President Trump’s war of words with North Korea’s Kim Jong Un just went old school.
The North Korean leader fired off that he had a nuclear launch button at his desk, and wasn’t afraid to use it. He told the world in a New Year’s Day speech that they would have to accept a nuclear North Korea as a reality.
But Trump responded to the threat from the “little Rocket Man” as only he could.
“North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un just stated that the ‘Nuclear Button is on his desk at all times,'” Trump tweeted on Tuesday. “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 showdown tweet was posted just before North Korea reopened its border hotline with South Korea for the first time in two years. South Korea confirmed that the two had a 20-minute discussion, according to NBC News.
The North Korean leader seemed to be extending an olive branch of sorts by offering to send a delegation to the Winter Olympics in South Korea in February, in an effort to discuss easing military tensions between the two countries.
The president speculated that the move may signal “good news” but “we will see!”
Sanctions and “other” pressures are beginning to have a big impact on North Korea. Soldiers are dangerously fleeing to South Korea. Rocket man now wants to talk to South Korea for first time. Perhaps that is good news, perhaps not – we will see!

Naturally liberals went into a full meltdown over the president’s nuclear button remarks.
POTUS is so easily baited! KJU plays him like a pair of bongos and #Trump takes the bait every time! Shameful that America’s president is unhinged and cannot resist his compulsion to attack and have the last word. Grow up for crying out loud Mr. 45!

Trump just tweeted that he has a bigger nuclear weapon button than North Korea. We might just be doomed. He’s tweeting about nuclear war like it’s a PlayStation Game.

Trump has regressed from a foolish juvenile to a dangerous infantile. There is a way to tell Trump this behavior as president is unacceptable: Remove elected Republicans at every election, overwhelmingly, whenever and wherever, so long as Trump has power. https://t.co/dvhX2aan15

Trump tweeting about the nuclear button is the line for every American that actually cares about this country. Trump’s a danger to Americans across the globe, a danger to all of our allies, a danger to our military & law enforcement and probably a danger to himself. #ImpeachTrump

But Trump supporters wasted no time defending the president and reveling in the fact that he is NOT former President Obama.
I think the best part about Trump’s “Nuclear Button” tweet, is that all the snowflakes are losing their minds.
Not only did Trump offend Little Kim Jong Un, but he also sent the Left into Snowflake Meltdown mode!

After Trump’s button tweet, North Korea has agreed to open a border hotline with South Korea to discuss dialogue between the two
Obama never accomplished this.
Trump did it with one tweet.

Barack Obama released Taliban generals from Guantanamo back to the battlefield but the media is losing their minds because Trump tweeted about a button everyone knows he has

It’s great to have an ALPHA ( @realDonaldTrump ) back in the oval office and not a divisive, race baiting community organizer. #MAGA
