Say this for Donald Trump — if he does bring on nuclear apocalypse, at least he made it funny. Every amateur Freudian with a media platform is now dissecting his latest ‘mine is bigger than yours’ exchange with Kim Jong-Un, perhaps not realising that the joke is on them. Here is what Trump tweeted:

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!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 3, 2018

It may make people feel clever to say how stupid that tweet is. But, as always with Trump, one should try read behind the idiocy. Ignore the sheer silliness, try to get your head round the fact this man is leader of the free world, and you can see that Trump is not in fact bragging about his manhood or even the extent of his military power.
