If You're Not Extremely Concerned by Trump's North Korea Tweet, You Should Be

By now, we've seen our fair share of shockingly tone-deaf tweets from Donald Trump, but the President's latest social media statements are even more alarming than usual. On Jan. 2, North Korea dictator Kim Jong Un revealed that he has a "nuclear button" on his desk at all times and that the "entire United States is within range" of the country's destructive weapons, NBC reported on Jan. 2. As soon as Trump caught wind of Jong Un's threatening words, he took it upon himself to fire back an extremely childish response - on Twitter, naturally. POTUS tweeted, "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!"

No, you're not in The Twilight Zone - this is actually a reality. The President of the United States sized up another world leader on the magnitude of his nuclear missile button, just as a toddler does while comparing their toy size with another young child. Sit back and let that sink in for a moment.

Besides the fact that this tweet proves our president is essentially a 4-year-old trapped in a 71-year-old's body (with similarly juvenile capitalization skills), it's also concerning that he's taking such outright jabs at a leader who has weapons of mass destruction at his fingertips. He just turned a gravely serious matter - one that involves the well-being of all Americans - into a joke, and it's frankly appalling. Needless to say, the entire internet took note of Trump's alarming "nuclear button" threat and expressed their concern over his audacity.

Many commented on how dangerous his words are.

Others took a more humorous stance to make light of the dreadful situation.
