In spite of the overheated rhetoric, Mattis and McMaster aren't going to let Trump blow up the crazy fat kid's country unless they attack first.

Given that the last three US administrations have all taken rather hard-line approaches toward North Korea, I've been wondering: if another candidate (Hillary, Sanders, Cruz, Kasich, Rubio, Carson, or Jeb) had won in 2016, would that person have taken an approach any different from Trump's current approach, and would the outcome have been any different?

Sanders *maybe*, but the others? No

I agree with his.  Hillary could be a tough talker, I bet.

Reading the comments from the State Department presser on DPRK, Trump loyalists love the fiery rhetoric.

Incidentally, a Canadian pastor sentenced to a life term in 2015, has been released by the North Korean government after a high-level visit to North Korea by a Canadian official:

Justin Trudeau has now achieved more success in dealing with North Korea than Donald Trump.

Guam's congressional representative earlier called on Trump not to escalate the situation. I guess he doesn't care what they think.

The crazy fat kid should really worry more about what Mattis said, which is much more to the point than Trump's dance.  Mattis isn't f[inks]ing around and he doesn't make idle threats.

Trump just signed further sanctions and the ability of the Treasury Dept. to sanction individual NK leaders and the regime, to target anyone doing business with NK.

China has told its banks to stop doing business with NK. Trump has thanked China for this.

The Rocket Man Fat Kid won't be too happy about this.

The Crazy Fat Kid will probably kill his UN envoy if he sets foot again in the DPRK.......probably with a rocket.

Trump's new bromance with Xi isn't going to hurt.  China would literally deal harshly with the Crazy Fat Kid if he did a test nuke.
