The orange clown Donald Trump managed to debase the office of the US President even further with a Freudian tweet claiming his "Nuclear Button" is bigger than North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's. 

It was apparently sparked by a Fox "news" report on Kim's New Year's address in which he said, "The US cannot declare war against us. The entire US territories are within our firing range and the nuclear missile button is right there on my desk."  But the Kim address also including an overture for discussions with South Korea, which Seoul responded to by ignoring the US and proposing its own talks on 9 January at the Panmunjom border crossing.

Like a toddler refusing to be upstaged by the South Korean leader's better sense, Trump on Tuesday evening tweeted with his small hands:  "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!"

Witnesses at the grave of Austrian father of modern psychoanalysis Sigmund Freud reported hearing knocking and a muffled voice saying, "Let me out!  I can explain this!"

While Trump's dwindling base no doubt enjoyed the red meat, most of the rest of the world was revolted by the spectacle of a moron threatening nuclear war in a "who's bigger" contest.

Senator Ed Markey of Massachusetts said, "Imagine being a servicemember or the family of a servicemember stationed in Korea and reading this.  This borders on presidential malpractice."

Congressman Eric Swalwell of California challenged Republicans to "help me put this lunacy in check" and to "make sure Congress has some say before he pushes that button".  

Hundreds of Twitter users called on the social network to delete Trump's accounts for violating the terms of service agreement against threatening violence in the form of nuclear war.

Singer Cher definitely got it right:  She called Trump "a nut job" and said of both Trump and Kim, "They're probably both the size of Tom Thumb!"
