Do you think this tweet starts WW3

I doubt it. A simple tweet won't do it, you would need an official declaration that you will fire the missiles. And in that case we're fucked. I don't know about me, but the range of the radiation might even reach me.
A declaration could, in theory, be made by tweet. This isn't quite one, but there could be one in the future

Maybe. I think it's probably bait though.
It is bait, that much is obvious. That doesn't make the threat of action or retaliation any less concerning, though. Trump acts like he's an internet troll that exists in a vacuum, when in truth every character he types on Twitter has a very real political and diplomatic impact

Vacuum trolls are pointless. What's the point of trolling if there's nobody to troll? also trolls suck

This is a direct message to all Americans who read this.

Its time for you to get rid of Trump before he gets rid of you.

You guys fucked the world when you elected him. With Trump in charge its only a matter of time before the world is once again at war.

Dont let him be responsible for the death of millions because it is going to happen perhaps not now but some time in the future it will.

Stand up and be counted and get rid of the greatest threat the world has seen since since Hitler was in charge.

Our best shot at ousting him is to vote blue in the midterms this November

While his wording is definitely sensationalist, he has a very solid point. Trump thirsts for attention and validation and I'm not completely convinced that his narcissism wouldn't extend to starting an international war as a show of power

The biggest threat since Hitler? No.. He's more of a threat to his family than the world. Let's be real here.

Trump is in Putin's pocket, so to that extent I would say that it's effectively the same thing. Except Trump would try to take credit for it somehow

So, what you're saying is that Trump is being told to make threats AGAINST Russia? Seems legit.

No, I'm saying he's looking big and tough to hide the fact that he's effectively a puppet. I will repeat what I said earlier; Trump doesn't seem to understand that the stuff he says has any consequence outside of what he wants them to theatrically portray

I understand Freedom of Speech applies to all US citizens, including POTUS, but just because you CAN say something doesn't mean you SHOULD. Say what you want about Obama, but he at least had restraint, and NEVER risked the safety of the entire nation by insulting other leaders over social media. Grow the fuck up PedoCheeto.
