"Rocket Man" is not an insult you idiot. [View all]

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.
