President Donald Trump on Sunday continued his Twitter tirade against negotiating with “Rocket Man,” his moniker of choice for North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
“Being nice to Rocket Man hasn’t worked in 25 years, why would it work now?” Trump tweeted.
Kim is in his early thirties, though dates vary depending on the record, and has been in power since December 2011, for less than six years.
Being nice to Rocket Man hasn't worked in 25 years, why would it work now? Clinton failed, Bush failed, and Obama failed. I won't fail.

Earlier Sunday, Trump tweeted that he told Secretary of State Rex Tillerson to “save his energy” rather than negotiating with Kim.
“Save your energy Rex, we’ll do what has to be done!” Trump tweeted.
Tillerson on Saturday told reporters that the United States has “lines of communication to Pyongyang.”
“We’re not in a dark situation, a blackout,” he said. “We can talk to them, we do talk to them.”

…
Kim Jong Un is 33 years old. And trump is saying we were negotiating with an 8 year old when Bill Clinton was President.
Think on that use of language.
Now Young Master Kim came to power in 2011 after the death of his dad Kim Jong Il. That would make Young Master Kim 27 years old at the time of his ascendancy. Rather difficult to have spent the last 25 years hassling with this “rocket man”.
Trump’s the fool here it seems.
One point of order here. 25 years ago Bush senior was in office and soon to be followed by Bill Clinton. Our president is unaware of American history.
Resign, Rex. If he doesn’t need a State Department, what makes you think he needs you?
The only thing Donald will achieve that past presidents didn’t is in getting many millions killed and many more millions irradiated. Son of a Bitch.
He is right, of course. Failure (well, recognizing failure) is not an option. It’s not even a cognitive possibility.
Whatever happens, no matter how catastrophic, he will call it a victory. The “losers” will be the ingrates who fail to praise him. Or, even worse, the ones who don’t survive. Or are captured.
To trump an ingrate is somebody attending a Pilates class.
Somebody needs to take that man’s phone away.
