Is Miss Lindsey supposed to be one of the adults?

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) reportedly once suggested that President Trump encourage the Chinese government to assassinate North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and have him replaced with a general that the U.S. could control.

Graham reportedly made the recommendation during a meeting in the White House with Trump's national security team in September 2017, according to an excerpt from veteran journalist Bob Woodward’s book, “Fear,” as first reported by The Daily Beast.

The news outlet said that, according to Woodward, the meeting on North Korea included Defense Secretary Jim Mattis and National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster and occurred shortly after Trump called Kim "little rocket man" last fall.

A spokesman for Graham, Kevin Bishop, declined to comment on the book excerpt to The Hill. But Bishop acknowledged to The Daily Beast that Graham has tried to persuade Trump to take a more hawkish approach to foreign policy.
