Trump's demented words of violence and death

This looks like loony bin material, not civics.

What is tRump going to do when North Korea and Iran ignore his empty toothless threats.

Frank, seriously, I'd expect this goofy "tRump" nonsense from somebody of lower intelligence than you. Does it make you feel better to do this? It just seems so childish.

You almost had a great thread title there. I'd have gone with "Trump's demented declamation of violence and death."

You don't seem to realize my thread title was quoting Trump's tweet. So I was constrained by the words he used, not free-styling memorable thread titles for the sake of it.

Didn't he say something similar to the North Koreans which resulted in ending up with them at the negotiation table?

. . . and nothing has resulted from negotiation table except the North Koreans gain the respectability and prestige of negotiating with international powers, and an end to joint operations between USA and South Korea.

Ah, so, no answer - just doubling down on the childishness. I honestly thought better of you.

More childishness.

My crystal ball is in the shop for repairs.

To be specific Trump declared that he'd unleash "fire and fury" and "totally destroy" the country mentioning "total decimation" and even threatened Kim Jong-un with the same fate as Muammar Gaddafi if the North Korean leader "doesn't make a deal."

. . . and apparently no deal?

What does Trump do now? Armageddon?

Yeah, they ended up at the negotiating table, but obviously not because of Trumps threats, they ended up there because that's what they wanted in the first place. And what was negotiated. Trump, under Putins orders, ended the joint military exrcises with S. Korea, and N. Korea didn't give up anything. I guess that's what you call the art of the deal!

More childishness.

You do not need a crystal ball to realize tRump cannot do anything.

Satellite images show North Korea has begun dismantling key test site

Washington (CNN)
New images published Monday by the prominent monitoring group 38 North indicate North Korea has begun dismantling key facilities at the Sohae Satellite Launching Station -- a move analysts say represents "an important first step towards fulfilling a commitment" made by Kim Jong Un during his summit with President Donald Trump in Singapore.

An analysis of the commercial satellite imagery captured between July 20 and July 22 shows that North Korea has started disassembling parts of its main satellite launch station -- a site that is believed to have played an important role in the development of Pyongyang's intercontinental ballistic missile program.

"Since these facilities are believed to have played an important role in the development of technologies for the North's intercontinental ballistic missile program, these efforts represent a significant confidence-building measure on the part of North Korea," according to 38 North's Joseph Bermudez Jr.

"Most notably, these include the rail-mounted processing building -- where space launch vehicles are assembled before moving them to the launchpad -- and the nearby rocket engine test stand used to develop liquid-fuel engines for ballistic missiles and space launch vehicles."

You were saying?

Nor do I need a crystal ball to see how childish you can be.

Meanwhile, as I posted in the other thread, it appears the North Koreans are doing some dismantling.

To be more precise, you quoted what POTUS said about Ruhani's (or however it's spelled) threats (i.e., he characterized Ruhani's "Mother of All Wars" threat as "demented words of violence and death").

Laura Ingraham offered the interesting speculation that it was not really an off-the-cuff tantrum by POTUS, but had been prepared in advance along with Pompeo's provocative remarks over the weekend and RedEye President Bolton's follow-up to the POTUS tweet.
