Did ‘lunatic’ fit the bill?

President Donald Trump recently took offense to Kim Jong Un referring to his speech in South Korea as “reckless remarks by an old lunatic.”

In response, Trump tweeted, “Why would Kim Jong-un insult me by calling me ‘old’ when I would NEVER call him ‘short and fat?”

One would hope that this war of words doesn’t escalate into World War III, but it is heartening to see that Trump apparently agrees with the word “lunatic” since he doesn’t seem to take offense at that word.
