While much of the media Thursday remained helplessly fixated on the bug zapper known as Russian hacking, comedian Chelsea Handler was conscientious enough to alert citizens to a disturbing development involving North Korea and nuclear materials.
While Trump was busy tweeting out LL Bean ads, a report came out that N Korea has enough plutonium to make 10 nukes.

That news isn’t really shocking considering the number of nuke tests that North Korea has conducted over the past few years while Trump stood by and did nothing … seeing as he was a private citizen and all. Some other guy was president at the time …
Just wondering, who was president when they obtained this material?

this occurred while @BarackObama was on vacations and hitting many golf courses. Or is that on @realDonaldTrump too?!?

that's on Obama. He's been president while they have been making them

On the plus side, the North Koreans still haven’t quite got the hang of actually delivering those nuclear weapons where they’d like them to blow up, but they’re working on it, despite President Obama’s occasional release of a strongly worded statement.

Trump isn't President for another week maybe the current President should have dealt with this? @chelseahandler

He. Isn't. President. Yet.
Obama had a star studded party after a mass shooting in Florida, were you outraged?

Somebody should tell the current president, he might not be aware. He gave uranium to Iran and Russia, not North Korea

try to keep up. Obama gave it to Iran who sold it to NKorea. See how that works?

You haven't been paying attention to world news and politics for long, have you?

You're always on top of it. Thanks for your crack reporting on all the news that happened while Obama golfed.
