Secretary of State Mike Pompeo reportedly brought a CD with the Elton John song “Rocket Man” to give as a gift to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un during his visit to the country.
Pompeo arrived in North Korea on Friday amid talks between the two countries over denuclearizing North Korea.
Pompeo brought two gifts for Kim, including a letter from President Trump and the CD, according to The Chosun Ilbo, a top newspaper in South Korea.
Last year, amid escalating rhetoric between the two countries, Trump repeatedly referred to Kim as “Rocket Man” and “Little Rocket Man.”
A diplomatic source in Washington cited by Chosun Ilbo explained that the “Rocket Man” CD was “the subject of discussion during Trump's lunch with Kim” when they first met for a summit in Singapore last month.
According to the outlet, when Kim referenced Trump’s nickname, Trump asked him if he’s familiar with the song. Trump later asked Pompeo to bring a copy of the CD during his subsequent trip.

Rocket Man
by Elton John
She packed my bags last night pre-flight
Zero hour nine AM
And I’m gonna be high as a kite by then
I miss the earth so much I miss my wife
It’s lonely out in space
On such a timeless flight
And I think it’s gonna be a long long time
‘Till touch down brings me round again to find
I’m not the man they think I am at home
Oh no no no I’m a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone
And I think it’s gonna be a long long time
‘Till touch down brings me round again to find
I’m not the man they think I am at home
Oh no no no I’m a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone
Mars ain’t the kind of place to raise your kids
In fact it’s cold as hell
And there’s no one there to raise them if you did
And all this science I don’t understand
It’s just my job five days a week
A rocket man, a rocket man
And I think it’s gonna be a long long time
‘Till touch down brings me round again to find
I’m not the man they think I am at home
Oh no no no I’m a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone
And I think it’s gonna be a long long time
‘Till touch down brings me round again to find
I’m not the man they think I am at home
Oh no no no I’m a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone
And I think it’s gonna be a long long time
And I think it’s gonna be a long long time
And I think it’s gonna be a long long time
And I think it’s gonna be a long long time
And I think it’s gonna be a long long time
And I think it’s gonna be a long long time
And I think it’s gonna be a long long time
And I think it’s gonna be a long long time
Brilliant!
Another insignificant trinket that will drive the American liberal crazy!
Fitting!
Send him a “Benny and the Jets” CD. Those lyrics will really confuse him.
Rocket Man would probably have enjoyed some Japanese porn even more, but that wouldn’t have driven the libtards as crazy as this gift.
Or, I am the walrus.
Norks will never be the same.
too funny..........Everyone knows that the President is into nicknames....Now Kim understands. Of course, as usual, you can take the nickname any way you want.
That does not require a drive, a putt will do.
That’s so unpresidential! I just love it!
Saw a video of his rally last knight, he was having the time of his life. The guy oozes confidence.
Hopefully Mike is reminding the young man that he lives on borrowed time, and that DJT is not Obama and that he is not Madeline.
Actually I find that to be how real men conduct tactful and productive discussions. Barber shop insults are actually ways of shoring up relationships among men.
I’m sure its probably considered an “inside joke” between the two of them now. All the pearl-clutchers are scared that Trump will cause some type of war by being uncouth, but I believe this is just a little bit of fun between the two leaders.
Oh Noes!! We have given North Korea SO MUCH and gotten NOTHING in return. How can Trump do this to the US and the WHOLE ENTIRE WORLD!!!! What is he going to hand over next?
