criticizing a man as insecure as Trump about this just doesn't seem like the smartest move

Exhibit A as to why this clown has no business being POTUS

that's cool and all, but the reality is that he is POTUS

so...?

how about criticizing Trump for making a dumb arse comment in the first place?

it's one thing when you pop off about the ACA or whatever, it's something else when it's a potential international incident. How some of you people continue to gloss over and/or defend (or worse, blame the media!) it is mind boggling.

Other than, I suppose, opening himself to criticism from people like you, tell me what you think Trump's statement did to further inflame this situation. Do you really think, but for his statement, N Korea would have done something different or something that would have diffused things?

like i said a few days ago, proportion matters

was Trump's comment necessary? no. he shouldn't have said it

if something happens, will that comment actually mean anything? no

but the partisan, anti-Trump media has created this narrative like it's going to be equally Trump's fault or maybe even more his fault than anyone else's if this goes to war. they're almost egging on an incident so they can blame Trump. it's fricking crazy on multiple angles

Today's Enemedia/MSM anti Trump talking point, "Trump's Red Line Failure"

It's simply a clear tell of how butt hurt the media remains from Obama suffering political wounds from his red line rhetoric.

quote:

my argument is that Trump draws a line, NK passes line, and instead of starting war, Trump succumbs to reason (for whatever reason) and backs down, then he should not be criticized unless you actually want war

thank you

Why would someone criticize Trump for doing what they want him to do?

there could have very easily been an incident that resulted from that comment (and his follow up comments), in which case he would share the blame

as of now it appears that's not going to happen, although if you think the POTUS doesn't bear any responsibility in the direction these things typically go then i don't know what to tell you

it sounds like you're upset the media is holding the POTUS to a higher standard than a 2 bit dictator. He absolutely should be held to a higher standard. Everybody knows what a frick KJU is.

...are you giving Trump credit for diplomacy here?

the criticism of tPOTUS is for the comments themselves

that the red line was crossed with no action leads to criticism of Trump fans/Obama haters who were up in arms then and defend it now.
