Overnight, after notable seismic activity measured on the Korean Peninsula, the North Korean government released a statement claiming that they had detonated a hydrogen bomb.
The statement went on to say that they are allegedly capable of attaching that type of bomb to a missile that is capable of reaching the mainland United States.
Whether or not — or to what degree — any of that may be true, we do know something big happened in North Korea overnight. And now, Donald Trump has reacted.

Here’s what The Donald had to say on Twitter about that alleged test of a hydrogen bomb, North Korea’s most serious and troubling development yet (below):
North Korea has conducted a major Nuclear Test. Their words and actions continue to be very hostile and dangerous to the United States…..

..North Korea is a rogue nation which has become a great threat and embarrassment to China, which is trying to help but with little success.

South Korea is finding, as I have told them, that their talk of appeasement with North Korea will not work, they only understand one thing!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 3, 2017
Trump is taking quite a bit of heat for criticizing South Korea — one of America’s biggest allies in the region, along with Japan — instead of going after just North Korea, but here we are.
No matter what happened last night in North Korea, and whether or not they truly have a hydrogen bomb (which would be a MASSIVE development), things are getting very serious on the Korean Peninsula.
Do we have a President capable enough to navigate an unprecedented world crisis?
