Donald Trump’s nickname for Kim Jong Un is ‘Rocket Man’ – our favourite 20 responses
It’s now official – North Korean leader Kim Jung Un will forever be known as ‘Rocket Man’ after Donald Trump drew inspiration from Elton John in his United Nations address today.
When we say ‘forever’ that could be, like, another three days or so.

When I saw "Rocket Man" trending I was upset because I thought Elton John had died. Turns out, it just means we're all going to die. Phew!
