Trump wants China to put a 'heavy move' on North Korea, whatever that means
Donald Trump wants to China to go "heavy" on North Korea, but it's up to you to figure out what exactly that means.
North Korea launched an "unidentified ballistic missile" on Tuesday, which landed in waters east of the Korean peninsula, reported CNN.

Trump has been looking for increased sanctions on the hermit state, and in response to the launch he tweeted that he finds it "hard to believe that South Korea and Japan will put up with this much longer," and wants China to put a "heavy move" on North Korea.
Your guess on what exactly "heavy move" means is as good as ours.
North Korea has just launched another missile. Does this guy have anything better to do with his life? Hard to believe that South Korea.....

....and Japan will put up with this much longer. Perhaps China will put a heavy move on North Korea and end this nonsense once and for all!

Maybe it's a wrestling term? Considering that recent and now infamous CNN tweet by Trump, it wouldn't be surprising.
In Beijing, Seoul and Tokyo, hundreds of powerful people are debating the translation of "put a heavy move." https://t.co/JJUtlsm8br

"put a heavy move on" is not a phrase. You're a national embarrassment. https://t.co/oLJH29gq2V

"A heavy move" is an impressive WWF-inspired addition to the language of geopolitics. https://t.co/gdxhoN7BIW

The phrase does however point to one, if not the most infamous incident involving Trump, in the eyes of some people on Twitter.
That being the leaked audio in which he talks about where he "moved heavily" on a woman, and later boasted how being a star allows one to grab women "by the p*ssy."
As I recall, "put a heavy move on" was how Trump described grabbing women's pus*ies on that crazy bus video. So that's his advice to Xi?! https://t.co/CPL1h0iOWA

Trump on pursuing women: "I moved on her very heavily."

Perhaps that "heavy move" means military action.
(2) In context, Trump's reference to a "heavy move" by China can only refer to military action—which makes his tweet doubly inappropriate.
