Guam? Really?

[MineralMan]

Does Trump know what's on Guam? Very worrisome, since Guam is in reach of NK missiles, for sure. Very dangerous.

1. Vibes to all those on Guam or on or near the Korean Peninsula.

2. He is ignorant to all the areas in which we have bases, much less our territories.

As much a mental midget as I once though Reagan (even pre-Alzheimers) or GW Bush*, they clearly knew the basics of geography and history (in Bush* case, the very basics, but still...)

this is so damned frightening.

7. If Trumpy doesn't have a hotel in a country,

he has no idea where it is.

3. Remember Qatar?

Trump is clueless as to who or what we have where.

4. tRump made a lot of campaign promises to Guam.

I wonder how those are going.

[Ilsa]

5. I'm guessing he figures

there won't be anyone left to complain.

6. Trumpy's an impotent fool.

He has no reason to escalate. Doing so invites a zero-sum game in which Trumpy will definitely lose. What a fool. NK immediately calls his bluff, and now Trumpy has to back down in defeat. Anyone with a lick of sense knew it in advance.

8. Why should he care about Guam?

"It's a made up place, like the Netherlands."

Don't ask him about naval bases or he'll pull up his shirt, grab his stupendous gut, shake it at you, and shout, "I've got the greatest naval base right here!" You won't be able to unsee it, and you will for two weeks.

9. "Where America's Day Begins"...

I worked with a woman who grew up on Guam, thus my awareness of their back-then slogan.

Trump v. NK...look for the right to cling to this story like Velcro, and to even ramp up the situation. Anything to divert media away from focusing on how stupefyingly inept, nihilistic and criminal the current administration truly is.
