Trump to Kim Jong-un: my nuke button is bigger than your nuke button
President Donald Trump responded to North Korean leader Kim Jong-un’s latest threats, saying that he has a "much bigger and more powerful" nuclear button. Trump’s remark on Twitter came after Kim warned the US on Monday that the nuclear button "is always on my desk." The North Korean leader called his nuclear deterrent "irreversible" and claimed it would prevent Trump from starting a war. "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 wrote on Twitter on Tuesday night.
