During a press conference that was supposed to offer additional details on the rescue of two American airmen shot down over Iran last week, the 79-year-old president veered into gloating over North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un’s apparent affinity for him.

“Kim Jong Un, who I get along with very well, as you know. Do you notice he’s said very nice things about me?” Trump asked a jam-packed White House briefing room.

“He used to call Joe Biden a mentally re---ded person,” Trump went on. The president then doubled down on his use of the slur, repeating: “Joe Biden, he said he’s a mentally re---ded person.”

“But to me, he likes Trump,” the president bragged. “And do you notice how nice things are with North Korea?”

VIA A GOOGLE AI SEARCH:

Yes, Kim Jong Un famously called Donald Trump a "dotard" in September 2017.

The insult was part of an unusual first-person statement released via the North Korean state news agency (KCNA) in response to Trump's speech at the United Nations, where he mocked Kim as "Rocket Man".

Key Details of the Exchange:

The Specific Quote: Kim stated, "I will surely and definitely tame the mentally deranged U.S. dotard with fire".
Definition: A "dotard" is an archaic term for an elderly person who is weak-minded or senile.
Translation: The original Korean word used was "neukdari," a common derogatory term for a "useless" or "demented" old person.

Historical Context: This occurred during a period of high tension in 2017 characterized by a "war of words". While relations later improved with summits in Singapore (2018) and Hanoi (2019), North Korean officials revived the "dotard" insult in late 2019 after Trump again used the "Rocket Man" nickname.
