President Trump said Thursday his warning that the U.S. would meet North Korea with "fire and fury" may not have been tough enough.
"They've been doing this to our country for a long time, for many years, and it's about time someone stuck for the people of this country and for the people of other countries," he said in Bedminster, N.J., in response to criticisms of his comments this week, according to a pool report. "If anything, maybe that statement wasn't tough enough."
The president also urged the rogue regime to "get their act together," and said the U.S. military backed his statements "100 percent."
Trump issued a stern warning to North Korea on Tuesday, days after the U.N. Security Council voted to sanction Pyongyang.
"North Korea best not make any more threats to the United States," Trump said. "They will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen."
Trump's comments appeared to be prompted by a statement issued to the state-run Korean Central News Agency, which said "packs of wolves are coming in attack to strangle a nation."
Congressional Democrats criticized Trump for his comments, but Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Secretary of Defense James Mattis came to the president's defense.
When asked about Trump's comments Wednesday, Heather Nauert, spokeswoman for the State Department, said the U.S. was speaking with "one voice" on North Korea. On Thursday, Nauert reiterated that U.S. policy toward North Korea hasn't changed after Trump's reiteration.

Fat Boy is depending on Russia and China to protect his a$$.........................
Fire, fury AND Yoko Ono CDs airdropped onto the populace.
Don’t forget the Leroy Neiman paintings.
Spike a drone into his fathead.
“The Left” would have criticized Trump NO MATTER what he said.
Let’s all blow these kind of comments away and move on and support Trump in our perilous weeks coming up.
Send diplomatically secure messages to all who have embassies there that they have 48 hours to get their people out........................
The Dems are a bunch of appeasing wusses
It frustrates me that the media and liberals are critical of Trump for being belligerent and bellicose.
Rather than being critical of Fat Boy and his apparent ability and desire to plunge us into a war, instead the liberals criticize Trump’s statements on the situation.
To listen to the media, you would swear that Trump is the major threat to world peace, not Fat Boy.
the deep state wants war badly
freepers should realize if the deep state wants war - we shouldn’t
Hope CNN has a crash cart at the ready.
It always amuses me that, in a country full of starving people, Fat Boy seems to get enough to eat.
He’s the only fat person in the whole country............odd...............
enjoy your servitude then.
I LOVE President Trump! - The first POTUS since Ronald Reagan who hasn't been gelded!
The left is irrelevant.
We don't need to impress them, we just need the impress Fatboy NorKo.
Just put a high accuracy missile into his bedroom. No explosive, just a note:
The next one will be armed.
Carpet bomb the country with cheeseburgers!
Yeah, you know the Left was stroking out when Reagan said, “We begin bombing in five minutes.”
