>>Trump is not some brilliant politician with a new approach -- he's a f-ing idiot who's exhibited stupidity. He doesn't have some genius plan here dude...he's just a blabbering idiot (aka -- dangerous).

Certainly he has a new approach. Maybe spend less time looking for things to sling off at, and more to seeing the effect of what's going on economically and wrt relationship with China. To be very clear: China is a cigarette paper's thickness away from realizing its ambition to be the world's only sovereign state. Xi was already hinting at it. Then along came 45's Executive Orders.

>>There is Qaddafi, Saddam, etc etc. We've had policies of 'regime change' in the past - he has every reason to be concerned. You think the USA would of been so quick to take out Qaddafi or Saddam if they had nukes? I'd say not. And technically we're still at war with North Korea.

I don't think Trump wants to take anybody out. He wants to bring the troops home. He's publicly musing on an economic renaissance for NK led by Kim. Maybe you're thinking of some other candidate.

>>Noooo.. dictators at first have to attack the free press - which is the step required to get the power to have control over it. Step one is to attack it -- you have to admit that. The free press doesn't disappear over night - it is a process -- which starts with attacking it! OMG.

Though you refer to "dictators" as a group, I doubt you can name a single dictator that started by attacking the press rather than controlling or owning it. Just because Fake News issues such rants non stop, doesn't make it true.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
