The U.S. President kicked off this recent round of insult exchanges when he referred to Kim as a “Rocket Man” on a “suicide mission,” during his speech at the U.N. General Assembly on Tuesday. A few days later, Kim released a unprecedented statement in response, in which he called Trump a “dotard” — a person in a state of “senile decay marked by decline of mental poise and alertness” — and “mentally deranged.”
Trump threw the next punch; he took to Twitter to call the North Korean leader “obviously a madman who doesn’t mind starving or killing his people.”
Kim Jong Un of North Korea, who is obviously a madman who doesn’t mind starving or killing his people, will be tested like never before!
“Does this guy have anything better to do with his life?” Trump tweeted, adding: “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!”
In August, North Korea’s official Korean Central News Agency described Trump as a leader who frequently tweets “weird articles of his ego-driven thoughts” and “spouts rubbish” to give his assistants a hard time, the Associated Press reported at the time. The KCNA also criticized South Korea’s Defense Minister Song Young-moo for “pinning hope on that mad guy,” referring to Trump.
And earlier in September, Trump described North Korea as “a rogue nation” and “embarrassment to China.”
