A tweet drafted by President Donald Trump ― but never posted ― had the potential to lead to war with North Korea, veteran journalist Bob Woodward said on Sunday. But a backchannel message from North Korea said bringing family members home would be considered a sign of an impending U.S. attack. At the time, Trump and North Korean President Kim Jong Un routinely traded threats and insults. Trump derided Kim as “Little Rocket Man” and bragged about having a “much bigger & more powerful” nuclear button. Trump said the book was “already discredited” and has “so many lies and phony sources.”
