Senator Lindsey Graham: I hope the regime understands, “if President Trump has to pick between destroying the North Korean regime and the American homeland, he’s going to destroy the regime.” https://t.co/BhXMNycVFN https://t.co/HZKlr5tAtW

North Korea is seriously “miscalculating” President Donald Trump’s potential response to its continued provocations and missile tests, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said Tuesday.
That is likely because previous U.S. presidents have not always made the consequences real.
“Every president before him has said, ‘we’re not going to allow North Korea to have nuclear weapon,'” Graham told Wolf Blitzer on CNN’s “The Situation Room.” “Well, they’ve got nuclear weapons. Every president before President Trump has said, ‘we’re never going to allow them to hit the homeland with an ICBM with a nuclear weapon on top.’ They’re about to get a capability.”
