Is anyone else worried about Trump / NK?

[BrokenGirl]

I was always doing so well about this, not letting it get to me. My attitude was that there is nothing I can do about it anyway, and it worked up until now.
The latest in the Trump/NK saga is really upsetting and worrying me.
Does anyone else feel like this?
How much of what we hear and read about is true? Or how much of it is sensationalized?

I get like that whenever there's a terrorist attack too... it really makes you think, especially when you see the scenes on the news.. You don't know if the media are exaggerating or not quite reporting all the facts..

Despite all the horror stories you here daily in the news, we live in the safest times in recorded human history. We've wiped out diseases, raised life expectancies and there is actually less war than there has ever been. And you live in Ireland - one of the safest countries in the world with a low rate of crime and a low terrorism threat.

Things like Trump/North Korea and other stuff is largely out of our control, so I wouldn't waste time worrying about it. Just be glad you live where you do.

I have to really keep myself in check when it comes to the news and threats like the NK/Trump situation. My step-dad is military and I talked to him about it some and that really helped. I find solace in knowing that there are things going on behind the scenes and military capabilities that we, the general public, know nothing about. Obviously, these secret things would not be broadcast on the news.

Yes , I am
Very scared of this as well.

Despite the gravity of the situation, this quote from Kim Jong-un cracked me up last night:

"I will surely and definitely tame the mentally deranged US dotard with fire."

Yes, Trump is terrifying and odious. I really think these two toddlers could get into a nuclear war pissing match.

I am also really worried about the health "care" bill passing :-(

That's the thing. They are both so emotionally underdeveloped, ego driven, and reactionary. It's terrifying.

That truly was a classic burn! That word dotard is trending all over the net ~lol~

I saw a comment that some one made about it. 'Do'nald + re'tard' = Dotard ~lol~ You just have to laugh, otherwise you'd drive yourself crazy with all the nonsense going on!

Positive thoughts
