North Korea calls Trump a 'psychopath'

Source: The Times of Israel



Following death of Otto Warmbier, Pyongyang official newspaper says US president toying with preemptive strike

BY AFP June 22, 2017, 3:07 pm

SEOUL, South Korea — North Korea on Thursday called US President Donald Trump a “psychopath” as tensions soar following the death of American student Otto Warmbier, who was evacuated in a coma from North Korean detention last week.

Pyongyang’s official Rodong Sinmun newspaper said the US president was in a “tough situation” at home and claimed he was toying with the idea of a preemptive strike on North Korea to divert attention from a domestic political crisis.

“South Korea must realize that following psychopath Trump… will only lead to disaster,” an editorial carried by the paper said.

A series of atomic tests and missile launches since last year have ratcheted up tensions on the Korean peninsula, and Warmbier’s death has further strained relations between Pyongyang and Washington.

This must be the first time in North Korea's history that they have been out-crazied.

more disconcerting that our possibly fraudulently elected leader has such a thin skin that such a message could lead to disaster

Never in my life did I think I'd find myself agreeing with a North Korean crazypants dictator, who may actually be slightly less crazy than our own crazypants dictator.

Strange times indeed.
