Twitter ignites over Trump’s North Korea tweet
In the wake of reports that North Korea tested another missile, President Trump tweeted Monday, in part, "North Korea has just launched another missile. Does this guy have anything better to do with his life?..."
The twitterverse was quick to respond, referring to the president's own tweets.
One user wrote, "'Does this guy have anything better to do with his life?' is the rhetorical question Americans ask each morning. About you, Mr. President."

Another tweeted, "Same could be asked of Trump. He has spent more of his presidency watching TV, rage tweeting, and playing golf than any of his predecessors."

Some responses were supportive, including, "North Korea should be very careful.... We finally have a strong President who will defend our country unlike Obama's weak leadership."
It's unclear what the president intends to do about North Korea, but it has long been acknowledged by experts that there really aren't any good options.
At a recent press appearance, Trump called the reclusive regime a "menace" and said, "The era of strategic patience with the North Korean regime has failed...and frankly that patience is over."
