North Korea mocks USA and ‘old LUNATIC Donald Trump’ in nuclear war threat
NORTH Korea has mocked Donald Trump as an “old lunatic” who spouts a “loud of rubbish” in a bizarre rant against the USA.
North Korea said America was “frightened” by despot Kim Jong-un and warned them to back off or face “destruction”.
A statement published in a Pyongyang-based newspaper hit out at Donald Trump, who has adopted a hard-line stance during this year’s nuclear crisis.
The opinion piece in Minju Chosen, one of North Korea’s several propaganda rags, told Mr Trump to temper his policy with the hermit state.
The piece claimed America was terrified after a series of North Korea missile tests this year, the most recent of which used Kim’s most powerful weapon yet.
It said: “Frightened by the DPRK's successful test-fire of ICBM Hwasong-15, old lunatic Trump talked about ‘way of serious approach’.

North Korea expert: US has to be concerned about missile threat
“War maniacs of the US are urging ‘Congress to discuss the issue of ‘preemptive attack’ on the DPRK, referring to the need to ‘withdraw American citizens’ from south Korea, only to make a war against the DPRK an established fact.”
The article said this was a “loud of rubbish” and claimed America’s “nuclear war maniacs” suffered from “death-bed symptom”.
It said the USA needed to “behave with reason” or face “destruction”.
The statement concluded: “The Trump cult's talk about ‘military counteraction’ is just ridiculous as it is incapable of judging what the declaration means.
“We warn him once again that if his regime resorts to military counteraction after losing discretion, it will face a tougher countermeasure by the DPRK and fall deeper into a quagmire.

They had better cool their heads heated by war hysteria and be prudent if they don't want to meet bitterer disgrace and destruction
“The Trump-led US authorities should behave with reason, well aware of where they are standing and what they are doing.
“They had better cool their heads heated by war hysteria and be prudent if they don't want to meet bitterer disgrace and destruction.”
Earlier this year Donald Trump promised to deliver "fire and fury" to North Korea if they did not cease their nuclear acceleration programme.
