Remember when Trump... bragged that his nuclear button was “bigger and more powerful” than Kim Jong-un’s?

During a period of heightened tensions with North Korea, Trump tweeted about his “much bigger & more powerful” nuclear button.

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 sent social media into a state of agitation, with some arguing that Twitter should not allow for “calls for nuclear war” on its platform.

The nuclear button is not to be confused with the red button Trump installed on his desk to summon soft drinks.
