President Trump sent a tweet Friday evening claiming that North Korea "disrespected" China's wishes with its latest ballistic missile test.
Trump called the missile test unsuccessful in his tweet that was aimed at putting distance between Pyongyang and Beijing, while praising Chinese President Xi Jinping as "highly respected."
North Korea launched a ballistic missile around 5:30 a.m. local time from near the Pukchang airfield in central North Korea, U.S. and South Korean military officials said.
U.S. Pacific Command said the missile did not leave North Korean territory, while South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff reportedly said that the test "failed."

Donald is stirring the pot, putting one quasi enemy face to face with another more blatant enemy.
“Did you hear what he just said about you and the Chinese Government?”
Already up.....
Donald’s a sly one ain’t he.
Kim dissed the whole freakin’ world, really.
I know you folks are tired of winning. If he wins this one we can start losing-won’t matter.
Perfect. I wanna have Donald’s baby.
LOL LOL. That you Caitlin?
No. I have better....eyes.
Words have meanings. Disrespect is not a good think in Asian culture.
Heh heh. Good one ;)
Yeah, because the Chinese aren’t sophisticated enough to keep from taking the bait.
This is very crafty. “Disrespect” and “losing face” is a gigantic issue in Chinese/Asian cultures, and Trump has now put the entire world on notice that China’s Xi is “losing face” before North Korea’s provocations.
Despite libtards who think Trump doesn’t know what he is doing, this shows (yet again) that he does. This puts enormous useful pressure on China to squeeze N. Korea.
We’ll see. When it comes to “losing face” in this manner, Xi is likely to have less and less patience with North Korea.
Teh Donald is absolutely a master manipulator. I’m enjoying his displays as a practicing amateur.
Just think. If one of those Nork Scientists screws up and a Missile test fires goes North instead of East, it’s game over...
North Korea’s pot bellied bully is probably squealing like a stuck pig when his third missile in a row went pfffft! Like such pigs, he has thin skin and if he had a nuclear button, he would be would be hammering it like a mad man.
There is only one answer to this Korean menace. He needs a special shipment of Mother.
Yes. In the Orient it’s a terrible thing to cause someone to “losd face”. The NorKs really dissed Xi Jinping by this latest fizzled test.
“...this latest fizzled test.”
And - it probably doesn’t him Kim’s “cause” by executing the rocket experts every time there is another failure...
There’s a good thought. How long until he “runs out” of rocket scientists?
