Trump Literally Just Tweeted About the Size of His Nuclear Button, Telling Kim Jong-un His Is ‘Much Bigger’
‘I Too Have a Nuclear Button, but It Is a Much Bigger & More Powerful One Than His’ Trump Tweets
President Donald Trump has literally just tweeted about the size of his “nuclear button,” saying his is “much bigger” than North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un’s.Â
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!

The tweet is reminiscent of his battle with Senator Marco Rubio during the GOP primaries, when then-candidate Trump assured America he was well-endowed. “I guarantee you, there’s no problem,” Trump told the audience.
Tuesday night’s all-but vulgar tweet was one in a series of odd and disturbing tweets Trump has posted in the past week.Â
And just 20 minutes later, Trump sunk back to his reality TV show roots, tweeting he will be announcing “THE MOST DISHONEST & CORRUPT MEDIA AWARDS OF THE YEAR.”
I will be announcing THE MOST DISHONEST & CORRUPT MEDIA AWARDS OF THE YEAR on Monday at 5:00 o’clock. Subjects will cover Dishonesty & Bad Reporting in various categories from the Fake News Media. Stay tuned!

Many on social media are disgusted, others flabbergasted, and others worried:

Hears pundit saying president’s “sexual insecurity” is bringing us to the brink of nuclear war.

Kim Jong Un’s speech included what should’ve been interpreted as an off ramp through talks. This is so needlessly antagonistic and childish. https://t.co/Rpk8dOwlj7

Good lord. We’ve gone beyond infantile now. Feeding his base diversionary emotional pablum like this is so profoundly sub-presidential, it screams “Help me, I’m sinking!†https://t.co/tEjxxezTN0

We already polled on the Fake News Trophy you suggested in November for you.
Fox News won with 41% and no one else came within single digits. https://t.co/zqjIH1o6EI

UPDATE:
Democratic US Congressman Jim Himes weighs in, almost in real time:
“We’ve gotten to a weird place where it really doesn’t matter what the President of the United States says anymore, because it’s so bizarre, strange, not true,” says Rep.
