Trump is getting under the thin skin of Nork leader

Today’s speech is the direct result of US presidents allowing three generations of imbeciles North Korean despots think that they can a) do whatever they wish and b) they will be rewarded for bad behavior and c) the more outlandish their behavior the greater the reward.

What Kim Jong Un is experiencing is something very new to him and to his regime. Bad behavior is getting punitive action. He is not being treated as a player on the world stage, rather he’s being treated like a spoiled brat with a can of gas and a Zippo.

The key mistake he made was letting Trump know that the “rocket man” label is getting under his skin. All this ensures is that we will see more of it and we will see more inventive insults yet to come. Where will the goading lead? We don’t know but if we’re going to have to fight this guy, we need to do it now before he has a creditable nuclear force. Because then we will have to fight him and the carnage will be appalling.
Some recent polling is troubling.  It says that a majority of Americans oppose a preemptive strike.  Now using one under such a direct threat would be a huge mistake that would ensure greater casualties.

Trump's insults of "Little Rocket Man" has sent some poor soul in North Korea to an English thesaurus to find a new insult in their own repertoire.  They decided on "dotard."  The difference between Trump and the Rocket Man is Trump can laugh off the insult.
