    So, now Trump's 'armada' which was sent to North Korea with a 'message' and which was being hailed with joy by his adoring fans who want to kick Kim's ass, was actually headed in the opposite direction; to Australia!
    What's the matter with that man; can he get nothing right?

    He's a pathological liar. What's dangerous is his base doesn't care, even when it comes to serious foreign policy issues.

    Lol, can you imagine this man-baby being in charge during something like the Cuban missile crisis?

    There was nothing even remotely hyperbolic when Hillary and the rest of the sane world said that you can't give a weak minded freak who gets baited by a celebrity tweet at 3am the nuclear codes.

    Or it's a bluff to see if what little Un will do. Who knows?

    Hah! You fell for Fake News:

    SHOT: Despite talk of a military strike, Trump’s ‘armada’ actually sailed away from Korea.

    CHASER: Trump’s missing ‘armada’ finally heading to Korea — and may stay a while.

    Both these headlines are from Washington Post stories, filed just hours apart.

    Are you getting the feeling that WaPo was trying to make the Administration look like liars, even if only for a few hours?

    Why on the world would you think the Commander In Chief of the United States should actually have any idea where his military is actually operating?

    Nothing wrong with psyching out the enemy.

    He knew. This wasn't a screw up, it was just another intentional lie.

    I wouldn't rule out ignorance in this case.

    Can't very well fool the Norks without fooling everyone in this interconnected day and age.

    You can never rule out ignorance with this crier, but there's been reporting that they knew where the carrier was, they just lied.

    That is clearly an assumption given Spicer's pathetic attempts to explain the confusion. That said if Trump lied in a pathetic attempt to scare North Korea it clearly didn't work and really only suceeded in making Trump look like even more of a fool on the world stage.

    You've been manipulated since 1898. One gets the impression you really like it.

    That is too obtuse for me.
    I'm old, but I haven't been around since 1898.

    Stupid thread. I guess people can rant about anything with no substance based on political bias nowadays here on PF.
