Americans on Tuesday mused that it would be a ālong, long time before other countries respect this nation againā, after Trump branded North Korea dictator, Kim John-Un a ārocket manā.
The nickname, in reference to the dictatorās trigger happy approach to launching missiles in recent months, prompted a cache of memes to be fired out across social media, which also played on the title of Elton Johnās 1972 hit, Rocket Man.
The song also quite fittingly includes the line, āburning out his fuse up here aloneā.
Trump, in a speech to the United Nations general Assembly in New York, said that Kim is āon a suicide mission for himself and for his regimeā.
He further warned if North Korea doesnāt end itās nuclear weapons programme he will have āno option but to totally destroyā the country.
While the fiery words were Trumpās most aggressive to date, that didnāt stop people on social media making fun of the Republicanās choice of words, or the ease at which Kimās war fetish could be illustrated.

Elton Johnās Rocket Man lyrics:
She packed my bags last night pre-flight
Zero hour nine AM
And Iām gonna be high as a kite by then
I miss the earth so much I miss my wife
Itās lonely out in space
On such a timeless flightAnd I think itās gonna be a long long time
āTill touch down brings me round again to find
Iām not the man they think I am at home
Oh no no no Iām a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here aloneAnd I think itās gonna be a long long time
āTill touch down brings me round again to find
Iām not the man they think I am at home
Oh no no no Iām a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here aloneMars aināt the kind of place to raise your kids
In fact itās cold as hell
And thereās no one there to raise them if you did
And all this science I donāt understand
Itās just my job five days a week
A rocket man, a rocket manAnd I think itās gonna be a long long time
āTill touch down brings me round again to find
Iām not the man they think I am at home
Oh no no no Iām a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here aloneAnd I think itās gonna be a long long time
āTill touch down brings me round again to find
Iām not the man they think I am at home
Oh no no no Iām a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here aloneAnd I think itās gonna be a long long time
And I think itās gonna be a long long time
And I think itās gonna be a long long time
And I think itās gonna be a long long time
And I think itās gonna be a long long time
And I think itās gonna be a long long time
And I think itās gonna be a long long time
And I think itās gonna be a long long time
