Haha I know right? The best part is there is a non zero chance that Trump will mock KJU on Twitter for spelling ****** incorrectly which will make it even funnier.

The entire statement is incredible.

The speech made by the US president in his maiden address on the UN arena in the prevailing serious circumstances, in which the situation on the Korean peninsula has been rendered tense as never before and is inching closer to a touch-and-go state, is arousing worldwide concern.

Shaping the general idea of what he would say, I expected he would make stereotyped, prepared remarks a little from what he used to utter in his office on the spur of the moment as he had to speak on the world’s biggest official diplomatic stage.

But, far from making any remarks of any persuasive power that can be viewed to be helpful in diffusion tension, he made unprecedented rude nonsense no one has ever heard from any of his predecessors.

A frightened dog barks louder.

I’d like to advise Trump to exercise prudence in selecting words and be considerate of whom he speaks to when making a speech in front of the world.

The mentally deranged behaviour of the US president openly expressing on the UN arena the unethical will to “totally destroy” a sovereign state, beyond the boundary of threats and regime change or overturn of social system, makes even those with normal thinking faculty think about discretion and composure.

His remarks remind me of such words as “political layman” and “political heretic” which were in vogue in reference to Trump during his presidential election campaign.

After taking office Trump has rendered the world restless through threats and blackmail against all countries in the world. He is unfit to hold the prerogative of supreme command of a country, and he is surely a rogue and a gangster fond of playing with fire, rather than a politician.

His remarks which described the US option through straightforward expression of his will have convinced me, rather than frightening or stopping me, that the path I chose is correct and that it is the one I have to follow to the last.

Now that Trump has denied the existence of and insulted me and my country in front of the eyes of the world and made the most ferocious declaration of war in history that he would destroy the DPRK, we will consider with seriousness exercising a corresponding, highest level of hard-line countermeasure in history.

Action is the best option in treating the dotard who, hard of hearing, is uttering only what he wants to say.

As a man representing the DPRK and on behalf of the dignity and honor of my state and people and on my own, I will make the man holding the prerogative of the supreme command in the US pay dearly for his speech calling for totally destroying the DPRK.

This is not a rhetorical expression loved by Trump.

I am now thinking hard about what response he could have expected when he allowed such eccentric words to trip off his tongue.

Whatever Trump might have expected, he will face results beyond his expectation.

I will surely and definitely tame the mentally deranged US dotard with fire.

A frightened dog barks louder is a good one too. Not even SNL could come up with this stuff.

Trump should've hired the speech writer who came up with that...

Somebody needs to tell Trump that the fact that Seoul is 35 miles away from the border with South Korea means his threats are empty.

He wants to look macho for his stupid reactionary base but in politics being macho doesn't work. Those who don't take insults personally are the ones that succeed.

I'm not sure Kim Jong Un is a guy that became crazy with so much power or a really smart guy that has been trained his whole life , has smart advisors and contrary to the myths he is intelligent enough to take their advice fully aware that he needs them. Maybe it's a mix of both.

Oh I def think it's a mix of both. KJU is "Westernized" in comparison to his father and grandfather. He's hung out w/ Dennis Rodman for crissakes. Dude is just trolling Trump. He's basically mocking him in front of the entire world. No way other world leaders didn't laugh at the dotard remark.

It should be noted that, and this analysis isn't new instead just further confirms the ideas, KJU doesn't seem like he wants war and his statement very precisely doesn't condemn or threaten USA policy or culture or people and doesn't even condemn the trump administration in general. Rather, it's all focused on just trump.

I guess it's a sign of the times that I say, "Oh, so the crazy dictator only wants to harm ONE American, that American being the sitting president? Whew. Ok, yeah, that's fine, sure, whatev."

North Korea will obviously do something provocative in response to Trump speech and there is nothing Trump will be able to do about it. I'm not sure how this ends because the rational thing is for Trump to admit defeat, although he might negotiate something to let him safe face.

There will certainly be some warhawk types around him that push the idea that he will be praised as a decisive leader who finally had the guts to rid the world of the bad guy.

And it wouldn't be a Twitter meltdown without some mention of Hillary:

"The Russia hoax continues, now it's ads on Facebook. What about the totally biased and dishonest Media coverage in favor of Crooked Hillary?"

Seems like there's a lot to parse out here.
