It's real. The link is to the official Trump propoganda Whitehouse website.

I wonder what the damage control is going to be from Trump supporters. They'll probably come up with a way to blame it on Hilary.

Mr. Trump’s reference to anger and hostility followed comments from a North Korean official who described Vice President Mike Pence as “ignorant and stupid.”

Mr. Pence had said that relations with North Korea “will only end like the Libyan model ended if Kim Jong-un doesn’t make a deal.” He made the comments in an interview on Monday with Fox News.
So let me get this straight. The US makes a veiled threat to North Korea and they Trump acts all pissy when they get mad about it?

These clowns just make America look weaker and weaker.

Your government is. It's weak and divided. Trump is definitely a weakling.

Trump bottled it with a fellow madman. Hardly a surprise given Trump knows how the other half ticks. :roll:

Our government is divided by design. What specifically do you think is weak about it?

Never had a female leader in hundreds of years. That shows some fear of female power. That's a weakness. Especially given females make up almost half your population. Factoring in those who escaped Gilead to safe houses abroad.

We've had plenty of female leaders. We have many today. But yes, we've never had a woman President and it would be ignorant to claim that a big part of the reason why is not down to attitudes about women.

I'm not sure how that relates to having a weak government though. Would having one woman President for 4 years undo the weakness, or would she need to serve two terms? How does it work exactly?

In our case they made up for lost time and settled some gender scores. Closed the mines and put men to unwork in the home for two decades. A reverse Gilead. Expect a permanent scare/change to the national psyche and you won't be disappointed. No fear. :hehe:

A weak leader is a weak government. Trump makes you look weak, untrustworthy, unreliable, and frankly a laughing stock. His sycophants are flapping around him doing damage control instead of taking charge of the situation. The opposition is standing aside and doing nothing but lick their wounds. You look like you don't have your shit together.

In what way is your government strong right now?

Yep - this doesn't look remotely like strategy - planned or otherwise. It looks like a so called President out of his depth.
