Here was Trump’s response earlier – we need a border wall with Mexico dammit!!!
After North Korea missile launch, it's more important than ever to fund our gov't & military! Dems shouldn't hold troop funding hostage for amnesty & illegal immigration. I ran on stopping illegal immigration and won big. They can't now threaten a shutdown to get their demands.

And Mike Pence about an hour ago:
The Kim regime in North Korea would do well not to test the resolve of this @POTUS – or the capabilities of the Armed Forces of the United States. pic.twitter.com/62KvheZUpc

Here’s more:
We hadn't heard of a "Hwasong-15" before today. The intercontinental ballistic missiles launched in July were both Hwasong-14s. ("Hwasong" is Korean for "Mars")
