Fineman: ‘There Were a Lot of War Drums Being Pounded’ in Trump’s Speech Last Night

‘And the president called North Korea depraved and talked about rebuilding the nuclear arsenal’

RUSH EXCERPT:
FINEMAN: "He went cy advance one better and quit before he started because he saw where this policy was headed. Talking to people who obviously study this carefully and talking to people on the hill, they’re worried that even though there was boilerplate in that speech last night as Michelle said, it was pretty aggressive cy war going on in that speech about North Korea. They had the defector up in the gallery who obviously raised his crutches. They had the parents of Otto Warmbier who obviously had died shortly after having been maltreated in a north Korean prison. And the president called North Korea depraved and talked about rebuilding the nuclear arsenal, et cetera. There was a lot of war drums being pounded last night in that speech. And it’s clear that H.R. McMaster and others inside the White House while they aren’t for bloody nosing anybody in the next few days, they really haven’t dismissed that possibility at all and they know that to stay in the good graces of Donald Trump, they have to not dismiss it. They have not to go down the road that Victor cha just went down."
