Story Update:
President Donald Trump on Thursday ramped up his rhetoric on North Korea again, saying his warning of bringing "fire and fury" on the isolated nation may not have gone far enough.
"If anything, maybe that statement wasn't tough enough," he told reporters at his New Jersey golf club.
When asked what could be tougher than "fire and fury," the president responded: "we'll see." He also did not comment on whether the U.S. is considering a pre-emptive strike on North Korea.

(7,581 posts)Now he is saying things will happen to North Korea like they have never thought possible.
He is a crazy man. He sounds really angry. He hates that he is being mocked on the world stage. Now he is threatening China and trade. Folks, go buy rice and beans.
Threatening North Korea with nukes. Absolutely.

He'll let China "screw American workers and companies" - HIS CAMPAIGN THEME - if they settle Kim down?
This guy considers himself "the best negotiator." Looks like China is just a wee bit "better" at the game.
Insane!

(11,156 posts)"The people of this country should be very comfortable, and I will tell you this: If North Korea does anything in terms of even thinking about attack, of anybody that we love or we represent or our allies or us, they can be very, very nervous," Trump said. "I'll tell you why, and they should be very nervous. Because things will happen to them like they never thought possible."
WTF?

(6,241 posts)and you can start cribbing from Daenerys Targaryen. "Fire and fury" would certainly fit there. Outside of Westeros, however, it's more of the same BS that's meant to please his base. Not helpful when you're trying to prevent a war.
"Bitch, I might" seems to be Lil' Kim's way of doing things.
