Trump's tweet, White House press secretary Sarah Sanders confirmed that all options are still on the table and that she had nothing further to add at this time.

My interpretation - Mueller is ready to blow the lid off.

Trump. Mueller brings charges and Trump starts a war with NK. Mueller doesn't bring charges and Trump doesn't nuke NK.

When he feels the heat rising, he triggers a conflict believing congress won't remove him during a crisis.

to throttle down the madman. The unnerving thing is that we can't know for sure. Trust is hard to come by these days.
