Based on the organization of today’s press briefing, mixing a few stray references (Trump) to NK with hard hitting critique of congress (holding up military funding NOW) and then having Mattis speak “a few sentences” and then at the very close saying (Trump) “We’ll deal with it” re NK, there’s no real way the networks can avoid broadcasting the whole press conference with insults to Dems intact. They’d have to chop 4 second sound bites into spam to isolate the news that the US viewers are anxious to hear. Once again, well played.
“We’ll deal with it”.....aka....none of your business what we’re doing/planning...
I agree...If Trump had of come out and declared in anger “ the provocations of NK”... and we are going to take x and y action, that plays into NK’s hand.
But to just walk out, say to the American public, “ I am aware that NK launched a missle,and we will deal with it...” and then go on to politics as usual, it leaves NK with more questions than answers about what our GREAT President is going to do.....
At some point I expect President Trump to just take action and come out and tell us what he did!! It will take NK off guard and BOOM!!!!! Mission accomplished.
