I just learned that Trump has a bigger button then Kim. That’s comforting to know! ---

> [@DesertDog](#): > > That’s been floating around the interweb for a while now. I love comparing the “am I really hearing this?” expression on Tappers’s face while he’s hearing out Crockett out to the slack-jawed, deer in the headlights on Crockett’s when he informed the bai-bul is not required. I saw that on air when it happened. I thought at first that the video feed had frozen. Didn’t notice the clock was still running. ---

I thought Mark Kelly’s twitter response was awesome. > [@](#): > > As a pilot in the @USNavy, I was trained to deliver nuclear weapons. EVERYTHING we did with these weapons was deadly serious.

Also from Kelly on twitter, in response to Trump’s tweet about how he had been so strict on the airlines in 2017 that there were no airline deaths for the year: > > > Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump > [@](#): > > Actually, it’s @USDOT, @FAANews, & @NASA - and especially the airlines - who deserve credit for this. But if you’re going to take credit for zero airline deaths in 2017 then you should take responsibility for the tens of thousands of gun deaths, too. #lawsmatter ---

> [@John\_Mace](#): > > I just learned that Trump has a bigger button then Kim. That’s comforting to know! I think Kelly really should install a button on Trump’s desk. Big and red, with a sign that says “LAUNCH N KOREA NUKES. DON’T PRESS UNLESS YOU REALLY MEAN IT.” But all it would do if pressed is flash a light in Kelly’s office, letting him know that it’s time to get a net and a tranquilizer gun, and invoke the 25th Amendment. ---

And we’re off… > [@](#): > > …Actually, throughout my life, my two greatest assets have been mental stability and being, like, really smart.

Doesn’t everybody that gets elected president get elected on their ‘first try’? how many got elected on the ‘second’ try? ---

> [@simster](#): > > Doesn’t everybody that gets elected president get elected on their ‘first try’? how many got elected on the ‘second’ try? Presumably he is talking about getting elected the first time after running, unlike Hillary who ran also in 2008, 2016 and still didn’t win. Of course this claim has [as much truth](http://www.tvguide.com/news/donald-trump-presidential-campaign-timeline/) as any of his other claims. ---
