Before they were international besties, United States President Donald Trump and North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un battled back and forth with put downs, name calling and threatening tweets. One of those tweets may have gone too far.

According to the new book Fear: Trump in the White House by Bob Woodward, the celebrated journalist famous for breaking the Watergate scandal, a tweet by Trump could have led to war with North Korea.

On CBS Sunday Morning, Woodward talked about a time when a Trump tweet "scared the daylights" out of Defense Secretary Jim Mattis and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Joseph Dunford.

Woodward told CBS:

He drafts a tweet saying 'We are going to pull out dependents from South Korea ... Family members of the 28,000 people there' At that moment there was a sense of profound alarm in the Pentagon leadership that, 'My God, one tweet and we have reliable information that the North Koreans are going to read this as an attack is imminent.'

Luckily they were able to put the kibosh on the tweet and avoid killing us all.



People found the revelation jarring.



But the revelation led to an even more disturbing realization.



Really? The tweets are screened? And all those other tweets cleared? Covfefe?

If those are the vetted tweets, what could Trump be saying when left unchecked?

Mom And Stepdad Go Viral After Forcing Adult Daughter To Sign Contract To Live At Home—And People Are Divided

In today's economy, it's becoming more common than ever before for adult children to continue to live with their parents after they graduate from high school, while they work their first job, or even while they go to college. Others, just as commonly, will return to their parents' home after going away for college or an internship.

Understanding the financial benefits, and sometimes necessity, of this, some parents use this arrangement to support their children while still trying to teach them something about life, like asking them to pay a little bit of rent, to cover a bill, or to help with groceries, and typically take on a few more responsibilities around the house.

Dem Rep. Hilariously Trolls Trump Official For Having No Idea How Solar Power Works In Viral Clip

Interior Secretary Doug Burgum was trolled by California Democratic Representative Jared Huffman after he, testifying before the House Natural Resources Committee, seemed to think solar panels are unreliable because they don't work when the sun goes down.

The sun produces heat and light through solar, or electromagnetic, radiation. Solar energy technologies capture that radiation and convert it into usable power. The two primary forms of solar technology are photovoltaics (PV) and concentrating solar-thermal power (CSP).
