It is no secret that Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un are not fans of each other. Worse still, the two world leaders seem to love getting in each others’ faces.
Kim made a statement about the Nuclear might of North Korea which was a thinly veiled threat at the United states. He said; “The entire mainland of the US is within the range of our nuclear weapons and the nuclear button is always on the desk of my office. They should accurately be aware that this is not a threat but a reality.”
Donald Trump, not one to back down from a war of words was quick to respond and his response was shocking.
In his tweet, he said; “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!”
