Sitting US president attempts to Twitter shame China. Twitter shame as foreign policy

As many dumb ass things as Donald has done, this is the most dangerous. And also reveals how powerless, and clueless he is regarding North Korea.

Donald Trump resorts to twitter shame as foreign policy. How outrageous is it that a POTUS thinks that shaming China over North Korea via Twitter is a good strategy?

Twitter shame?!?

I sit here and watch the news and nobody even mentions this. Nobody on the news mentions this because this is just a normal everyay occurance in the Donald Trump White House.

And when I think about that fact, I get very afraid.

It would be quite useful if our good friends in the popular media said that. Out loud. For everyone to hear. Trump's twitrums don't impress our allies or strike fear in the hearts of our adversaries. They just make him look weak, and hurt the nation's credibility.

Who's given up all military decision making "to his generals" and thinks posting bullshit "tough guy" crap on Twitter makes him strong, but without the self awareness to know that with his position that equates to foreign policy, well you get this shit show.
