Twitter Buzz:

Trump may have the bigger button, but that hasn’t stopped Kim Jong Un from trying to push it. An article in the North Korean leader’s flagship newspaper, Rodong Sinmun, surmised that brisk sales of journalist Michael Wolff’s “Fire and Fury” were due to “rapidly surging anti-Trump sentiments” around the world and “foretell Trump’s political demise.” Internet satirists are speculating about how much Kim himself might be enjoying the book, as a photoshopped image of Kim reading Wolff’s book went viral on social media, according to Bloomberg’s Balance of Power.

Best of Late Night:

“According to The Washington Post — which has been keeping track, I guess — yesterday Trump told his 2,000th lie since taking office. So happy Lie2K, everybody. Two thousand lies in 11 months. He’s averaging 5.6 false claims a day, which is impressive, considering the fact he’s only working about 2.6 hours a day.” — Jimmy Kimmel

“Before Trump puts together these new libel laws in place, I just want to say, Donald Trump is the illegitimate love child of a racist manatee and a deflated balloon. Donald Trump set fire to the Hindenburg and once told me on the record he enjoyed the movie ‘Suicide Squad.’ See you in court.” — Stephen Colbert

“A Democratic congressman is introducing a bill that would force presidential candidates to take a mental health exam. It is called the Too Little, Too Late Act.” — Jimmy Fallon
