Trump has never had a plan for dealing with North Korea

By Philip Bump July 5 at 10:34 AM

We forget sometimes that President Trump’s political rhetoric was forged not over years of policymaking or in discussions with experts on foreign policy and domestic issues, but in weekly phone interviews with “Fox and Friends.” Before he declared his candidacy, the real estate developer and TV personality would appear on the program every Monday morning, weighing in on the issues of the day as the hosts offered their now-familiar lack of criticism of his musings.

On April 8, 2013, for example, Trump called in to discuss a variety of subjects: his show, “Celebrity Apprentice,” WrestleMania — oh, and North Korea.
....

How did “Fox and Friends” reply to Trump’s argument? Well, the conversation quickly transitioned to Trump having been inaugurated into the pro wrestling Hall of Fame.

1. Trump is as useful as Dr. Zachary Smith on Lost In Space.

2. Hey, we'll have no more of that. Dr. Smith was respectable. NT

3. This Trump blather is the verbal equivalent of getting confused and wandering off

past the limo sitting right there as he deplanes:

***************
"China can fix this and needs to. Maybe China can fix this. If China doesn’t fix this, we will. China isn’t fixing this, but can."
***************

5. Or ISIS or the Taliban or any of his other pre election boasts. n/t

6. All Trump's white wing supporters were counting on him intimidating or bombing NKoreans into peace.

7. No. We never forget. Not ever.

"We forget sometimes that President Trump’s political rhetoric was forged not over years of policymaking or in discussions with experts on foreign policy..."

8. Watched a segment on Bloomberg with

Elliot Abrambson,he who was all in with George the lost Bush Regime,as a Foreign and Military advisor. Appears Donnie is about to follow the Council on Foreign Relations(bomb the suckers back to the stone age)policy.

How did that Iraq thinkee work out for these slugs,not very well as History has proved. The winners were the Oil Companies and the World was the looser.

9. Trump has never had a plan to do anything other than

promote and make more money for himself.

[MurrayDelph]

11. And that

was more of a goal than a plan.

10. Don't forget

Trump campaigned as the greatest deal maker and negotiator in the world.

[BigmanPigman]

12. He prides himself on this. Meanwhile his aides are having heart attacks over it.

He was elected for his great "instinct" and being able to read a given situation or person without prior prep work. This is OK when you are a businessman with your own business but now he has a much different job and that so-called skill is not what the "leader of the free world" should do when negotiating foreign policies. We are doomed.
