NORTH KOREA SAYS AMERICANS ARE MORE SCARED OF DONALD TRUMP THAN KIM JONG UN

BY TOM O'CONNOR ON 11/11/17 AT 10:47 AM

After President Donald Trump again escalated his war of words with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, Pyongyang argued Thursday that the U.S. leader's citizens were more concerned about his actions than those of his authoritarian rival.

During a stop in South Korea as part of his first presidential tour of Asia, Trump issued a warning to North Korea: "Do not underestimate us, do not try us." North Korean officials responded Wednesday, telling CNN they've "heard enough" of the U.S.'s "mad dog leader." Later, the regime took a different stance, with the ruling Korean Workers' Party newspaper Rodong Sinmun appealing directly to U.S. citizens, saying they and the people of North Korea were all victims of Trump's policies.

"Trump's hysterical behavior brings only fear and uneasiness to the U.S. society," the commentary read, according to the official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).

"The U.S. and all other countries in the world can never be free from nightmare of nuclear war as long as Trump is allowed to go at large and the hostile policy toward the DPRK is continued," it added, using to the country's official diplomatic title: the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

Where are the Repugs? Why do the NKoreans have a clearer view of how the majority of Americans feel about Trump, than the members of his own Party (Rhetorical Question cause we know the answer).
