Trump said, “If the US is forced to defend itself or its allies, we will have no choice but to totally destroy North Korea. Rocket Man is on a suicide mission for himself and his regime.”
The President crossed the line at his speech from unpresidential behavior to flat out crazy. The entire world is at risk because Trump is insisting on playing a game of back page tabloid chicken with a regime that could launch a missile strike in minutes and trigger a war on the Korean Peninsula.
Trump showed at the UN that he is insane. Calling his comments and behavior unpresidential does not go far enough. He is jeopardizing global security and trying to start a war with North Korea. Trump is going to get Americans killed. The only question is will America be able to remove this unfit president from office before he plunges the nation into a war which will make Iraq and Afghanistan look like child’s play?
The President is not well, and the American people must demand that he be stopped.
