"Rocket Man" is not an insult you idiot.

[JohnnyRingo]

Just ask Howard "Froot Loops" Wolowitz, the astronaut character on Big Bang Theory who would have given all for that moniker. The proper rejoinder would have been "Rocket Boy" to focus on his childish insignificance.

As it is, Un could use propaganda that claims great respect for his missile program, so successful that Donald Trump even calls him The Rocket Man. Sarcasm neither works on the internet nor translation. Expect Kim Jung Un to take the podium to Elton John's hit.

The problem is Trump thinks it polled well due to the press coverage, something he used during the campaign in choosing juvenile names for his opponents.

8. But if they see this version it could mean WW3

2. You make a good point

Being called "The Rocket Man" by the president of the US would be prestigious for Kim Jun-Un (not sure how to spell that). I only pray that Un chooses to understand it--or at least pretend to understand it--that way.

3. He thinks he's clever

therefore he won't let it go. He's a one-note type of guy.

6. The cleverest boy in the entire third grade!

At least, that's how President Trump styles himself. It's a good thing he has an endless supply of toadies to tell him, "Good one, Boss!"

7. He just spews RW talk radio BS

Not that I've heard "Rocket Man" but he routinely says what is said d on talk radio and Fox News.

5. I'm sure North Koreans are intimately familiar with Elton John's body of work.

What with it being banned and all.

Much useful. Very propaganda.
