Here’s Trump’s morning contribution on Twitter:

> [@](#):
>
> I told Rex Tillerson, our wonderful Secretary of State, that he is wasting his time trying to negotiate with Little Rocket Man…
> 
> …Save your energy Rex, we’ll do what has to be done!

Did he just suggest to his Secretary of State that his efforts to avert the possibility of nuclear conflict are futile, and he shouldn’t bother?

Maybe Tillerson should be negotiating with Trump.

Are we to understand that Tillerson just up and decided to negotiate with North Korea on his own and Trump had no idea this was going on until he happened to see it on Fake News, or whatever?

That seems to be the case. Either that, or Smeagol-Trump approved the negotiations, and Gollum-Trump is acting like it never happened.

It does seem that leaders pulling back from negotiations is one of the fist steps towards open hostilities of the kinetic variety.

Maybe it’s just Trump trying to play good cop-bad cop (and failing, obviously).

Well, let’s see… who is more likely to be [del]full of shit[/del] lying: (1) Donald Trump or (2) anyone else?

_\<Thinks very very hard…\>_

Who is more likely to give the okay for someone to do something and then throw them under the bus later and pretend he knew nothing about it: (1) Donald Trump or (2) anyone else?

_\<Thinks very very very hard…\>_

Who is more likely to backpedal (or even ERASE comments) and pretend like he never said something: (1) Donald Trump or (2) anyone else?

_\<Thinks very very very very hard… This is making my brain hurt\>_

Okay. I give up.

Well he does have a record of sabotaging the FOOLS who keep trying to help or protect him, doesn’t he.
