To the Editor:

Re “Trump’s North Korea Retort: My ‘Nuclear Button’ Is Bigger Than Yours” (news article, Jan. 3):

A president who threatens nuclear war with a madman is a madman himself. It’s childish, it’s dangerous and it’s unconscionable.

Add to that his provocative comments toward Pakistan (“Trump Threat to Curtail Aid Is Dismissed by Pakistan,” news article, Jan. 3), which are sure to increase, not decrease, the number of extremists coming out of that country. The ignorance of this administration is unfathomable.
