Twitter is all praises for California Democratic Representative Ted Lieu, who said that the “only thing” which will work in United States’ favor when dealing with North Korea is Donald Trump’s resignation.
Lieu’s statement immediately drew a lot of attention on Twitter, especially as many believed that its tongue-in-cheek manner is perhaps something more politicians can employ when dealing with Donald Trump’s often contentious and rhetoric-filled Twitter rants.
“Dear @realDonaldTrump: Is that one thing you resigning? I’m sure your generals told you there are zero good military options against N Korea,” Lieu’s tweet read.
Trump had earlier tweeted that “only one thing will work” with North Korea, referring to the president’s repeated emphasis that Pyongyang’s recent surge in conducting intercontinental ballistic missile tests and pushing ahead with its nuclear program despite widespread condemnation can only be controlled by counter military action on part of the United States. Trump has time and again doubled down on his initial claim that the US has several military options at its disposal to check the alarming actions of the Asian country, which has seen Kim Jong-un launch a series of missile tests over Japan’s airspace over the last few weeks, a provocative gesture not appreciated by the island country.
Trump recently also received the dubious honor of being the first president to openly chastise his Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, on a public platform like Twitter. Future historians will have their work cut out with the amount of digital document and material that will be available to them. Tillerson had reportedly established a line of diplomatic connection with North Korea, but Trump thumbed down the effort, advising him to “save his energy” because Trump had other ideas about dealing with Pyongyang.
