There is no conflict between President Donald Trump’s tweets on the frivolity of speaking diplomatically with the North Korean regime, and the USA diplomatic mission to prevent North Korea from developing nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles, according to Defense Secretary James Mattis. Lohr also compared Trump to Idi Amin, previous dictator of Uganda, with how Trump has seemed to declare his power of being the president of the U.S.
“I will surely and definitely tame the mentally deranged US dotard with fire”, Kim Jong Un said.
