Two-thirds of Americans oppose launching a preemptive military strike against North Korea, with a majority trusting the U.S. military to handle the escalating nuclear crisis responsibly but not President Trump, a new Washington Post-ABC News poll finds.
Roughly three-quarters of the public supports tougher economic sanctions on North Korea in an attempt to persuade it to give up its nuclear weapons, while just about one-third think the United States should offer the isolated country foreign aid or other incentives.
The Post-ABC poll finds 37 percent of adults trust Trump either a great deal or a good amount to responsibly handle the situation with North Korea, while 42 percent trust the commander in chief not at all. By comparison, 72 percent trust U.S. military leaders, including 43 percent saying they trust them a great deal.
A scant 8 percent of Americans surveyed think North Korean leader Kim Jong Un can act responsibly.

And that's while he is still eight sheets to the wind.
Trump falls beneath everybody except Hannity (which is the same) and Bolton
