President Trump Addresses The Nuclear Threat In Early Morning Tweets

On Tuesday, President Trump released a powerful statement against North Korea, promising to unleash a “fire and fury like the world has never seen” if the chubby dictator pushes us too far.

Sen. John McCain and his buddies condemned Trump’s remarks.

“I take exception to the President’s comments because you gotta be able to do what you say you’re gonna do,” McCain told KTAR radio. ” I don’t think that’s a way you attack an issue and a challenge like this.”

What should Trump say? Should he continue to wag his finger and say, “You better not!”? Should he draw a red line and allow the chubby dictator to walk all over it? We’re open to suggestions, McCain. Let’s hear them.

“I don’t know what he’s saying and I’ve long ago given up trying to interpret what he says,” McCain added. ” It’s not terrible but it’s kind of the classic Trump in that he overstates things.”

Is that really an overstatement though? Let’s say North Korea actually tried to hit the US mainland (or Guam). You REALLY don’t think the US would unleash the hounds? Come on, McCain.

You can find similar reactions across the internet.

However, on Wednesday morning, Trump stuck to his gut.

My first order as President was to renovate and modernize our nuclear arsenal. It is now far stronger and more powerful than ever before….

…Hopefully we will never have to use this power, but there will never be a time that we are not the most powerful nation in the world!

“There will never be a time that we are not the most powerful nation in the world.” I LOVE that. I WANT to hear the Commander-in-Chief say that. What else is he supposed to say? North Korea is threatening to “turn the US mainland into the theater of a nuclear war.” Trump’s statement was entirely appropriate.
