President-elect Donald Trump contended Monday night that North Korea would not be able to develop a nuclear weapon capable of reaching the United States, despite its claims to the contrary, and berated China for not doing enough to help stop the rogue state's weapons program.

Trump's declarations on Twitter came after North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said in a New Year's address that the country had reached the “final stages” of testing its first intercontinental ballistic missile that could reach the United States.

“It won't happen!” Trump tweeted.

North Korea just stated that it is in the final stages of developing a nuclear weapon capable of reaching parts of the U.S. It won't happen!

The president-elect — who spent Monday with advisers at Trump Tower in New York following his holiday respite in Florida — did not specify what, if anything, the United States might do under his command to stop North Korea from developing the missile.

1. He's a slow learner.

When they detonate a suitcase bomb in Palm Beach or
Disney World maybe Trump will start paying attention.

2. Trump, is a loose cannon with this tweets and crap. He can't seem to understand how

his tweets are edging on conflicts, which lead me to believe he's just a hip shooter with no logical strategies, much as in his rallies ... and will continue.

5. I'm afraid this guy and his henchmen are working hard to drag this country back to the

crap we endured in the 40's and 50's.

6. Without a doubt

even further back in history than that.

With the dick and w I was worried about the raping of our country, tRump is way worse then these two ever was. In his mind he has a mandate to turn the world upside down especially for the people of color
As it is today We. Are. Truly. Fucked.
