        I'm laughing but it's pretty darn sad when Kim Jong Un puts a U.S. president to shame. Now Trump knows what it's like to be mocked. #dotard

        That implies some level of intellectual curiosity. No way he looked it up. He had an intern do it and threw a tantrum when they told him

        Def 1-ups Trump on vocab. And logically called man who threatened to ANNIHILATE their country 'mentally deranged'. Which is crazier? U.S.😡
