Stocks in Limited Slide on North Korea Threats, Trump's "Fire and Fury" Response

This is more kabuki theatre.

Trump cannot declare war on North Korea. According to the constitution (remember that?) only congress can declare war.

So forget it. The entire North Korea scenario is probably more deep state phoniness. The markets didn't seem to notice much, if at all.

Boorish, is what it all is.
