Trump says 'we will handle' North Korea after launch

Source: Yahoo News



Olivier KnoxChief Washington Correspondent, Yahoo News•November 28, 2017

WASHINGTON — President Trump promised Tuesday that the United States “will handle” North Korea after the regime of Kim Jong Un carried out its latest intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) test in defiance of escalating international pressure. Trump also vowed to continue his efforts to tighten the global diplomatic and economic vise on Pyongyang.

“We will take care of that situation,” Trump told reporters as he met with Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Speaker Paul Ryan. “It is a situation that we will handle.”

The president did not specify what that might mean.

Defense Secretary James Mattis, sitting near the president, said that the ICBM fired Tuesday “went higher, frankly, than any previous shot they’ve taken” and told reporters that the launch showed that North Korea was determined to build missiles “that could threaten everywhere in the world, basically.”

he knows that in this case it isnt just over his head, but it hurts his head when he thinks about it.

He will let the generals decide, maybe Tillerson and Mattis, and then if anything at ALL goes wrong, he will completely blame them.

He has NEVER done anything else in his life.

Do his supporters understand why he has never gone public with a company?

And yes, he didn't take a loss. He paid himself a nice salary for doing nothing. But he didn't like the extra scrutiny that comes with a public ownership, so he never did it again.

who was offered to sell his business to a bigger group.

The bigger group said he would have to "work" and answer to them for a couple years as part of the deal.

He turned it down, LIED to everybody and said he turned it down because he feared what would happen to the employees, could lose their jobs, etc.

Problem is because of the type of business they would NEVER lose their job, very hard to replace, and the reason this asshole didnt go thru with it is he is used to doing NOTHING and answering to NOBODY.

Never trust one of them, NEVER.
