Elton John praised former President Donald Trump’s “little rocket man” nickname for North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un as being “brilliant.”
In an interview with Variety, the 77-year-old singer was asked how it felt when Trump nicknamed the North Korean dictator “little rocket man,” alluding to his own hit song “Rocket Man.”
“I laughed, I thought it was brilliant,” the singer explained. “l just thought, ‘Good on you, Donald. The Rocket Man, yeah.’ Donald’s always been a fan of mine, he’s been to my concerts many, many times.”
As Breitbart News previously reported, Trump gave the North Korean leader that nickname in 2017 in response to North Korea “testing ballistic missiles and advancing its nuclear program.”

The Mark Knopfler description of George Michael would fit here...
Got his own jet-airplane? -check
Is a millionaire? -check
Must be one...
Can you hear me, Tampon Tim?
I know that’s from “Space oddity” by David Bowie, but I couldn’t resist.
Elton is a gay icon. Gay icons cannot be canceled.
He was too big
Something positive from the sodomite. Good for him.
Whako Man for Tampon Tim.
LOL.
Elton’ s got “F*CK You” money many times over.
He can tell everyone to “Go F*CK Yourself!”
Just follow Elon.
I didn’t even know who Mark Knopfler was ( and I liked Dire Straits in the 80s) until I saw him perform on YouTube. Amazing. Too bad he retired.
When you have Elton’s money and have been knighted, you can pretty much tell anyone to kiss off. :)
Retired from touring, but Mark Knopfler is still busy in the studio.
Mark Knopfler series of songs(live) with EmmyLou Harris is a great set.
Every time I hear Rocket Man on the radio I think of lil rocket man..and yes Trump was BRILLIANT to come up with that nickname..our world’s enemies knew not to f*ck around with Trump..when Trump told the head of the Taliban “Is this your house, if you kill one American your house goes boom” he meant it..when Biden says “Dont” everyone laughs, when Trump speaks, everyone listens
Yep.
To a point.
I read this this morning, but my stupid tablet reset, so I couldn’t post it. I was delighted. I’m guessing Elton John really wants Trump re-elected: 1) MAGAnomics, 2) World peace, 3) eliminate Biden Migrant Crimes by enforcing our Southern Border, 4) ad infinitum! John had to know he’d be attacked, but he doesn’t care. Elton John’s friend Trump.
Money for nuthin’
As a Conservative I’m not a big supporter of Elton John.
I will say that he seems to be a rather level headed guy
in political circles. He didn’t endorse Trump, but he did
go out of his way to side with him here. He realized what
the interviewer was trying to do, and he stopped him in
his tracks.
As a guy who has seen the total left pull away from Trump,
it’s always a nice thing to see a Left leaning person refuse
to remember a man who came to a lot of his concerts, and
treated him with respect.
Kudos to Elton John here. He deserves it.
