Trump: Presidents Obama, Clinton were ‘outplayed’ by North Korea – The Hill

When asked in an interview set to air on "Fox & Friends" Tuesday if a pre-emptive military strike is a possibility, as reported last week by NBC News, Trump wouldn't elaborate.

"I dont want to telegraph what Im doing or what Im thinking. Im not like other administrations, where they say were going to do thisin four weeks," Trump told Fox's Ainsley Earhardton Monday during the White House Easter Egg Roll.

"You read Clintons book. and he said, Oh, we made such a great peace deal, and it was a joke," Trump said. "You look at different things over the years with President Obama. Everybody has been outplayed.

Theyve all been outplayed by this gentleman," he continued, referring to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. "And well see what happens. I just dont telegraph my moves.
