Trump is okay with North Korea having nuclear weapons. So, he’s punishing South Korea for not getting involved with Iran seeking nuclear weapons and, in the process, doing exactly what Kim Jong Un wants.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump ordered the Pentagon on Sunday to scale back planned joint military exercises with South Korea, saying it declined to help denuclearize Iran and citing his good relationship with North Korea’s Kim Jong Un.

Trump said in a social media post that the exercises slated to begin this week are not only costly but “send a signal that is totally inappropriate and hostile” to North Korea, which he said “has been unthreatening and respectful” while Trump has been in the White House.

As always, he’s President Opposite. He’s the one who is now sending the wrong signal. Not only to North Korea, but the entire world.

For whose benefit is this pointless statement intended? Is he just trying to convince himself?

“They have No Money – Their country is ‘shot.’ All they have is FAKE NEWS and 300% INFLATION, and getting worse,” Trump said.

Isn’t everybody tired of this back-and-forth on Iran?

• He meets with Bibi and says, “We’re locked and loaded.”
• MBS calls him and he says, “Based on this request, I have agreed … to cancel the attack.”
