Donald Trump Labels Kim Jong-Un 'Rocket Man' In Series Of Unguarded Tweets
telegraph.co.uk ^ | 17 SEPTEMBER 2017

Posted on 09/17/2017 8:17:19 AM PDT by Helicondelta

Donald Trump let loose on Twitter Sunday with a shoot-from-the-hip volley of posts referring to North Korea's leader Kim Jong-Un as "Rocket Man" - and picturing himself taking out Hillary Clinton with a golf ball.

The US leader spoke Saturday night with South Korea's President Moon Jae-In, pledging joint "steps to strengthen deterrence and defense capabilities and to maximize economic and diplomatic pressure on North Korea," according to the White House.

Mr Trump's own account of the conversation, which kicked off an unbridled salvo of early morning tweets, struck a less diplomatic tone.

I spoke with President Moon of South Korea last night. Asked him how Rocket Man is doing. Long gas lines forming in North Korea. Too bad! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 17, 2017

He then launched into half a dozen retweets of internet memes celebrating his Make America Great Again campaign theme, topping it off with a GIF montage of himself taking a swing at a golf ball and knocking out his erstwhile Democratic rival Hillary Clinton.

It applies, as I think Kim has more in common with Elton John than is let on. Operative word here being ‘common’.
Pre-flame note: I think Rocket Man is a great song.

“And I think it’s gonna be a long, long time
Til touchdown brings me round again to find
I’m not the man they think I am at all
Oh no, no, no
I’m a rocket man”

Perhaps President Trump thinks these lyrics fit Kim Jong Whatever.

Elton John will be filing a lawsuit on Monday...

Which will go nowhere.

picturing himself taking out Hillary Clinton with a golf ball

This deserves comment, too. Picture it.

Does dog meat, or any other popular NK food cause severe flatulence.....while we’re discussing “Rocket Man”?

Can't agree with this."Crooked Hillary" is absolutely fine but this pig has brought the world to the brink of what could be a world war so flippant nicknames don't work.

"Dangerous Psychopath" would work IMO...lots of characters however.

The president can resort to ridicule if he wants to.
The media do nothing but ridicule him. F*ck the media if they don’t like Trump ridiculing a maniac dictator.
