Everybody knows Trump lies his ass off every single day-- everybody, that is, except for his 2-digit IQ supporters strung out on pharmaceuticalsl... about a third of the country's voters. Thanks largely to hate talk radio and Fox, they believe everything he says. Most of what he says barely matters; it's just hot air, empty braggadocio and utter nonsense for his dumbed down, early manipulated base-- like this random chimp talk from early yesterday morning:He's obsessed with Fear, Bob Woodward's book, now a #1 best seller, thanks-- at least in part-- to Trump bleating and whining about it so obsessively. Yes, he'll write (obviously find someone to write) the "real book."But sometimes his lies do matter and his moron supporters don't-- like in instances of national security. During his TV interviews over the weekend, Woodward got to the heart of the real problem with his bullshit and gas-lighting: "I’ve never seen an instance when the President is so detached from the reality of what’s going on. This has not been treated seriously enough. Some of the things Trump did and does jeopardize the real national security... People better wake up to what's going on." During the CBS interview about the book-- which will hit the stores today-- Woodward talked about what he contends was the most dangerous moment of Trump's nuclear standoff with North Korea.
"He drafts a tweet saying 'We are going to pull our dependents from South Korea-- family members of the 28,000 people there,'" Woodward said on "CBS Sunday Morning," referring to families of US troops stationed on the Korean peninsula.The tweet never was sent because of a back-channel message from the North Koreans that they would view it as a sign the US was preparing to attack, according to CBS."At that moment there was a sense of profound alarm in the Pentagon leadership that, 'My God, one tweet and we have reliable information that the North Koreans are going to read this as 'an attack is imminent.'"...Kim recently expressed his "unwavering faith" in Trump, and the US president on Sunday praised the North Korean for staging a huge military parade in Pyongyang without the customary display of nuclear missiles.But the earlier brinkmanship between the two nuclear-armed states-- including Trump's threat September 19, 2017 to "totally destroy North Korea"-- had sent tensions soaring.In his book, Woodward portrays the US president as uninformed and impulsive to the point of recklessness, with White Houses aides at times removing documents from his desk to keep him from taking rash actions.
The dotard is so obsessed with keeping his base persuaded that he's single-handedly saved America from Korean nuclear annihilation that he keeps lying about his "accomplishments" in Singapore. Kim is obviously manipulating him as easily as he manipulates the imbeciles who want to believe him in Mississippi.Monday, NBC reported that, despite what Trump says in his self-glorificating tweets, North Korea is still building nukes-- and U.S. government is talking it seriously even if the senile coot in the White House isn't. Courtney Kube reported that as Señor Trumpanzee "issues a steady stream of praise for Kim Jong Un in interviews and on Twitter, a steady stream of evidence that North Korea is still making nuclear weapons has pushed his administration to take a much more aggressive stance toward Pyongyang."
The newest intelligence shows Kim's regime has escalated efforts to conceal its nuclear activity, according to three senior U.S. officials. During the three months since the historic Singapore summit and Trump's proclamation that North Korea intends to denuclearize, North Korea has built structures to obscure the entrance to at least one warhead storage facility, according to the officials.The U.S. has also observed North Korean workers moving warheads out of the facility, the officials said, though they would not speculate on where the warheads went....U.S. intelligence assesses North Korea could produce five to eight new nuclear weapons in 2018, according to three current and former senior U.S. officials. That pace is virtually identical to their assessment of the regime's production of about six per year prior to the Trump-Kim summit....The Trump administration has launched what it calls a "maximum pressure" campaign against North Korea in response.Public rhetoric, meanwhile, has a different tone. After his June meeting with Kim in Singapore Trump said, "There is no longer a Nuclear Threat from North Korea."Trump tweeted a "thank you" to Kim on Thursday for proclaiming his "unwavering faith" after a South Korean official reported Kim wanted to denuclearize before the end of Trump's first term. The South Korean official said Kim emphasized "that he has never said anything negative about President Trump.""We will get it done together!," tweeted Trump.Friday morning, Fox News aired a taped interview with Trump in which he insisted, "Kim Jong un said very nice things. He said we want to get denuclearization during the Trump administration."On Sunday, North Korea held its annual Foundation Day military parade to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the founding of the nation on Sept. 9. In past years, the Kim regime has used the parade to show off missiles and new technology.This year, however, North Korea did not display any ICBMs. On Twitter, President Trump said “experts” were heralding the absence as a sign of the Kim regime’s “commitment to denuclearization.” He thanked Kim and called the lack of missiles a “very positive statement.”“We will both prove everyone wrong! There is nothing like good dialogue from two people that like each other!”
The government insists Trump is personally directing all their push-back against North Korea. I guess that sounds better than what it actually is. Is there a simple English word that Trump supporters would understand for coup d'état ? Maybe "Deep State?"
