Trump Declares ‘I Won’t Fail’ on North Korea

President Trump declared on Twitter this afternoon “I won’t fail” on North Korea.

This came hours after he publicly undermined Rex Tillerson on this very issue (even though a senior official is claiming this is not the case).

Being nice to Rocket Man hasn't worked in 25 years, why would it work now? Clinton failed, Bush failed, and Obama failed. I won't fail.

Though as many people pointed out, “Rocket Man” hasn’t been around for 25 years:
