Trump Refers to Kim Jong Un as ‘Rocket Man’ in Tweet

President Trump appears to have given Kim Jong Un a nickname:

I spoke with President Moon of South Korea last night. Asked him how Rocket Man is doing. Long gas lines forming in North Korea. Too bad!

And Twitter couldn’t quite believe this one:

Who or what is Rocket Man? https://t.co/bxpN9GJfX0

The thing about Rocket Man is: He's not the man they think he is at home. https://t.co/cbGzybfa0S
