This is an interesting and mildly humorous story in amidst of the tension between America and North Korea. On September 21st, Kim-Jong Un, leader of North Korea, in a response to President Trump's United Nation speech, repeatedly insulted Trump while addressing his remarks. In his response, Kim Jong Un compared him to a frightened dog and a gangster fond of playing with fire. He also later called him a "dotard', an arcane term used for a weak minded elderly person. The response made history as
South Korea's government said it was the first such direct address to the world by any North Korean leader. This only further goes to show how outlandish and ridiculous this tumultuous time in the world is as we are now at the point where two leaders of some of the biggest and most powerful countries in the world, are hurling insults at each other like preteens.

  1. I agree, this is a funny scenario since that north korean leader is also the same therefore making himself a hypocrite.

  2. I agree, although the confusing thing about all of this is that he himself is the same so he's not really able to be held to a higher stature if anything he's a hypocrite.
