The fourth part in our The Donald and The Nuclear series. The crazy lunatic with the odd hair style and long-range nuclear weapons is talking about "fire and fury". So naturally North Korea's Kim Jong Un threatened to fire four Hwasong-12 intermediate-range ballistic missiles into the waters around Guam, saying that Donald Trump was "bereft of reason." Aaron, Scott and Jeffrey survey the smoldering wreckage that was Jeffrey's marriage-saving vacation in wine country and try to find a happy note.
