Lisa Monaco, the former homeland security adviser to President Barack ObamaBarack ObamaDemocrats introduce another "false hope" act to immigrants IL makes "Barack Obama Day" a state holiday GOP senator: I wish Republicans had stood up to birtherism MORE, warned President Trump on Wednesday against making improvised or uncoordinated statements on North Korea, saying the situation offers "no room for error".

However, according to an article in the Boston Globe, quoting an expert in the realm of presidential power, Trump has nearly "unchecked authority to order the use of conventional or nuclear weapons against North Korea".

It also prompted North Korea's military to announce that it is considering an attack on Guam, a USA island territory that hosts about 6,000 American troops. It is now far stronger and more powerful than ever before. "Hopefully we will never have to use this power, but there will never be a time that we are not the most powerful nation in the world!"

Trump, who has threatened "fire and fury" if North Korea continues its provocations, returned to the subject of Obama on Thursday morning, retweeting a survey by ProgressPolls, which asked: "Who is a better President of the United States?"

The tweets were in response to the news that North Korea is quickly on its way to becoming a nuclear power, according to The Washington Post. "But I think what the president was just reaffirming is the United States has the capability to fully defend itself with any attack, will defend our allies, and we will do so".

President Donald Trump's daily pronouncements typically are greeted by most Americans with a mixture of derision, sarcasm, and humor.

Barack Obama was a reassuring adult in an increasingly unsafe world, and Donald Trump is a man-sized toddler pushing the world closer to nuclear war. "Nobody in the world, especially not North Korea, comes close to challenging our military capabilities".
