Trump tells Kim Jong-un ‘My button’s bigger than yours’ and people are laughing/terrified
Donald Trump has been doing what he does best – threatening people on Twitter – but his latest salvo with Kim Jong-Un reached new comedic/apocalyptic heights (depending on your mood this morning).
North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un just stated that the “Nuclear Button is on his desk at all times.” Will someone from his depleted and food starved regime please inform him that I too have a Nuclear Button, but it is a much bigger & more powerful one than his, and my Button works!

What if Donald Trump gets confused with the nuclear war button on his desk with the someone get me a Diet Coke button on his desk?

This is Trump's level of calm after ten days off, seven days of playing golf.

For all of you sharing this fragile orb and premising your tomorrows on the notion that no two men in key positions of authority could be so small, empty and stupid as to risk the mass immolation of tens of millions in an adolescent dick-measuring contest, well, dream on, rubes. https://t.co/NTozS0zJZ9

Trump made the clearly outrageous nuclear button tweet on purpose. He's desensitizing the nation so that we tolerate more and more of his outrageous behavior. Soon it'll be so ordinary when he curtails our fundamental freedoms and rights.
Never underestimate a dictator.
