Trump talk asking for disaster

No president of any country, certainly not a President of the USA, should ever talk about bringing about the “total destruction” of any country. President Trump’s talk at the United Nations on Sept. 19 is alarming, distressing, and unnecessary.

Unfortunately, the leader of North Korea and the President of the United States of America share some common characteristics. Two that seem to fit are: 1. “egomania,” defined by Webster as “an abnormally excessive egotism or self-conceit; an overwhelming opinion of one’s self,” and 2.) “megalomania,” defined by Webster as “an exaggerated belief in one’s own importance or power.”

So far as the USA, it behooves those around this President to prevent any rash action that would imperil the existence of any country; or for that matter the existence of our world. So far as North Korea, I do not pretend to understand his mentality and situation. However, I beseech the Unlimited Divine Creator to save us from disaster.
