You don’t mess with a Trump tweet.
Monday was a holiday for many, but not for Donald Trump’s Twitter account.
Seven tweets adorned the feed, each with its own intensity. The last two may have the greatest international reverberations.
In one, the president-elect fired a warning shot across the brows of North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il.
“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 tweeted.
North Korea states a lot of things. Not all — some might say not many or even any — resemble actual truth.
True, the post-truth drift isn’t isolated to North Korean shores, but to suddenly make Americans fretful about a potential North Korean attack seems like a scene from “The Interview. ” The North Korean remake of “The Interview,” that is.
The next to feel the Trump burn was China.
