‘The People of This Country Should Be Concerned About the Mental Fitness of the Leader of North Korea’
After President Donald Trump goaded Kim Jong-un in a Tuesday night tweet claiming he has a bigger nuclear launch button than the Pyongyang dictator, White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders Wednesday told Americans they should be concerned about the North Korean leader’s mental stability.
“The people of this country should be concerned about the mental fitness of the leader of North Korea,” Huckabee Sanders told reporters in the afternoon’s press briefing.Â
But she also indirectly warned Kim Jong-un.
“This is a president who’s not going to cower down,” she said, adding that by taunting Kim Jong-un Trump was “protecting the American people.”
Huckabee Sanders insisted, however, that the president’s tweet was not taunting at all.
“I don’t think that it’s taunting to stand up for the people of this country,” she said.Â
“I think it’s just a fact,” she added, that Trump’s nuclear button is bigger than Kim’s.
She was then asked if Trump knew there is not an actual nuclear button, and, after stating it was a “fact” Trump’s is bigger, said, the president “is very well aware” there’s not actually a button.
On Tuesday Trump tweeted that his button that could launch a nuclear war “is a much bigger & more powerful one” than Kim Jong-un’s.Â
On social media, it seems more people are worried about the mental fitness of the leader of the United States than about the mental fitness of the leader of North Korea.
