North Korea to Donald Trump: Delete Your Account – GOOD Magazine

History books are filled with stories of how terrible wars were started. The assassination of Austrian archduke Franz Ferdinand triggered WWI. Hitler invadingPoland and the bombing of Pearl Harbor aretwo tragic catalysts forWWII.Its hard to imagine how future historians will one day frame a looming conflict with North Korea and the United States: You see, there was this thing called Twitter.

Weve all known that@realDonaldTrumps Twitterfeed is inaccurate, poorly spelled, dopey, reckless, and dangerous in its whimsical abuse ofpresidential power that might one day lead to impeachment. But now, were realizing just how immediately dangerous his 140-character claptrap actually is.

A nation thats been building costly nuclear arsenals like Trump would a chain of overpriced hotels accused Trump of building tensions with his aggressive tweets that are making trouble.

Its absurd for a country that has been testing mass weaponry as a potential threat to the United Statesfor years to source Trumpsaggressive social media practices. Especially when they could just as easily point to the fact thatTrump approved what he called anarmada of aircraft carriersto Korean waters with Jaws-likemenace.

But the Twitter feed it is. Which meansat this particularly precarious, terrifyingmoment in American history, the only response now is to quote the words of the very wise, almost-Commander in Chief Hillary Clinton to Donald Trump not long ago:
