WNU Editor: Some are not happy with President Trump's tweet .... Sen. Chris Coons slams Trump's North Korea tweet: "This is no longer reality TV" (CNN). As to what is my take. Knowing the Chinese like I do .... they do appreciate President Trump's tweet, and I also know that with each North Korean threat, missile test, and preparations for a nuclear test .... support within China for the "hermit kingdom" is decreasing with each passing day. But the Chinese .... like everyone else in the region (and in the White House) know that North Korea is going to be along term problem. There are no easy solutions .... but President Trump has definitely changed the narrative on what to do with Kim Jong-Un, and on this issue he has wide support throughout Asia.
