‘Get Rid Of This Crazy Fat Kid’ Kim Jong Un, Fox Host Suggests About North Korean Leader
North Korea tested an intercontinental ballistic missile on the Fourth of July, sending a shock throughout the globe. The tenuous situation has North Korea, a nuclear power, and their enigmatic leader Kim Jong Un on one side, and a globe who is at a loss of what to do on the other. North Korea has artillery all along its border aimed and South Korea, where millions of people live. Kim’s nuclear capabilities aren’t fully understood, and the world doesn’t have a great handle on who in the government actually controls those weapons. The rising tensions had leaders looking for solutions. Fox News is looking for solutions too.
“There’s one other option here that we haven’t talked about — and I know you’re not supposed to go out, or go in, and take out a leader because of international rules, decorum, etc., that we have,” said Trish Regan a Fox Business Network host on “Fox and Friends,” Thursday. “But if there was a way to get in and get rid of this crazy fat kid, as you said, Meghan (McCain), then wouldn’t that do a lot in terms of saving a lot of lives here?”
McCain didn’t mince words about Kim either.
“He’s a complete and total absolute maniac spoiled fat kid who makes (Bashar al-)Assad look like a normal person,” said McCain, a Fox News Channel Host.
“Fox and Friends,” is a show favored by President Donald Trump, he has often praised it on Twitter.
During a press conference in Poland Thursday, Trump had a warning for North Korea.
“It's a shame they're behaving this way — they’re behaving in a very, very dangerous manner and something will have to be done about it,” said Trump. “I have some pretty severe things that we are thinking about. That doesn't mean we are going to do it. I don't draw red lines.”
Defense Secretary Jim Mattis thinks that any kind of limited military strike, even like the one Regan suggests, would cause massive carnage.
“(It) “would be probably the worst kind of fighting in most people’s lifetimes” said Mattis, the New York Times reported Wednesday.
A limited, or surgical, strike of any kind could trigger the firing of North Korea’s border artillery at South Korea, and it’s 10 million person capital Seoul, which is within 35 miles of North Korea’s border.
In addition to nuclear weapons, it is also believed that North Korea has stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons. While it is hard to predict what North Korea would do if provoked, the threat is massive.

“The U.S. is prepared to use the full range of our capabilities to defend ourselves and our allies,” said Nikki Haley, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations on Wednesday.
Haley, however, indicated that military intervention would be the last option, and has urged China to pressure North Korea economically.
