North Korea responded angrily on Thursday by threatening to call Trump a senile dotard. The U.S. president “has lost politeness to the highest dignity of our republic and dared to use metaphors,” said Choe Son Hui, North Korea’s vice foreign minister, according to the Korean Central News Agency. ADTrump also said this week that the United States is prepared to use its military against North Korea if it has to, which has also angered Pyongyang. She then unleashed an insult in return — or the threat of one, which comes to the same thing. “If he uses statements and expressions that intentionally amplify the atmosphere of confrontation at this time of crisis, we will have to diagnose that the dotard started to be senile again,” she said.
