President Trump met with the number two man in North Korea, Kim Jong Chol, at the White House today in anticipation of a summit meeting with his boss Kim Jong-un in Singapore later this month.

Kim Jong Chol, the former head North Korean head spy, brought along a letter from Kim Jong-un to hand deliver to Trump and the two posed for a publicity photo with the oversized envelope that the letter was sealed within.

The photo had the comical effect of making Trump’s hands look exceedingly small and Twitter, of course, had a field day with it. Here’s a sampling of the tweeted responses:
Kim seriously brought him a giant game show check letter. Man do they have him figured out. pic.twitter.com/AY4P39RQxr

The North Korean ‘letter’ looks like a novelty greeting card everyone reluctantly signed. pic.twitter.com/Uh78xtb7uv

I photoshopped myself with a regular-sized envelope next to trump with his giant envelope, then made myself bigger until they matched. pic.twitter.com/OWCeg4Mhbg

Is this a prank by Kim to make Trump’s hands look even smaller?

Is Trump going to send him back an even larger letter? https://t.co/fkAJF4KhXW

Thanks to all the Twitter wags who made us smile at a time when not much is seeming so funny. Let’s hope Trump learns from this experience and begins to speak softly and carry a big envelope.
