You just knew this would happen. Trump is looking for something big to try and distract from the huge shit storm that’s growing over Russian interference in our elections and all the ties they have with Putin and his government.
Is it war with North Korea, with or without China?
Here’s what he told the FT today:

President Donald Trump said he will deal with the increasingly aggressive North Korean state with or without the help of the Chinese government.
“China has great influence over North Korea. And China will either decide to help us with North Korea, or they won’t,” Trump told the Financial Times in an exclusive Sunday interview.
“Well if China is not going to solve North Korea, we will. That is all I am telling you,”
And here’s the war mongering talk from the Deputy White House NSC adviser, for good measure. He says North Korea will be able to launch a nuclear armed missle soon that can reach the United States.
Definitely coordination going on here. They’re both on same page and message.
Deputy White House national security adviser KT McFarland told FT in a separate interview that North Korea poses a serious security risk to the country.
“There is a real possibility that North Korea will be able to hit the U.S. with a nuclear-armed missile by the end of the first Trump term,” McFarland said.
Don't be surprised if something happens, because he’s desperate and he’s flat out unfit to be President. The war mongering talk here is very strong.
