Trump message: Nothing to see here

Isn’t it interesting how, when things are heating up with Robert Mueller’s investigation of the Trump campaign’s ties to Russia, President Donald Trump heats up the rhetoric and threats toward North Korea?

One is reminded of the movie “Wag the Dog,” in which a war was created to divert American’s attention from the president’s wrongdoing. We must be very careful and evaluate the “whys” of Trump’s actions. After all, it will be our children and grandchildren who fight in whatever war he initiates.
