North Korea threatens to resume calling Trump ‘dotard’

do·tard
/ˈdōdərd/

noun

an old person, especially one who has become physically weak or whose mental faculties have declined.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea threatened Thursday to resume insults of U.S. President Donald Trump and consider him a “dotard” if he keeps using provocative language, such as referring to its leader as “rocket man.”

Choe Son Hui, the first vice foreign minister, issued the warning via state media days after Trump spoke of possible military action toward the North and revived his “rocket man” nickname for North Korean ruler Kim Jong Un.
=============================================
I thought only grade school kids called each other nasty names. Both of these guys should grow up.
 
Now I'm convinced that this is a planned distraction.
 
It was mistranslated from 늙다리미치광이 by the Korean state media, which literally means old legs in Korean. A cripple is the better word to convey the original meaning. Dotard is an obsolete word that is no longer in use.
