President Donald Trump on Sunday said he told Secretary of State Rex Tillerson to “save his energy” when it comes to negotiations with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, and that the United States will “do what has to be done” instead.
“I told Rex Tillerson, our wonderful Secretary of State, that he is wasting his time trying to negotiate with Little Rocket Man,” Trump tweeted, using his favorite moniker for Kim. “Save your energy Rex, we’ll do what has to be done!”
…Save your energy Rex, we'll do what has to be done!

Tillerson on Saturday said the United States has direct channels of communications with North Korea, despite Kim’s and Trump’s publicly escalating rhetoric.
“We have lines of communication to Pyongyang. We’re not in a dark situation, a blackout,” Tillerson said. “We can talk to them, we do talk to them.”
Later Saturday, he said “the whole situation” was “a bit overheated.”
“I think we need to calm them down first,” Tillerson said. “Obviously it would help if North Korea would stop firing off missiles. That would calm things down a lot.”
The only thing that will calm down the situation is if the little man with the weird hairdo would just resign from his office and spend his time playing golf. Frankly, the alternative would be that little man overdoing it and finding himself with a major stroke - golf stroke, of course.
We will continue to do what we have done so successfully: tweet angry, thoughtless tweets and spend the taxpayers money on “working” golf trips to Florida, then claim we are being misrepresented by ingrates and NFL players. Why mess with a working formula?
So last weekend - through his tweetrages about Rocket Man, the North Koreans assumed Trump was declaring war. Took several days to calm that down.
What does dotard do? One week later resumes the Tweet Taunts. Tell me how this language doesn’t also convey to the edgy North Koreans that Trump this time has just declared war?
He reminds me of the old joke about insanity defined as doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
Heeeellllooooooo… General Kelly, where are you?
There is no bottom to Trump’s stupidity.
How soon before Tillerson bolts?
He clearly senses that he’s not winning the war of words on the Puerto Rico front, so he’s falling back on his greatest hits. Expect a Crooked Hillary tirade next.
