People are understandably focused on the button thing, but note well: he is responding, only now, to a speech Kim gave 48 hours ago. I’m less worried about the size of his button than his apparently garbled sources of intelligence on nuclear conflict matters. https://t.co/1J8dMz8M0s — PolitiTweet.org
