New York Times: What Did President Trump Mean by ‘Calm Before the Storm’?
WASHINGTON — President Trump was clearly looking to make some kind of news, but about what, exactly, was not clear. And the mystery, as it often does with a president whose statements baffle even his staff, only deepened the next day.
On Thursday evening, the White House told the presidential press corps that Mr. Trump was done with his public schedule for the day. But around 7 p.m., Mr. Trump summoned reporters who were still at work to the State Dining Room, where he was throwing a dinner for military commanders and their spouses.
Gesturing to his guests, he said, “You guys know what this represents? Maybe it’s the calm before the storm.”
“What’s the storm?” asked one reporter.
“Could be the calm before the storm,” Mr. Trump repeated, stretching out the phrase, a sly smile playing across his face.
“From Iran?” ventured another reporter. “On ISIS? On what?”
“What storm, Mr. President?” asked a third journalist, a hint of impatience creeping into her voice.

Update: White House mum over Trump's cryptic 'calm before the storm' message (CNN).
WNU Editor: As I predicted .... since these comments were made the media (and President Trump's critics) have been in melt-down mode. No one knows what he meant by these remarks .... and those in the media who are speculating that he will attack North Korea are just making themselves look like fools. To me .... this is just another example that shows how much President Trump owns the media, and the punchline is that the media knows this.

I have not enjoyed a president as much as Trump in all my nearly 72 years. And coming off 8 years of the poser we experienced only deepens the appreciation.

It is like thinks he is talking to children when he makes comments like that. My aged dad talked like that when he teased my three kids, all under 6.
I agree, one can only Imagine that Kim is sweating bullets, knowing that his bluffs and intimidation leading to concessions has come to an abrupt end.
^^😂😂^^
the same stunt he used in TV show...guess just guess what I will do sometime
and the need to surround himself with generals to play his military school years
Why Obama isn't being relentlessly hounded over his policy of strategic patience(aka leave it for the next admin) beggars disbelief.
