People on Twitter mocked President Donald Trump after he boasted that his nuclear launch button was “much bigger” than North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un’s.
Trump issued the taunt via Twitter on Tuesday night:
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
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!
It followed Kim Jong Un’s New Year’s address, in which he warned the United States against threatening his country.

Trump, at his desk with his finger over a giant red circle from a piece of a Twister mat: I swear to god I will press this giant button!

When young men become old men, the best acquire wisdom: The wisdom to know when to teach and when to learn, when to speak and when to listen, when to lead and when to follow, when to fight and when to make peace. You are age without wisdom, old man. I hope I’m never like you.

Others, however, saw the serious nature of Trump’s post, which they said could be interpreted as a threat of nuclear war:
