Trump’s deeply personal reaction to North Korean insults is a break with tradition
[DAWN] IN a string of tweets fired off on Sunday morning from Hanoi, Vietnam, President Donald Trump...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... responded with sarcastic insults to a recent message from the  North Korean government that had referred to him as "old".That's called for in Juche. "Why would Kim PudgeJong-un ...the overweight, pouty-looking hereditary potentate of North Korea. Pudge appears to believe in his own divinity, but has yet to produce any loaves and fishes, so his subjects remain malnourished... insult me by calling me ’old,’ when I would NEVER call him ’short and fat?’" Trump wrote in his tweet, referring to the leader of North Korea’s ruling dynasty. "Oh well, I try so hard to be his friend ‐ and maybe someday that will happen!" After our own equivalent of a Songun Army First policy. The message marks an unusually personal escalation of the tensions between the United States and North Korea over Pyongyang’s weapons programme. It is also another sign of the change in rhetoric used to address North Korea since Trump took office: though North Korea has long been known for hurling bellicose insults at world leaders, rarely have those world leaders responded in kind. Of course, Trump is a not your average world leader. The current president is a pugnacious social media user often willing to respond with his own harsh words when he feels wronged. As a spokeswoman for his wife, Melania Trump, put it earlier this year, when Trump is attacked "he will punch back 10 times harder". "Sea of Fire, baby!" Posted by: Fred 2017-11-14 |
