U.S PRESIDENT, DONALD TRUMP CALLS NORTH KOREA’S KIM JONG Un ‘A SICK PUPPY’
President Trump took another dig Wednesday at North Korean leader Kim JongUn, calling him "a sick puppy. Trump, in St. Charles, Mo., was in the
middle of calling the Republican tax plan "rocket fuel" for the U.S. economy, when he digressed and took an impromptu
shot at "little rocket man."
Earlier, Trump threatened new sanctions
against North Korea a day after the isolated nation launched its
longest-ranging intercontinental ballistic missile. The missile flew about 600
miles in a high trajectory, but would have had a range of 8,100 miles had it
flown in a flat trajectory, according to calculations by David
Wright, an expert at the Union of Concerned Scientists. That would
make it capable of reaching Washington, D.C. The personal slug fest between Trump and Kim has no precedent.
Since he became president, Trump has lashed
out at Kim, referring to him as "short and fat" and as a
"madman," and threatened to wipe Kim and his country off the face of
the earth if they attack the United States or its allies.Kim and his propaganda
arm have responded in kind, calling Trump a "mentally deranged dotard
(senile person)," saying he deserved the death penalty and vowing to annihilate the U.S. if it attacks North Korea.
Behind the over-the-top rhetoric is a
deadly serious dispute over Kim's development of nuclear weapons and missiles
capable of striking the U.S. mainland. Trump is determined to thwart Kim's
nuclear ambitions, and the North Korean leader appears equally determined to
keep his nuclear arsenal to deter a U.S. attempt to overthrow him.
