World politics have pretty much hit bottom.
Korea’s Foreign Ministry released a statement early
Saturday calling U.S. President Donald Trump "an old lunatic." It
also said that Trump’s mental state
justifies "building up our nuclear force."
Trump returned the jab with an insult of his own, calling
North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un "short and fat."
"Why would Kim Jong Un insult me by calling me ‘old,’
when I would NEVER call him ‘short and fat?’ Trump tweeted.
"Oh well, I try so hard to be his friend – and maybe
someday that will happen!" he said on Twitter.
Trump took the "far be it from me to call anyone short
and fat, but…" approach, taking this schoolyard war-of-words between two
world leaders to new heights.
The president made headlines on Monday when he declared the
United States’ policy of "strategic patience" with North Korea
"over." Trump made the comments during a joint press conference with
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzō Abe.
"The era of strategic patience is over," Trump
said about his position on North Korea. "Some people said that my rhetoric
is very strong, but look what’s happened with very weak rhetoric over the last
25 years. Look where we are now."
Trump has mentioned the U.S. policy on North Korea over the
past 25 years before and said, unlike his predecessors, he "won’t
fail."
"Being nice to Rocket Man hasn’t worked in 25 years,
why would it work now? Clinton failed, Bush failed, and Obama failed. I won’t
fail," Trump tweeted.
"Rocket Man" is Trump’s nickname for Kim Jong Un.
Sadly, while these two children are so busy trying to rank on each other, real people are suffering from Kim's nuclear testing program. And when one of them gets around to launching a nuclear weapon, it will be more innocent bystanders who pay the price.
I say, let's let the two of them fight it out mano a mano.
It would be fair-Kim is younger, but Trump looks to be in better shape and has the reach.
Plus it would make enough on pay-per-view to balance the Federal deficit.
What do you think, UFC?
