North Korea’s Foreign Ministry was quick to round on Bolton Monday, with an unnamed spokesman quoted in state media as calling him a “war maniac” who has a “different mental structure from ordinary people.” “He knows that with nuclear, that’s never going to happen, only bad can happen,” Trump said. “He understands, he is a very smart man, he gets it.”
— Donald J. Trump May 26, 2019 Pressed about seeming to choose a brutal dictator over a fellow American, Trump doubled down on his initial tweet. “Well, Kim Jong Un made a statement that Joe Biden is a low IQ individual,” he said. “I think I agree with him on that.” “We understand each other very well, we’re very committed to each other as nations, so we have a situation where we have the best relationship that we’ve ever had with Japan, and we’re going to keep it that way,” he said.
Abe said Japanese companies had invested $24 billion since Trump took office, adding that energy companies had reacted to Trump’s “tax reform” by deciding to invest in Michigan, Alabama, Kentucky and other states.
