[QUOTE=Loser Donald, 7/3/17] North Korea has just launched another missile. Does this guy have anything better to do with his life? Hard to believe that South Korea and Japan will put up with this much longer. Perhaps China will put a heavy move on North Korea and end this nonsense once and for all! [/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Loser Donald, 7/5/17] Trade between China and North Korea grew almost 40% in the first quarter. So much for China working with us - but we had to give it a try! [/QUOTE] Looks like grandpa’s having trouble keeping his rage consistent from one day to the next. ---

Would anyone give consideration to my idea that the NK situation could be solved if NK would agree to suspend their nuclear ambitions in exchange for a security guarantee from China? We have mostly peace in Europe for 75 years as a result of the NATO security agreement, for example. As we have no reason to , nor intention to, attack China, and no reason to attack NK if they quit playing with nuclear fire…why not let China guarantee their security and get the nukes off the table? ---

> [@Smapti](#): > > Looks like grandpa’s having trouble keeping his rage consistent from one day to the next. I find these tweets particularly loathsome. You don’t conduct diplomacy by tweeting. Did he seriously think the Chinese would read that first tweet and think “Hey- there’s an idea! We should put a heavy move on NK to make Donald happy!” It doesn’t work that way. You need to send your people to talk to their people to see what they can do, what they will do, and what they might want in return. You don’t tweet “Gee I’d like a pony” and expect a pony to show up. The second tweet was even dumber, as that implied that the first tweet involved honest effort. Sitting on the White House toilet and typing out the first thing that enters your tiny little head as you push out a turd is not honest effort. ---

While at the G20, representing the United States before the rest of the world, Orange Chimp decided it would be appropriate to take time out from Presidenting to tweet: > [@](#): > > Everyone here is talking about why John Podesta refused to give the DNC server to the FBI and the CIA, Disgraceful! No matter that Podesta had nothing to do with the DNC, he was an employee of the Clinton reelection campaign, not of the DNC. One Trump staffer, asking to be anonymous, told Daily Caller, “I have no idea what he’s talking about.” > **[Trump Aides on Podesta Tweet: ‘No Idea What He Is Talking About’](http://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-aides-on-podesta-tweet-no-idea-what-he-is-talking-about)** > > President Trump’s tweets sometimes leave even his closest aides scratching their heads - today was one of those times. ---
