Half a year ago some people were claiming Trump's unpredictability could be used as an advantage against North Korea.
However I think the reality -- which NK and other countries must have figured out by now -- is that Trump's unreliable nature makes it less likely for the U.S. military to want to escalate the situation with him running things. The people in his own White House have made it pretty clear they have no faith in him at all.
Trump is also heading into the most challenging time of his presidency this coming week. After demonstrating his inability to pass any legislation, he's going to have to somehow figure out a way to raise the debt ceiling, pass a budget and get disaster funding...all while Congress is in session for only 12 days.
He'll need to do this while dealing with an escalating investigation over colluding with a foreign power, a record number of resignations and unfilled posts and parts of Texas underwater.
It's just such a clusterfuck...if you are North Korea you would look at this chaotic situation on the other side and conclude it's the perfect time to act.
- Yeah, NIK is certainly not scared by our thug-child of a President. I do worry they'll just keep going knowing he can't do a damn thing.formed
