Kim Jong Un—<a class="TrackingLink LinkWrapper" href="http://www.thedailybeast.com/trevor-noah-is-terrified-of-north-koreas-missiles">launched a ballistic missile</a> that crossed over Japan’s Hokkaido island. </p><p>The nation of Japan had to go as far as sending out warning messages to terrified residents of Hokkaido to take cover. According to Kim, this latest test/display of force, which was roundly condemned by the United Nations and the international community, was “the first step of the military operation of the KPA [Korean People’s Army] in the Pacific and a meaningful prelude to containing Guam.”   </p><p>“I do think it’s an important story that deserves continuing coverage because the fate of the world may literally hang in the balance,” said <em>The Daily Show</em>’s Trevor Noah of the North Korean threat. </p><p>He added, “But people weren’t talking about the nuclear missile that Kim Jong Un tested because Melania Trump apparently did something much worse. Yeah, you see, she went to Houston wearing high heels.”</p><div class="Snippet"></div><p>Yes, first lady Melania Trump chose to accentuate her <em>Top Gun</em>-esque bomber jacket and trousers with 4-inch Manolo Blahnik stiletto-heeled designer shoes. Her choice to don wildly impractical luxury footwear while visiting a state ravaged by Hurricane Harvey, where families have lost all their worldly possessions, was (understandably) roundly criticized by the media and public. And unlike Barron Trump, Melania <em>chose</em> to be first lady, <em>chose</em> to plagiarize her Republican National Convention speech from Michelle Obama, and <em>chose</em> to <a class="LinkWrapper LinkWrapper--external" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSTx1ZODEcQ">go on television and back up</a> her husband’s racist birtherism crusade against the first black POTUS. She is not an innocent victim.
