Trump: I have a 'much bigger' button than Kim Jong Un

[Calista241]

Source: The Hill

President Trump on Tuesday said that the nuclear launch button on his desk is "much bigger" and "more powerful" than that of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un – and that his button actually "works."

"North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un just stated that the 'Nuclear Button is on his desk at all times,'" Trump 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!"

Trump's comments came after Kim said in a New Year's Day speech that he had a nuclear launch button at his desk, and that the international community would have to accept North Korea's status as a nuclear-armed nation as a "reality."

In that address, Kim also said he was willing to send a delegation to the Winter Olympics in South Korea in February and engage in talks with Seoul about easing military tensions between the two countries.

[UpInArms]

21. Dick waggers

Sigh

[humbled_opinion]

5. NUTZ

nuclear war starts over two guys comparing size, what a world, what a world.

[Still In Wisconsin]

11. Yup. And Dotard will probably masturbate to video of Pyongyang and Seoul in flames from his bunker.

[humbled_opinion]

16. Screaming WINNING !!!!!!!!!

[RKP5637]

[MustLoveBeagles]

[christx30]

25. Ego, pathological narcissism.

Six of one, half a dozen of the other.

[Still In Wisconsin]

10. You know, most of this is funny... except for the last four words "and my Button works!"

Reason: he has basically just guaranteed that Kim will try to prove that his "button" works too.

[briv1016]

13. So what doesn't he want us talking about?

Is Mueller about to release something?

[djacq]

14. Nuclear saber rattling turned into a dick contest.

[montana_hazeleyes]

17. You hit the nail

on the head, er, so to speak!

[BadGimp]

20. Indeed!

[RussBLib]

18. wow, that is so ridiculous

[nycbos]

19. How far are we away from this?

[JDC]

22. What the Fuck! Is this real?

[MFM008]

45. Yes

He actually said it.

[gopiscrap]

23. what a fucking idiot

[Crash2Parties]

24. South Korea doesn't care whose is bigger

...either way they're still screwed.

[RKP5637]

26. Seems like Trump wants to show Kim his big button. How pathetic this ass

in the WH is president.

[malchickiwick]

27. Why does he capitalize all those common nouns? Channeling his inner Nazi??

[Irish_Dem]

29. Trump's sexual and aggressive fantasies are now one and the same.

He is getting more dangerous.

[Judi Lynn]

30. "My butt is bigger."

[tinrobot]

31. He actually has a very tiny button, and is overcompensating.

[Anna Izmail]

32. This is all so weird.

I wish I could be a fly on the wall in the office of the North Korean president. Does that guy realize just how erratic and nuts president Trump is? Is anyone telling him just how dangerous this situation is? President Trump isn't sane and if Kim Jong-Un isn't careful here's going to lose his country. Unfortunately millions of innocent North and South Koreans will die in the war.

[GP6971]

33. Welcome to DU!!

Kim Jung-Un may be crazy, but he's not stupid. I wish we could say the same about Dotard.

[Anna Izmail]

35. Thank you. I've been lurking for months.

I'm kind of afraid Kim Jung-Un is clueless of how dangerous any republican president is. It's never a good idea for a dictator to antagonize America when we have a republican president. Republican presidents seem to look for excuses to start wars. A war was started with Iraq over alleged WMDs. North Korea doesn't have alleged WMDs. It has real ones that Kim likes to shoot over Japan and then brag about.

President Trump doesn't have the diplomatic skill to calm the situation down. I think he wants a war with N.K.
Hopefully the military is talking him out of it.

[YessirAtsaFact]

53. I dont know but wouldnt be surprised if the military just said NO

They don’t want a war and Trump looks crazier every day.

[lagomorph777]

58. Love it! Preferably the extra large size.

[TomCADem]

36. Kim Jong Un Has Also Painted Himself Into A Corner

If he backs down, he may be seen as weak and ineffective by those surrounding him who might try to topple him. For him, standing up to the U.S. is a personal matter of life and death. There is no heroism. If Kim feels that he might go down, he is going to take his entire country with him, since he might actually survive a nuclear war in some 100 foot deep bunker. Conversely, if he backs down, he fears that he could end up being dragged through the streets and sodomized like Quaddafi.

So, Kim could very well be behaving in a rational manner by "standing up" to Trump.

[Anna Izmail]

38. Yep, both president Trump and Kim Jung-Un after doing the same.

Both are flexing their muscles because they're afraid of their own people.

[TomCADem]

40. Not Really. Trump's Statements Have the Opposite Effect of Kim's

While Kim needs to match Trump insult for insult, Trump could very well be increasing the chance that he does not finish his Presidency if his statements cause more members of the public to question his basic competence. Trump has the benefit of a self-insulated right wing media bubble that spins even Trump's most outrageous statements, but he may get to the point where even Republicans like Romney might find that they get more bang for the buck by running against Trump, rather than with him.

[MFM008]

46. I expect a missile test

Tomorrow.

[MFM008]

51. Yup

....

[FakeNoose]

52. Well the rational move would be for KJU to contact South Korea

... and quietly make a "truce" with them and then tell Trump to stay the f**k out of their affairs. Seriously what does South Korea stand to gain by remaining loyal to the USA? All we're doing is forcing them to face the nutcase on their northern border, and we're taunting him and making it way worse.

Nobody wants a nuclear war, certainly not North Korea. They already know they'll get wiped out and so will South Korea.
It's Trump that's making this all possible, and he should just STFU.

[marble falls]

49. There are two nut-cake actors in this little play.

[UT_democrat]

34. I just called my Senators

And asked they stand up against this reckless tweet activity. Unfortunately they are Senators Hatch and Lee from Utah. This is beyond outrageous. It’s dangerous.

[wroberts189]

37. Lawrence O'Donnel on MSNBC ...

..Just nailed him hard on it ..quoting a diplomatic ambassadors assessment of him after a meeting with him and other diplomats : "This guy is insane"

[spiderpig]

43. Exactly. And I survived the McCarthy era, Nixon and the Cuban missile crisis.

I've never seen anything like it. At least I'm old now and can just shake my head. I pity young people who have to deal with this crap.

[Orange Free State]

39. Ha ha, I wont believe this without pictures and measurements!

In all seriousness, I do hope that saner people in both countries have disconnected both of their buttons. It is just ridiculous.

[FakeNoose]

54. Somebody should ask Cheeto why he never challenged Obama

Not that Obama would ever stoop that low. We all know who'd win that one!

[Initech]

41. Great. The fate of the world rests in the hands of two guys...

Who are in a literal penis measuring contest. Fuck!!!!!

[spiderpig]

44. To quote T.S. Eliot

This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a Tweet.

[truthisfreedom]

47. He said butt.

[Danmel]

48. I bet Trump's dog is bigger too (watch the video)

Oh right, the sociopath doesn't have a dog.

What is even scarier about the danger of the that's, is that it has become ho hum, business as usual. The normalizing continues.
