This is not normal.This is not funny.Seriously-Is there a rational adult on the inside who would intervene & rescind an unstable individual's order to PUSH that Nuclear Button?(On both sides-on both sides..)#TerrifyingTauntingTyrants #ArmageddonAnxietyAgain https://t.co/I9reRu9q38

When Blabbermouth Don talks about who has the bigger nuclear button, I think we all know what he's talking about. It's your basic dick-measuring contest. Sad!

On the 28th, my wife and I welcomed a son into this world. I'm a blessed man. My children are my all.
This moment was made bittersweet when my own President threatened nuclear war by saying "I have a bigger button than you."
What world will my children live in when I'm gone?

Trump just tweeted that he has a bigger nuclear weapon button than North Korea. We might just be doomed. He’s tweeting about nuclear war like it’s a PlayStation Game.

This isn’t the first time Trump has talked about having a button in his office. Back in April, he told the Financial Times he has a red button that sits on his desk which he presses to summon Diet Cokes— his beverage of choice, which he drinks a dozen of daily.

On the plus side, a big red cartoon-style “Nuclear Button” does not actually exist— It’s an expression. It’s actually a 45-pound aluminum briefcase called “the nuclear football” which goes everywhere with the president and contains an instructional guide on launching 900 nuclear weapons. On the downside, the president doesn’t need approval from anyone— including Congress or the military— to authorize a strike.
Fingers crossed we at least get to see the next season of GoT before we are bombed into oblivion.
