The sitting President of the United States, Donald Trump, is actively taunting North Korea on Twitter over who has the bigger, more powerful nuclear button.

On September 23, Trump tweeted: “Just heard Foreign Minister of North Korea speak at U.N. If he echoes thoughts of Little Rocket Man, they won’t be around much longer!” Little Rocket Man is Trump’s preferred insulting moniker for North Korea’s leader, Kim Jong-un.  Yesterday, following a New Year’s speech by Kim in which he bragged about his country’s nuclear capability to hit the U.S. mainland, Trump had this to say on Twitter:

“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!”

These juvenile taunts over a nuclear war in which millions of innocent civilians and children could die ensure that the historically low confidence that Americans have in the Federal government will persist. According to the polling organization, Gallup, “the federal government has the least positive image of any business or industry sector measured, Congress engenders the lowest confidence of any institution that Gallup tests, and Americans rate the honesty and ethics of members of Congress as the lowest among 22 professions in Gallup’s most recent update.”

Is Congress taking any action to stop this reckless nuclear war mongering on Twitter? As you might surmise, this institution, which enjoys a 12 percent confidence rating from Americans according to Gallup, has taken no action to stop the President from destroying the credibility of the United States on Twitter or Tweeting the country into nuclear war. That job has been left up to a grassroots organization in San Francisco called Resistance SF.
