Guam: Residents of island threatened by North Korea in panic and don't trust Donald Trump'A lot of people have no confidence that the White House will do the right thing under the circumstances'
Graces Garces Bordallo, Cathy Bussewitz 2 hours ago
Residents of the tiny Pacific island of Guam say they're afraid of being caught in the middle of escalating tensions between the US and North Korea after Pyongyang announced it was examining plans for attacking the strategically important US territory.
Though local officials downplayed any threat, people who live and work on the island, which serves as a launching pad for the US military, said Wednesday they could no longer shrug off the idea of being a potential target.
"I'm a little worried, a little panicked. Is this really going to happen?" said Cecil Chugrad, a 37-year-old bus driver for a tour bus company in Guam. "If it's just me, I don't mind, but I have to worry about my son. I feel like moving (out of Guam) now."

Poor guy. Even if nothing happens, I bet tour bus business is going to be very slow for a while.

Trump only cares about Trump.
People on Guam are right to be very, very concerned. Trump don't care!

from here on the east coast. If I lived on Guam I might feel a little less calm about it. History has too many examples of how wars were started by bullshit in the hands of nutjobs.
