Trump and Kim sitting in a tree, S.N.I.P.I.N.G


Two plump peas in a pod.
Towards the end of his Asia tour, [Trump] sent a tweet from Hanoi that took the verbal jousting to a new level, taunting the North Korean leader over his height and weight.

[...]

An editorial in the ruling party newspaper Rodong Sinmun focused its anger on Trump’s visit to South Korea last week, during which he denounced the North’s “cruel dictatorship” in a speech to legislators in Seoul.

[...]

“The worst crime for which he can never be pardoned is that he dared [to] malignantly hurt the dignity of the supreme leadership,” the editorial said. “He should know that he is just a hideous criminal sentenced to death by the Korean people,” it added.

[...]

The editorial also took a dig at Trump’s failure to tour the demilitarised zone (DMZ) dividing the two Koreas – a traditional stop-off for senior US officials visiting the South.

Trump’s helicopter taking him to the DMZ had turned back after just five minutes due to bad weather – an explanation the newspaper dismissed.

“It wasn’t the weather,” the editorial said: “He was just too scared to face the glaring eyes of our troops.”

And check Kellyanne Conway the grown-up's response to this juvenile situation.
White House senior adviser Kellyanne Conway said Sunday that a tweet in which President Trump called Kim Jong Un “short and fat” was just a response to an earlier insult by the North Korean leader.

“What’s helpful in full context is a 13-day trip where the president is very focused on global security and combating terrorism and most importantly, containing a nuclearized North Korea,” Conway said on ABC’s “This Week” when asked if the tweet is helpful.

“And you think name-calling is helpful? Calling somebody short and fat?” host Martha Raddatz asked.

“I think that was the president just responding the way he does to somebody who insulted him first,” Conway said.

That's the point, Kellyanne. That's the point.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
