President Donald Trump answered an inflammatory statement from North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Un, calling him a “madman.”
“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!” Trump wrote on Twitter Friday morning.
The North Korean dictator responded to Trump’s provocative United Nations speech by calling the president a “a rogue and a gangster fond of playing with fire.”
“Action is the best option in treating the dotard who, hard of hearing, is uttering only what he wants to say,” Jong-Un continued in the statement.
Trump branded Jong-Un as “Rocket Man” after the dictator launched several test missiles, including two over Japan.
“The United States has great strength and patience, but if it is forced to defend itself or its allies, we will have no choice but to totally destroy North Korea,” Trump said during his speech to the United Nations. “Rocket Man is on a suicide mission for himself and for his regime.”
