Trump takes a dig at N Korean leader, says I would never call Kim Jong-Un ‘fat and short’

Donalad Trump AVUS President Donald Trump has said he would never call Kim Jong-Un “short and fat”, after months of trading personal insults and threats of war with the North Korean leader.

“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 from Hanoi, the latest leg on his marathon tour of Asia.

North Korea is extremely sensitive to any remarks — even if not meant seriously — that it sees as disrespectful of the country’ ruling Kim dynasty, whose members are revered as near deities.

Since becoming president, Trump has engaged in an escalating war of words with Kim, trading personal insults and threats of military strikes and raising concerns about an outbreak of hostilities.

Over the past week, Trump has urged Asian leaders to take a united front against the threat posed by the isolated North, warning at APEC that the region “must not be held hostage to a dictator’s twisted fantasies”.

Late on Saturday, Pyongyang hit back, calling his Asia trip “a warmonger’s visit for confrontation” and saying it would only serve to accelerate Pyongyang’s push for nuclear statehood.
