    In an executive order Friday, the president extended for one year the so-called “national emergency” with respect to the authoritarian, nuclear-armed nation, authorizing economic restrictions against it.

    While expected, the declaration comes just nine days after Trump tweeted, “There is no longer a Nuclear Threat from North Korea” following his summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in Singapore.

    The order appears to undermine the president’s claim.

    It states that “the existence and risk of proliferation of weapons-usable fissile material” and the actions and policies of the North Korean government “continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States.”

    Now that Toxic Trumpf stepped all over his ‘amazing’ nothing burger success w N Korea last week by separating detained refugee families this week, he’s trying to have us forget that atrocity by bringing up N Korea! Sorry Chalaria, we’re not forgetting that you, the Orange Hoont should be indicted on Crimes Against Humanity.

    To #1 - You should be indicted for the vile filth which you expound on this site, on a daily basis! Evidently, your Mother never taught you any manners; and, you never learned humility.
