The little fat boy continues to taunt us and threaten to send missiles to strike the United States. So when President Trump replies in a threatening way, all these idiot lawmakers go bananas. President Trump is trying to clean up the mess and non-action caused by Barack Obama and George W. Bush.

His fury and power comments are not necessarily referring to a nuclear strike. Do you recall “shock and awe”? I believe that’s what he is referring to. Unfortunately, there will be a great many deaths should this happen. But as cruel as it may sound, better them than us.
