What would it state if we missed the interception?

Trump couldn't even get Obamacare repealed - something that the GOP ran on for nearly 8 years. Do you really expect that he'll come up with a solution to North Korea?
Really?
REALLY?

Trump will likely achieve nothing in that regard - just like he's done with Obamacare. He's the most incompetent President EVER - and he's not even a year in yet.

I LOVE IT!

Obamarecare deflections, lol.

When it comes to visiting Japan, it's not the fat man you need to worry about. I'd be far more concerned with Fukushima and the radioactivity associated with the marine and plant life.

You don't understand why the U.S. doesn't intercept N.K.'s missiles, because you don't understand how missile intercepts work.

Virtually all missile intercepts work by sending the interceptor from the target area towards the missile. The reason we don't try to intercept those missiles is because we don't have anybody where the missiles are going to impact.

So what IS your man-crush exactly doing to keep NK in line and eliminating them as a threat to America?

OK, let's talk about "renegotiating NAFTA" - how's THAT working out?
Zilch?
What about that Border Wall?
No money for that?
What about Draining the Swamp?
Oh, Trump appointed Wall Street types to key positions?
How about Charging Hillary?
No indictments there?
Kicking out the DACA kids?
Sounds like that's not happening either.
Stopping Unfair Trade with China?
Trading more than ever.
Better relations with Russia?
Nope.
Stopping North Korea from developing nuclear-tipped ICBMs?
Um, no.
Pulling out of the Iran nuclear agreement?
No.

Is that enough - or shall I go on?
The list of Trump failures is mighty long - and getting longer all the time.
Are you tired of "winning" yet?
Seems to me the "winning" has yet to even start.

Ken

Personally, I never thought Trump was hard line enough. But, unless we are going to start having firing squads for Supreme Court Justices and Senators, we kinda have to work within the system. And the system is slow, and pretty saturated by members of the swamp.

OTOH, how is all of your whining about what Trump hasn't accomplished in his 8 months in office, the undoing of Obama's 8 years of damage, really related to dealing with 38 years of passively allowing N.K. to build its nuclear arsenal? It isn't. It is deflection.

EXACTLY......8-months and not one single legislative victory! Not even a "HONEYMOON Period" for this most disliked President ever elected in American history!

That is the $64 million dollar question! It must just be all phony-bologna, a BS game, and behind the scenes we are good buddies with Kim......unless..... our government really IS THAT INCREDIBLY STUPID!
