Trump Trolls North Korea And China On Twitter

By Karoli Kuns — January 2, 2017

Earlier today, Donald Trump decided to troll North Korea via Twitter. I'm not sure who is more erratic -- Trump or Kim Jong-Un -- but only one of them takes to Twitter to start up some international incidents.

North Korea just stated that it is in the final stages of developing a nuclear weapon capable of reaching parts of the U.S. It won't happen!

He took a swipe at China, too.

China has been taking out massive amounts of money & wealth from the U.S. in totally one-sided trade, but won't help with North Korea. Nice!

The replies were swift:

.@realDonaldTrump Sweetie, this is the perfect example of something you save for your Presidenting meetings, not glib little tweets.

.@realDonaldTrump And just sing: When North Korea threatens us with nuclear war, have a national security briefing even if it's a bore!

@realDonaldTrump that's why most Americans don't trust you to handle a crisis. We know you are emotionally disturbed, anxious, unwell.

The thing you have to keep in mind about @realDonaldTrump is that he's very, very stupid. People keep forgetting this. Not sure why.

.@realDonaldTrump This twitter diplomacy is real classy, you orange moron.

Here's the scary part:

@realDonaldTrump and Kim Jong-un: two babies but with a single thought.

Trump generally uses Twitter to distract people from something else he doesn't want us to pay attention to.

Meanwhile, he still hasn't been briefed on the Russian hacks. Has lots of time to troll North Korea, not so much to catch up on what it's like to deal with national security without the Twitter machine by his side.
