He urged nations to stop trading with North Korea
(CNN) Donald Trump sarcastically responded Sunday morning to insults issued by North Korea that described the US President as a "destroyer" who "begged for nuclear war" during his tour of Asia.

The North Korean statement also referred to Trump as a "dotard," a word meaning a very old person, and one the reclusive nation has used on him in the past.

"Why would Kim Jong-un insult me by calling me 'old,' when I would NEVER call him 'short and fat?' Oh well, I try so hard to be his friend - and maybe someday that will happen!" Trump tweeted.



Trump is in Vietnam as part of a nearly two-week tour of Asia, and North Korea's nuclear weapons program has been a major talking point with his Japanese, South Korean and Chinese counterparts.

"The weapons you are acquiring are not making you safer, they are putting your regime in grave danger," Trump said about North Korea during an address at South Korea's National Assembly in Seoul. "Every step you take down this dark path increases the peril you face."


He called on nations to stop financing and trading with North Korea.

"Together we have in our power to finally liberate this region and the world from this very serious nuclear menace, but it will require collective action, collective strength and collective devotion to winning the peace," Trump said.

North Korean officials, who said they'd be watching the visit, were quick to fire back Saturday. Pyongyang described Trump's trip as "nothing but a business trip by a warmonger to enrich the monopolies of the US defense industry."

"Trump, during his visit, laid bare his true nature as destroyer of the world peace and stability and begged for a nuclear war on the Korean peninsula," the statement said.

The harsh words between the leaders have escalated in recent months after North Korea threatened to launch missiles toward the US territory of Guam.

Trump has previously warned the isolated regime would "face fire and fury like the world has never seen."

During his trip to Asia, Trump attempted a symbolic stare-down of Kim this week at the heavily fortified border that separates North and South Korea. But heavy fog forced the cancellation of Trump's plans, and he was forced to turn back.

This is nice since I no longer have cable, but I'd much rather have my news from an honest angle
Or should I say straight honest truth. Can't even trust what Wikipedia spews let alone understand thier twisted expainations.

I understand.

Thanks. At least someone does.

CNN ( Clinton News Network)is so focused on Trump bashing and fake news that they overlook the very serious threat North Korea poses.Not just the direct threat of launching a missile at us or our allies but their exporting of nuclear weapon technology to Iran and other rogue nations.
It would not be a stretch that Kim Jung-Un would sell a nuclear bomb to ISIS if the price was right.Hopefully Trump can get enough nations together to stop all trade and isolate this tyrant before war becomes the only choice.

common Trump tactic....call someone "short and fat"

by claiming he would NEVER call someone "short and fat"

the goal is to get the words "short and fat" out there in print
similar to insulting someone online and adding a smiley face
or lol or just kidding to your insulting comment...

like this...Trump is a misogynistic pig....lol lol j/k j/k
it's all just in fun

Gotta love it .."I would never call him short and fat" ..the insult without ..the mark of a true wordsmith..

I voted for Trump, basically because I could never vote for Clinton. ( that Benghazi thing. I do not regret my vote.

that being said... you are the friggin President of the United States.. stop f**king tweeting.. learn to shut your mouth.. and lead.

and since you are cleaning up your act... do something with that hair.. what color is that anyway?

It sounds as if we finally gave Kim another child to play with ....

maybe next they can compare the kitty kats they grabbed or the fortunes they have amassed

sad state of the world and world leaders ...

Everything is part of the economic system, they are based mostly on an economic calendar and Mr. Trump is very good at inflating the market. an example of this you see in U.S. stock futures pointed to a reversal of some of this week's gains for Wall Street on Friday, as a delay in voting on a Republican tax overhaul kept investors on edge about its passage.

The Trump administration, will be the best 8 years
in American history.

hopefully better than the last 8...

Isn't it funny that Hilary is now making a career out of losing the election

Ahh.. the sound of " cha- ching..

The Bill and Hilary book and university tour.. skipping all the way to the bank.

not as funny as the current administration doing it while holding office instead of governing.

i ask you...
which should be of greater concern to us?

not as funny as the current administration doing it while holding office instead of governing.

The current administration is making a career about losing the election?

that was what my post was saying. That Hilary is making millions off of losing the election... that was my point.

How exactly is Trump using his office to make money?
Is he invading countries and rebuilding efforts are tax funded payouts to Trumpiburton?

Is he working on regulations and legislation with Pelosi and by some magic miracle his nephew for the first time picked the exact stocks which would be influenced by their decision (somewhat similar to how Pelosi's (and many others) family made a lot of money?)

Is Trump perpetuating a global environmental scare and reaping profit a la Gore?

Is Trump such a misogynist racist that the troops Obama sent to Africa are being re-purposed to capture slaves for the global sex trade profits going to Trump?

Is Trump colluding with Russia in the sale of nuclear weapon components for personal gain?

Are there reports of Trump getting personal kickbacks from companies repatriating manufacturing jobs or overseas funds?

Or is it just income from his vacation properties is increasing, or not dropping as quickly as estimated?
Is it a convoluted scheme? Like instead of governing he keeps golfing at his vacation properties, and more people are going to his resorts to see him, thereby increasing revenue?

How do you think is the "current administration doing it while holding office instead of governing?"
