Trump campaigned on smart negotiating and strength, never claimed he could make a deal with Kim. The reason it's now Trump's problem is when it was Bush/Clinton/Bush/Obama's problem they used ineffective sanctions and kicked the can down the road. Don't forget that the Korean War ended in armistice not peace. The newest Kim to run the socialist utopia has escalated things dramatically with an ICBM test that's new technology for them. 1 EMP blast over the lower 48 would be an apocalyptic scenario they don't need to nuke any cities to bring us to our knees.
