This guy can't handle sensitive information. He likes to brag too much. Like I said before, he handles everything like a 10 year old would when he's trying to impress a 12 year old.
Trump calls North Korea leader 'madman' who cannot be let on the loose: transcript
In a call last month with the Philippines' president, U.S. President Donald Trump described North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un as a "madman with nuclear weapons" who could not be let on the loose, according to a leaked Philippine transcript of their call.
Trump told Duterte in the April 29 call that the United States would "take care of North Korea," and had a lot of firepower in the region, although it did not want to use it, according to a transcript of their conversation published by the Washington Post and the investigative news site The Intercept.
The document included a "confidential" cover sheet from the Americas division of the Philippine Department of Foreign Affairs.
A senior U.S. official said the Trump administration did not dispute the accuracy of the transcript and declined to comment further.

The U.S. president told Duterte that Washington had sent two nuclear submarines to waters off the Korean peninsula, comments likely to raise further questions about his handling of sensitive information after U.S. officials said Trump discussed intelligence about Islamic State with Russian officials this month.
"We have two submarines - the best in the world. We have two nuclear submarines, not that we want to use them at all," Trump said.
