Rucker, Philip. “Trump to North Korean Leader Kim: My ‘Nuclear Button’ is ‘much bigger & more powerful’.” The Washington Post, 2 Jan. 2018, www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2018/01/02/trump-to-north-korean-leader-kim-my-nuclear-button-is-much-bigger-more-powerful/?utm_term=.fba4e2701de3. Accessed 4 Jan. 2018.
President Trump tweeted about the United State’s nuclear power in response to Kim Jong Un’s statement about North Korea’s nuclear power during his New Year’s Day speech. During his speech, Kim mentioned how he could hit the United States with his nuclear power, and he also said that he had the power to launch the nuclear weapons at any time using his “nuclear button”. In retaliation, Trump responded on Twitter, “I too have a Nuclear Button, but it is a much bigger & more powerful one than his, and my Button works!" This is part of a much larger argument between the United States and North Korea that some believe will lead to a nuclear war. Trump additionally reintroduced “Rocket man” - his nickname for Kim - while showing concern about reduced tension between North and South Korea.
