As much as I hate almost everything about Trump, I didn't mind his approach


with North Korea.

Yes, it was definitely not "presidential" to be threatening fire and fury, calling Kim fat, etc etc.

BUT

You know what? 20+ years of "quiet diplomacy" hadn't worked, so maybe acting like a crazy guy who just MIGHT jump up and punch you was in fact the way to go?

I have no idea if it really was Trump's approach that did the trick, or if he even truly had that approach as some well thought out strategy, but doing the same old thing definitely WASN'T working.
