After Donald Trump’s poor showing in France on Armistice Day, Europe described him “ignorant and dangerous,” according to BBC. That is a bad combination. Trump’s latest tweet shows how his lack of knowledge can be truly dangerous to the U.S.

In his tweet, Trump continued to gnaw away at one of the pillars of a true democracy, the First Amendment’s guarantee of the freedom of the press. POTUS claimed that a story about “North Korea developing missile bases is inaccurate:”

‘The story in the New York Times concerning North Korea developing missile bases is inaccurate. We fully know about the sites being discussed, nothing new – and nothing happening out of the normal. Just more Fake News. I will be the first to let you know if things go bad!’

Another reason Trump’s tweet was dangerous is that he took the word of a North Korean dictator, who has brutalized and starved his people, over the word of his own intelligence people. Given that the president of these United States lied an average of 30 times per day prior to the midterms, he must assume that The New York Times is equally corrupt.

That was not the case however. Victor Cha, longtime North Korean expert’s, team that studied the satellite images and said:

‘It’s not like these bases have been frozen. Work is continuing. What everybody is worried about is that Trump is going to accept a bad deal — they give us a single test site and dismantle a few other things, and in return they get a peace agreement (to formally end the Korean War.)’

Trump said:

‘(He) would then declare victory, say he got more than any other American president ever got, and the threat would still be there.
