On Tuesday night, President Trump threw the shadiest shade that has ever been shaded.
North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un just stated that the “Nuclear Button is on his desk at all times.” Will someone from his depleted and food starved regime please inform him that I too have a Nuclear Button, but it is a much bigger & more powerful one than his, and my Button works!

I’m not saying it was presidential, but I’m not saying I have a problem with it. I think we Chicks all have different opinions on it, but I PERSONALLY don’t have a problem with that tweet. Is it immature and kind of childish and totally Trumpy in ever way imaginable? Sure. But I’m so sick of leaders sitting around and not saying anything. I’d rather hear this than silence. Silence hasn’t accomplished a darn thing. I realize this is the “real world,” but I’d also like to point out that Trump’s not bluffing. We’re ABSOLUTELY more powerful. And yes. Our “button” works.
Reporters asked Sarah Sanders about Trump’s remark, and her answer was absolutely flawless.
Reporter: "You just said that people should question the mental fitness of Kim Jong-un. So then isn't it dangerous for the president to be taunting him on Twitter?"@PressSec: "I don't think it is taunting to stand up for the people of this country." https://t.co/PjMdoDKnOP pic.twitter.com/sCYvj7VDwG

“I don’t think it is taunting to stand up for the people of this country.”
Bam. Neither do I, Sarah.
She also addressed the Bannon drama.

.@margbrennan: "We know that [Wolff] was here, so who gave him access to the WH & what was he here for?" @PressSec: "So far from what I can tell, of the…~dozen interactions that he had with officials at the WH, I think 95% were all done so at the request of Mr. Bannon." pic.twitter.com/hjOryVEnZ1

"I think ‘furious,’ ‘disgusted’ would probably certainly fit when you make such outrageous claims and completely false claims against the President, his administration & his family." Sanders on Trump's reaction to Bannon's comments https://t.co/KZIigTgZSj https://t.co/xzNCWQU7Qk

Also, there was one point where Sarah threw in a friendly jab at the media, and it was adorable. You can catch it around the 9:35 mark.
Love Sarah. LOVE.
