What is a "dotard?"

[Don2 (Don1 Revised)]

It's what Kim Jong Un called Trump in response to Trump's crazy speech. Those two should just get a hotel room and leave the rest of us alone.

Merriam-Webster defines the noun as “a person in his or her dotage,” which is “a state or period of senile decay marked by decline of mental poise and alertness.”

The Oxford definition: “An old person, especially one who has become weak or senile.”

This round to Kim.

And "rocket man" is terrible. It's a compliment, if anything. I can hear Kim telling his consorts, "Y'know, baby, they call me rocket man".

I bet the North Korean newspapers and talk shows are full of angst about how Kim is recklessly leading the country into war today.

I'm sure they are. They just don't talk about it.

Yeah, Rocket Man makes me think of Iron Man... Compared to 'Crooked Hillary' and 'Lying Ted' this meme is quite lame on the insult front. I keep hoping that Rocket Man notices Jon Stewart's FFvC meme. If it has to be a ride upon a crazy train, it might as well be humorous...and it did seem to hit a Fuckface Von Nervestick.

I bet Trump is jealous of Kim. He's richer, has the whole country worshiping him, or else.

And, on top of that, he regularly tells the most powerful country on earth to go fuck itself.

What could be better?

Howard Wolowitz wanted his nickname to be Rocket Man. He got Fruit Loops instead and was quite upset. Yes, this does seem to indicate that in American culture (as seen in sitcom Big Bang Theory) that Rocket Man is a laudable nickname.

What's more phallic than a rocket?

So Twitter is useful for something, though I only get such thru reading articles. I liked this tweet referenced in the article:

Donald Trump: "I have the best words, Rocket Man."
Kim Jong-un: "Hold my covfefe, #dotard."

Uh...glad Google is easy to use, I was thinking who the fuck is Howard Wolowitz....

I too was surprised at the choice... "Rocket boy" would have been an insult... diminutive. "Rocket Man" seems a compliment... an acknowledgement of achievement.

Trumps retinue must be thoroughly sick of telling him how brilliant he is.

Yeah, lots of outspoken people saying that Trump has won this round and that Kim is actually the true dotard.

What could be better?

Is Trump being Trump, and not an actual despot.

Because it is not so much the literal name as what it signifies.

Yet achievement is only a general term which can have good and/or bad connotations.

He can only wish.

Yes, Trump is the best ever unintentional wingman for the world's dictators.
