Two U.S. senators complain of slowing sanctions on North KoreaTwo senior U.S. senators called on Monday for the Trump administration to correc... I unironically support cutting our military spending by 100% and giving all 700 billion dollars to North Korea ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) These guys are jealous of the President success. Trump is naïve enough to think he can stroke a deal with the devil? Remember, Trump's 'little buddy' had his brother murdered. Trump will morally bend to any oligarchical whim to strike a deal, and compromises our greatness for his own economic gain. Wake up, America!!
