December 19, 2017 --

Media columnists have taken to questioning President Trump's patriotism from time to time -- when they are not impugning his mental state. LPR is, however, astounded by the lead New York Times editorial, December 9, that began:

"North Korea's launch last week of a type of missile that may soon be able to deliver a nuclear warhead to the united States mainland set off the Trump administration's on a troubling new trajectory." The editorial went on to accuse officials of the Trump administration of making "bellicose statements."

The editorial added: "The administration hopes to scare North Korea into giving up its arsenal of are least 20 nuclear weapons and the missiles to deliver them."

LPR asks The New York Times: do you have difficulty with any steps taken by the administration to protect the country from North Korean attack?
