He sounds like he's channeling the same crazy that fuels the North Korean government. Terrible speech. I am embarassed for my nation.

Seemed fine to me. America First, we will attack North Korea if we or our allies are threatened...

Speech was fine, except for the Rocket Man thing

Did we watch the same speech?

I thought he was on point and restrained? Even got a few cheers

It sounds like you made up your mind a-priori

Yeah sure, very brave to threat to use all your nuclear power to destroy a country. Courage would be he had said "I'm going to invade North Korea by myself" or something

Typical Trump. I hope people aren't expecting him to sound like President Eisenhower anytime soon. That's the definition of insanity.

Him referring to Kim Jong Un as "Rocket Man" was embarrassing, but that's par for the course.

Must have been a good speech given the lack of replies with OMGZ so far.  Smiley

It was the typical Trump speech.

Lots of bluster, but no coherent strategy. The world will continue to do what they have done the last 8 months and ignore him.

He has no vision for the future.
I'm already preparing the post-Trump era.

He is calling out things that need to be called out. Sure SJWs and some diplomats may not like it but so be it. NK and Iran are challenges that the UN should take head on and not kick the can on for another twenty years. Also, UN reform and USNC enlargement should be put into place. Trump rightfully paid attention to those items.

I love the use of the phrase "Rocketman." This kind of bravado is a welcome addition to politics.

Terrible.
His "rocket man" label is childish, but then again trump is childish.
His entire Iran segment was embarrassing. The Iran treaty was an agreement between Iran and most of the world powers. It was not just a USA (Obama) deal with Iran. The other nations involved were there, through all the discussions and meetings. Their judgment and approval should not just be ignored as nothing (which is what trump is doing/saying).

It's really a typical Trump speech: Make bold claims then just do nothing about it.

Remember when he pressed the EU to stop ''ripping off'' American trade? Nothing happened afterwards.

Remember when he demanded NATO pay their fair share? Nobody did and nothing happened

Remember when he demanded Canada and Mexico stop ''ripping off'' American companies through NAFTA? Nothing happened and NAFTA was never re-written.

Remember when he claimed China is ''ripping'' us off through currency manipulation? Nothing happened and he even cowardly declined to call them a currency manipulator.

Trump supporters are such gullible idiots. He gives them another speech with all the bluster of a man with a micropenis and they salivate like the troglodyte's that they are while nothing ever actually get's done.
He's doing a ton of work on trade as we speak? NAFTA is in the process of being re-worked. You ought to try reading the news.

"The problem in Venezuela is not that socialism has been poorly implemented, but that socialism has been faithfully implemented,”

I liked this line.

I'm waiting for Kim to call Trump "Pumpkinhead" in response.

Yawn, he isn't doing anything (nor does he have to in all fairness, his fan base never follow up anyway), Canada and Mexico are laughing at this idiot and making outrageous demands, like America should ban RTW laws, just to play with Trump. Keep trolling to cope

Everyone on this forum knows who the real troll is.
