White House; North Korea a threat. Trump North Korea not a threat - SteveG - 06-22-2018
Another Big Fat Lie.
The White House in an announcement on Friday said North Korea remains an “unusual and extraordinary threat” to the United States despite President Trump's assertion last week that Pyongyang “is no longer a nuclear threat.”
The Trump administration on Friday issued a routine notice to Congress describing the threat as reasoning for keeping sanctions in place on North Korea.
“The existence and risk of proliferation of weapons-usable fissile material on the Korean Peninsula and the actions and policies of the Government of North Korea continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States,” the notice read.
The president, upon returning from his summit in Singapore last week with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, said Pyongyang “no longer” posed a nuclear threat.
“Just landed — a long trip, but everybody can now feel much safer than the day I took office. There is no longer a Nuclear Threat from North Korea,” Trump wrote on Twitter June 13.
“Meeting with Kim Jong Un was an interesting and very positive experience. North Korea has great potential for the future!”
Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), in a statement, criticized the administration for contradicting Trump's own rhetoric on North Korea.
“The report of President Trump’s own administration completely undercuts his statements over the last few weeks," Schumer said. "We have to treat these negotiations far more seriously than just as a photo opp. Saying the North Korea problem is solved doesn’t make it so.”

"I can't believe that!" said Alice.
"Can't you?" the Queen said in a pitying tone. "Try again: draw a long breath, and shut your eyes."
Alice laughed. "There's no use trying," she said: "one can't believe impossible things."
"I daresay you haven't had much practice," said the Queen. "When I was your age, I always did it for half-an-hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast."

There was a great article about a month ago comparing Trumps position on issues with 'The Administration's' position.

Maybe I'm out of touch because I try to ignore Trump-related banter as much as possible… An endeavor at which, as you might imagine, I fail extravagantly on a daily basis… but that's the first time I've seen Trump compared to the Queen of Hearts. Very apt!
