I wanted to write something about this, but I don't know where to start.
I'm just...I don't know. I mean, how do you not get that "The Button" is a metaphor? What "analysis" is needed? Are there really people out there who think the President has a big red button on his desk that launches all the missiles?
Apparently, according to NBC News, we're all supposed to believe that this tweet was literal:
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!
