HANOI (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said in a tweet on Sunday that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un had insulted him by calling him “old” and said he would never call Kim “short and fat.”

Trump made the comment after attending the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Vietnam.

In a series of tweets he also said Chinese President Xi Jinping was “upping sanctions” on North Korea in response to its nuclear and missile programs and that Xi wanted Pyongyang to “denuclearize.”

During Trump’s visit to Beijing last week Xi reiterated that China would strive for the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula but offered no hint it would change tack on North Korea, with which it fought side by side in the 1950-53 Korean war against U.S.-led forces.

One of Trump’s tweets read: “Why would Kim Jong-un insult me by calling me ‘old,’ when I would NEVER call him ‘short and fat?’ Oh well, I try so hard to be his friend - and maybe someday that will happen!”~~~~~~~~~~~~LOL!!!

Kim called Trump an "old lunatic". I'm surprised the left didn't make hay of the fact that Trump did not complain about the "lunatic" part.

he would never call Kim “short and fat.”

LOL!!! Too funny. :) Great response, Mr. President!

the difference is, Trump managed to become an “old lunatic”
... the short fat guy will have to settle for lunacy because old age for him is a poor prospect.
