"Don't read too much into it."
During the campaign we were told, if Trump triumphed, to get used to WH officials saying ... "What the President meant was ... ". Every word ever uttered by every President of the USA has been endlessly analyzed around the world for nuance and veiled meaning. "Fire and Fury" are the words of a ratings mad game show host. After the globe is a glowing ember a 'splainbot will be heard repeating over and over ... "What the President meant to say was ...". This boob is an "A" grade menace!! A clear and present danger!

“Don’t read too much into it.”
President Donald Trump threatened North Korea Tuesday with “fire and fury like the world has never seen,” a line he likely came up with on his own, according to reports.
Reporters from The New York Times, Politico and The Washington Post all spoke to White House sources who advised not to “read too much into” Trump’s comments, which were “absolutely” Trump’s words and not those of his new chief of staff, Gen. John Kelly.

Trump's "fire and fury" threat to North Korea was "absolutely" his own wording, a WH official tells me, not reading a Kelly script.

Trump advisers found his NK comments “unexpected, but it wasn't surprising,” per WH official.

The Weekly Standard reported Wednesday that the White House, including the president’s national security team, did not help Trump prepare his remarks on North Korea, which were delivered ahead of a meeting on the opioid crisis in the U.S. and prompted by new reports that North Korea has escalated its nuclear program. The New York Times reports that a sheet of paper Trump appeared to be reading from as he gave the statement was actually a fact sheet on the opioid crisis.
