Trump seems incapable of realizing that North Korea as an anti -U.S. bumper zone on China's border benefits China, and the collapse of the Kim regime would be a disaster for them. China wants North Korea on a leash, sure—but still snarling at the US. And the "wait until your dad comes home!" tone Trump is taking on…

He's not too sure of that nowadays, either. Does he live in New York? A Florida golf course? Maybe the White House sometimes?

Tillerson has said he plans to discuss a Syrian No Fly zone with Russia.

Trump responded to North Korea testing an ICBM by tweeting "Does this guy have nothing better to do with his life?"

Other international news: pro-Maduro protesters stormed the Venezuela National Assembly and attacked lawmakers from the opposition party. Two were seriously injured and hospitalized.

North Korea made Haley go to meetings on the Fourth of July! Can you imagine, the U N Ambassador working on a holiday that literally no other country in the U.N. celebrates? It's a real tragedy.

What's on Tonight: Netflix. Just…Netflix

As long as Trump isn't tweeting about it, neutral/ending the blockade ASAP. However, anytime Trump comments, it's explicitly supporting Saudi Arabia.

Yeah, anybody that knows how government works should have known "hire whoever you want, no questions asked" wasn't going to happen.

So Trumps attorney is now under investigation for fraud. What will his attorney be investigated for?

Missed opportunity for XXX Rock.

Politico is reporting that Tilerson has become frustrated that he does not have the autonomy he was promised, yelling at a White House staffer in front of Kushner and Preibus.
