That look says it all...

White House Chief of Staff John Kelly shares our disdain for the reckless comments made by our Commander in Chief.

Kelly either has a debilitating migraine or, like the rest of us sensible Americans, he just can't believe what he's hearing out of Donald Trump during the president's address at the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday.

Here's a sampling of what Trump had to say:
"We will stop radical Islamic terrorism." A senior White House official later excused the comment: "Just an exhausted guy," the official had said.
 "totally destroy North Korea" This one didn't go over well with the other dipolomats in the room. "You could feel a wind had gone into the room when he said that. People were taken aback," a senior UN diplomat told CNN.
It's never a good thing when Trump's own administration has to walk back his statements or when the rest of the world cringes at the ignorance he spits out of his mouth.

For those that don't understand the far-reaching effects of Trump's threats:
"That every expert has acknowledged that a US military operation against North Korea would set off chaos across the Korean peninsula and potentially drag China into the conflict is, to Trump, besides the point. Sounding tough -- no matter whether or not we can back up that tough talk without starting a world war -- is an end in and of itself."
Here's a real doozie"
"Authority and authoritarian powers seek to collapse the values, the systems, and alliances that prevented conflict and tilted the world toward freedom since World War II."
That one is rich considering his attacks on the free press and his political opponents, which mirror those of authoritarian regimes.
