President’s diktat was ignored by his top officials, Peter Bergen writes in Trump and his Generals: The Cost of Chaos
Trump had been repeatedly told that US freedom of action against North Korea was constrained by the fact that the regime’s artillery could demolish the South Korean capital in retaliation for any attack, inflicting mass casualties on its population of 25 million.
“They have to move,” Trump said, according to Bergen, who adds that his officials were initially unsure if the president was joking. But Trump then repeated the line. “They have to move!”
INSIDE THE CHAOS INSIDE HIS HEAD (December 10)
I herewith order 25 million
be swiftly moved out of Seoul.
I say get to it.
Jared can do it.
Moving Seoul.
That's today's goal.
Then, when Kimmy attacks,
no one'll die — anticlimax.
With all the Seoul sisters
(and brothers)
hiding (somewhere or other),
Kimmy'll never know why. . .
he shoots his wad
they all survive it.
Gad, but I'm clever. (I AM A GOD!)
I don't see why Democrats
don't recognize it.
