In a fiery speech at the United Nations last week, President Donald Trump claimed Kim Jong Un’s nuclear endeavors are equivalent to a “suicide mission” — to which North Korea responded by re-upping their threats and saying the US is actually the country vying for self-destruction.

These comments came from North Korean Foreign Minister Ri Yong Ho during a volatile speech in front of the UN Generally Assembly on Saturday.

Ri apparently took particular offense to Trump’s “Rocket Man” insult, saying:

“Due to his lacking of basic common knowledge and proper sentiment, he tried to insult the supreme dignity of my country by referring it to a rocket. By doing so however, he committed an irreversible mistake of making our rocket’s visit to the entire U.S. mainland inevitable all the more.”

1. Ri also called Trump "President Evil."

”‘President Evil’ is holding the seat of the U.S.

Calling this childish is unfair to children.

3. Ri also called him...

In his statements, Ri called the US president a “mentally deranged person full of megalomania” — clearly taking cues from Kim’s recently penned viral insult calling Trump “a mentally deranged dotard.”

2. Headline is misleading

He said Trump's insults made a strike all the more inevitable, which is not the same as inevitable.

4. Russian foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov . . .

. . complained that Trump and Kim are behaving like “children in a kindergarten.”

Trump may well be more than they bargained for.

5. If 45 gets us all killed I'm going to be pissed.

I may even write my congressmen.

What we need is a cage match. To the end.
