In a completely inept response, North Korea launched an ICBM, and all the president could say was we will take care of it, and it is a situation we will handle.

Trump said, “I will only tell you we will take care of it. We have Gen. Mattis in the room with us, and we’ve had a long discussion on it. It is a situation that we will handle.”
Experts believe that North Korea can now fire a missile that could reach New York or Washington, D.C. and all Trump can say is that we will handle it. Does the President understand what is going on around him? Does he have the mental capacity to grasp the danger to the world that this threat poses?
When people question Trump’s mental state, responses like this one are exactly what they are talking about. The President Of The United States needs to project strength and have a plan in moments like these. This isn’t an episode of The Apprentice. Trump can’t bluff his way through issues of war and peace.
We’ll handle it is the kind of answer that an in over his head idiot gives when he doesn’t understand the issue and has no intention of doing anything about it.
There is something seriously wrong with Donald Trump. His answer is more proof that he is not fit to be president.
