N. Korea: Trump tweets 'weird articles,' 'spouts rubbish'
SEOUL - North Korea on Tuesday described US President Donald Trump as a leader who frequently tweets "weird articles of his ego-driven thoughts" and "spouts rubbish" to give his assistants a hard time.
The North's official Korean Central News Agency made the comments in response to tough talk in Washington and Seoul over threats posed by Pyongyang's nuclear and missile programs.
In the same commentary, KCNA also criticized South Korea's "puppy-like" Defense Minister Song Young-moo, who it said was "running wild" while relying on the "master of the White House." Song recently ordered the South's military to be prepared to "immediately and sternly punish" any kind of provocation by North Korea, which has caused hostility with two intercontinental ballistic missile tests last month and a threat to lob missiles toward the US territory of Guam.
"Trump spouted rubbish that if a war breaks out, it would be on the Korean Peninsula, and if thousands of people die, they would be only Koreans and Americans may sleep a sound sleep," KCNA wrote, ridiculing Song for "pinning hope on that mad guy."
