Pentagon 'worried Trump was going to declare war on North Korea' during today's tweets about military

The US is concerned about North Korea's nuclear programme

Some officials at the Pentagon were reportedly concerned Donald Trump was set to declare war on North Korea when he started tweeting about his plans for the military.

There were nine long minutes between Mr Trump’s first tweet - announcing he had been consulting with his generals - and the second, in which he said he had decided transgender people could not serve in the military.

Donald Trump is so insecure and lacking in self confidence that it wouldn't surprise anyone if he announced on twitter that the U.S. was about to take military action against North Korea given the world's concern over its nuclear programme.   North Korea's army is massed along the inter Korean border along with a majority of its artillery.  With that in mind Seoul would be devastated and ten's of thousands killed  given its close proximity to the border.   Don't underestimate Trump's ability to do the utterly stupid.
