Trump’s response to North Korea’s test firing of four missiles in the Sea of Japan last week did not go over well.
This test was seen by the world as a provocation of Asian countries and a direct threat to Western countries, but Trump felt the need to call them out on his “presidential” Twitter podium this morning.
North Korea is behaving very badly. They have been "playing" the United States for years. China has done little to help!

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, released a statement on Friday warning North Korea that “the policy of strategic patience” is over. While Tillerson would like to avoid a military conflict, he also stated that further missile threats “would be met with an appropriate response.”
During Trump’s reelection campaign, Kim Jong-Un named Donald Trump the officer candidate of the DPRK according to an alleged official statement.
Trump’s one and only “fan” in the world probably won’t like him much after this particular early morning rant, and neither does the internet.
@realDonaldTrump This isn't a reality show. Stop putting Americans lives in danger!

@Pappiness @realDonaldTrump Sadly, he doesn't believe in consequences, unless they are directed at others. He's too narcissistic.

.@realDonaldTrump This isn't a business negotiation, it's a matter of human lives. Try diplomacy instead of reality show drama.

.@realDonaldTrump You've already killed a soldier with flippant decisions at dinner. Your words, your tweets, have consequences.

And George Takei weighed in as well.
Trump wants to cut the State Department by 31%. Because who needs all those pesky diplomats when you have Twitter. pic.twitter.com/nziWlkhlF1

Trump, you need to get those little hands off of Twitter and back to work.
