Zedd, Diplo, Stephen Colbert, Chrissy Teigen & Other Celebs Blast Pres. Trump for Nuclear Button Tweet
Pres. Trump kicked off the new year with a blizzard of tweets taking aim at a wide variety of targets, including the media , Pakistan , Democrats and, of course, The New York Times . But the tweet heard 'round the world was a broadside aimed at North Korean leader Kim Jong-un in which Trump mocked the country's dictator (while taking shots at the "depleted and food starved regime") and threatened "I too have a Nuclear Button, but it is a much bigger & more powerful one than his, and my Button works!"
Experts quickly pointed out that there is not, technically, a "Nuclear Button" on Trump's desk, but more importantly that the president's bellicose rhetoric is a scary, unprecedented provocation against an unpredictable regime that could lead to a real global crisis. The bizarre tirade stoked fears among many Twitter users, including a number of musicians and entertainers who reacted to Trump's big button rattling with a mixture of shock, confusion, mockery and sheer terror.
