DONALD TRUMP: Here's how I'd handle that 'madman' in North Korea

Colin Campbell

Real-estate tycoon Donald Trump said Wednesday that the US should pressure China into getting North Korea under control.

"It's something I've been talking about for a long time. You have this madman over there who probably would use it," Trump said during an interview on "Fox & Friends."

"And nobody talks to him, other than of course Dennis Rodman," he said. "That's about it."

Trump was referring to North Korea's supreme leader, Kim Jong Un, while addressing North Korea's announcement Tuesday night that it had successfully conducted a hydrogen-bomb test.

Many experts are skeptical that North Korea actually detonated a hydrogen bomb, citing the country's long history of misleading and false claims. But if it did, the incident would represent a significant escalation of the volatile country's nuclear arsenal.

Trump, the Republican presidential front-runner, argued on Fox News that China had the unique ability to curb North Korea's nuclear ambitions. China has long been a benefactor to North Korea and is its primary foreign ally, though the two countries have diverged over Pyongyang's development of nuclear weapons and disruptive regional policies.

"China has … total control over North Korea," Trump said. "And China should solve that problem. And if they don't solve the problem, we should make trade very difficult for China.

"We are holding China up," he added. "They're taking so much money. They're draining our country, and they're toying with us with North Korea. China should do it. They say they can't, they 'don't have that power.' They're toying with our politicians, who don't know what they're doing."

“After a couple of months, let China know that all parties are open to turning off the programs IF the NorK nukes go away AND the NorK midget tyrant is replaced with a Chinese style fascist government.

Chinese troops would probably be in Pyongyang within 6-months to “restore the revolution”.”

Excellent advice. Hope Trump’s people read your comment here.

Oh, we haven’t been putting pressure on China to take of these things. Who do you think has been hold Kim back?

Trump making a statement like this indicates just how little he understands foreign policy.

I am not defending Obama at all, but we have been doing this dance with North Korea since the 1950s.

[Vermont Lt]

That strategy works if you have a military that could back you up.

Do some research on the size of our standing army and navy.

Our economy is on the brink...just ask the folks who are working two jobs.

All of this noise out in the news is covering up one big thing: We are broke. We are as broke at the USSR. We cannot afford to project power the way we could in 1986.

So, going around talking tough when the other guys on the block know you cannot back it up, usually ends up with you getting your assed kicked.

Well, that clears up the smear reports that Trump was drooling over the little madman.

Not for the MSM - they like the lie better... that's what they'll run with.

LOL, Let’s just say OVER gifted. I have 2 sisters, and they sure didn’t get handed much.

[mkjessup]

Well being a gentleman, I’ll just accept your word for that, although if I were Lazamataz, well - his reputation precedes him, lol

[mkjessup]

A community organizer hasn't got a clue, Obama couldn't run a McDonald's! Obama would count the increase in people coming to his store as "proving" his success when he GAVE AWAY hamburgers instead of selling them. He would then give a speech at the local Chamber of Commerce explaining the increased numbers of "customers" was undeniable proof his system works.

Funny you should mention that. I've read many times that Barky claimed to have worked in a Baskin-Robbins in Honolulu during his teen years and freely admitted giving away the store products to his friends and home boys.

Now, 50+ years later, he's giving away everything we've got to his terrorist friends and homo boys.

I weighed 117 lbs in this pic, not bad for a 65 year old woman, the car is a 25 year old Vette. Couldn't find my one with my gun, I'm on a new lap top and not all the photos have been moved over.

[mkjessup]

What a great picture Gail!!

I expect you’ll be hearing from Laz (LOL) but I’m not gonna ping him! :)

(NICE car! ;)

Our neighbor now owns it. At 75 hubby was not driving it much as he could not get in and out of it well. And my back won’t take the bumpy ride. They look nice but drive rough, especially on Memphis roads that never get fixed.
