Marie Harf: Trump ‘Might Have Sort of Stumbled His Way Into Deterrence that Actually is Currently Working’

RUSH EXCERPT:

HARF: "I think President Trump might've stumbles way into deterrence. It's currently working. I didn't love the rhetoric but I also didn't like it was the worst thing that ever happened on the planet. Deterrence worked. They already have missiles, they already have nuclear weapons. Deterrence works if they know that if they do something we will destroy them. They are not going to wait that on Guam. If they are going to have one shot at taking out an American city, striking the U.S., they are not going to lob a few missiles into the ocean next to Guam. They are going to wait to do something else. For the time being, he has sufficiently scare them. They know they will be rained down upon with fire and fury, like the president said. We need to be careful going forward so we are not back in an escalatory place where it feels like it's getting out of control."
