ANALYSIS/OPINION:
North Korea just backed away from its wildly wild vow to take out Guam, turning down the heat a notch on what was becoming the media’s most favored message of late — the one that painted President Donald Trump as the crazed White House madman, steadily leading America toward a path of fire and destruction.
Hmm. Guess who’s red-faced now?
Suddenly, Trump’s harsh response to North Korea’s loudly proclaimed threats against America don’ t seem too “reckless, ” do they, Sen. Chuck Schumer?
Schumer, remember, decried Trump’s “fire and fury” comment as “reckless” and said such “rhetoric is not a strategy to keep America safe.”
Plenty of others said similarly — plenty of others whose faces should be red right about now.
There was Maryland Sen. Ben Cardin, who said: “Trump’s comments were not helpful and once again show that he lacks the temperament and judgment to deal with the serious crisis the United States confronts.”
And there was Sen. Dianne Feinstein, who said, “Trump is not helping the situation with his bombastic comments.”
And there was also Republican Sen. John McCain, who snarked “the great leaders I’ ve seen don’ t threaten unless they’ re ready to act and I’ m not sure President Trump is ready to act.
