Kim, unlike some who were insisting that "Rocket Boy" would've worked better than "Rocket Man", got the reference and returned the serve. I'll give him that.
That was kinda funny. Also probably media coverage Trump was hoping for. Trump gave Kim Jong Un months of treatment where he effectively elevated his status in international affairs. In the beginning there were no insults or put-downs of Kim Jong Un. There were definitely threats, but he and North Korea were always referred to in an almost worthy or respectable adversarial role. Now Trump is treating him with mockery and ridicule. If he wants to be elevated again Trump might be able to use that as leverage in bargaining. Though ultimately for anything lasting we need a willing China to enforce it on North Korea.
The satire writer at the New Yorker makes a funny, and everyone believes that it was actually said by the fat boy. I'm pretty sure the fat boy has never listened to Elton John, and would never understand the reference.
I thought it curious that the MSM immediately changed Trump's "Rocketman" to the less catchy "Rocket Man."
I'm pretty sure the fat boy has never listened to Elton John, and would never understand the reference. I would not bet on this. The Fat Kid has very extensive collections of American and European memorabilia.
Kim-Jon wears his war wound like a crown He calls his child Jesus 'cause he likes the name And he sends him to the finest school in town Kim-Jon, Kim-Jon likes his money He makes a lot they say Spends his days counting In a garage by the motorway
He was born a pauper To a pawn on a Christmas day When the New York Times Said God is dead and the war's begun Rocket Man had a cow today
I thought about the Shatner, Chris Elliott, and Family Guy references too. (Rehajm beat me to it)
Imagine a world where a comedian, pretending to be Kim, has Kim make fun of Trump, by putting on an orange wig, and then pretends to be a weird Trump doing a poor Shatner, to the roaring applause of his generals dressed in Chicago Bulls unis.
Ok, not funny, I know. But in which country would the comedian be Brave
Honky Cat indeed. Next step up for little Pudgy Wudgy is to call Trump a White Devil. He needs to pick up a little vocabulary from Malcolm X and Elijah Muhammed, then throw in a little New Black Panther Party shtick. Maybe Dennis Rodman can tell him how to get some game in the name calling contest. He's got a long way to go to catch up with The Donald in that regard.
But looking at Whoa Fat --can't call him "little" Whoa Fat, I'm thinking. "If this shmuck's daddy wasn't dictator of North Korea, the little shmuck would have been beaten up for his lunch money every day of his school life." I mean, in a just world, that's what happens to guys like Whoa Fat.
Okay, we've all had a good chuckle. Now time to get serious. Tell the North Korean generals that unless within 48 hours they (1) deliver Fatso's bloated carcass to us at the South Korean border, and (2) agree unconditionally to give up their nuclear weapons and ballistic missles, North Korea will face "prompt and utter destruction."

Okay, I laughed.
Oh my, all hell will break loose when someone calls somebody a "doody head"
Heh.
Still not funny - NoKo prison camps for deplorables.
Andy Borowitz is the worst humorist in America.
Snigger.

"Rocket Man" is funnier.
A good but not great insult. Had it been hurled first it might have taken the prize but alas it was copycat sarcasm and thus failed sarcasm.
Well, Kim Jong-Un is nothin' but a Tiny Dancer.

Rodman offered him some good whitey names.
Wait! This is fake news.

Shame he didn't call him "Goodkat"...
GOODBYE YELLOW CAKE ROAD!!!!
Elton will be issuing a statement about this, as soon as Bernie Taupin writes it for him.

Time to finish this. Bring on Shatner.
"Elton will be issuing a statement about this, as soon as Bernie Taupin writes it for him."
LOL
Didn't Trump say he'd make Kim like a candle in the wind?
Way more potential in "someone shaved Trump's wife tonight".
Kim-Jon wears his war wound like a crown
He calls his child Jesus 'cause he likes the name
And he sends him to the finest school in town
Kim-Jon, Kim-Jon likes his money
He makes a lot they say
Spends his days counting
In a garage by the motorway
He was born a pauper
To a pawn on a Christmas day
When the New York Times
Said God is dead and the war's begun
Rocket Man had a cow today
Levon by Elton John (1971)
Nonapod - maybe he should call him a "Tony Danza*"
*Friends reference
Madman Across the Water
But I'll bet Kim won't countenance any Philadelphia Freedom any time soon.
I don't care who you are. That's funny.
Though Elton John is more likely from his father Kim Jong-il's collections.
Hil' 2020: "The bitch is back!"
So they'll fight on Saturday night?
Good point, Dan. They're not Elton John lyrics, they're Bernie Taupin lyrics.
Even so, Trump is a lot funnier than Borowitz.
All The Young Norks Love Kim-Jong
"They said get back honky cat
Better get back to the woods"

There is supposed to be a back channel. Maybe this is code on front channel.

Need created for Honky Cat Vs. Rocket Man comic book.
Dan The Man is the man -- well done!
Well, Kim Jong-Un is nothin' but a Tiny Dancer.
Excellent escalation of the conflict!
