Donald Trump continues to bait "Little Rocket Man" Kim Jong-un as he vows American people will be 'protected'

Donald Trump continued his rhetorical sparring match
with Kim Jong-un on Friday as he continued to refer
to the North Korean leader as "Little Rocket Man".
Speaking at a rally in Alabama, Trump said the
dictator "should have been handled a long time ago"
and vowed to protect the US people.
The US President responded after he was branded
"mentally unstable" by Kim, who vowed to "highest
level of hard line counter measure in history" against
Trump.

Trump injected himself into a bitter US Senate primary
fight on Friday, putting to the test his ability to enlist
his anti-establishment voters to help an endangered
Republican incumbent.
He spoke at the rally on behalf of Senator Luther
Strange, who was appointed after the seat was left
vacant when Jeff Sessions was named Trump's
attorney general.
Strange is trying to ward off a challenge from Roy
Moore, an arch-conservative former state Supreme
Court justice, in a runoff election next week. Polls
show the race to be close.
The evening was reminiscent of the raucous
campaign rallies that helped define Trump's insurgent
presidential candidacy.
Addressing the crowds, Trump said: "And by the way,
Rocket Man should have been handled a long time
ago.
"He should have been handled a long time ago by
Clinton. I won't mention the Republicans right. By
Obama, Why? This is a different time.
"This should have been handled eight years ago and
four years ago and honestly...and 15 years ago and 20
years ago 25 years ago... this shouldn't be handled
now but I'm going to handle it because we have to
handle it.
"Little Rocket Man, we're going to do it because we
really have no choice, we really have no choice."
Addressing the nuclear weapon threat, Trump said:
"Now he's talking about a massive weapon exploding
over the ocean the Pacific which causes tremendous,
tremendous calamity.
"Where that plume goes so goes cancer so goes,
tremendous problems, and I want to tell you
something, and I'm sure he's listening because he
watches every word and I guarantee you one thing.
"He's watching us like he never watched anybody
before that I can tell you that I can tell. And maybe
something gets worked out and maybe it doesn't.
Personally I'm not sure that it will.
"Other people like to say oh we want it or they've
been saying for now 25 years. We want peace we
want peace, and then he goes it just keeps going
going going.
"Well maybe something gets worked out, and maybe it
doesn't but I can tell you one thing you are protected.
"OK, you are protected. Nobody is going to mess with
our people. Nobody is going to play games. Nobody is
going to put our people in that kind of danger.
