A World Crisis Demands More Than Self-Serving Rhetoric

In his 2018 New Year's address, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un stated, "The entire United States is within range of our nuclear weapons, a nuclear button is always on my desk. This is reality, not a threat." President Trump tweeted back, "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!"

The New York Times responded, "The president's tone...generated a mix of scorn and alarm among lawmakers, diplomats, and national security experts who called it juvenile and frightening for a president handling a foreign policy challenge with world-wrecking consequences."
