That is Classic April fool's comment - "is he serious, must be a joke, right ?"
- Not a Presidential announcement

i don't understand why isn't there anyone to hold his hand, keep him from sharp objects & away from social media, it's bad enough that he has to give the press coverage.

i guess that means he can still tell a zebra 🦓 from a monkey 🙈
let's hope the pizza 🍕 isn't too close to that big red 🍄button on his desk

"..shots and violently kills"
He clearly doesn't even hear his own thinking.
All giggles aside, it is potentially dangerous to publically taunt a regime. If things did indeed spiral out of control, with or without any USA input - it could motivate a sleeper cell to seek revenge.
