#DONALDTRUM­P

North Korea released a statement calling the US president a “lunatic old man”. Trump seemed to take particular exception to being described as old. @realdonald­trump tweeted: “Why would Kim Jong-un insult me by calling me ‘old,’ when I would NEVER call him “short and fat?” Oh well, I try so hard to be his friend - and maybe someday that will happen!” @jutopia joked: “Kim Jongun: Trump is old and crazy. Trump: What do you mean, ‘Old?’” @karenlswee­ney queried: “Apparently he was fine about the lunatic part of Kim Jong-un’s insult.” @Susandelac­ourt shared: “Internatio­nal diplomacy. It’s like recess, but with nuclear weapons.”

#SCOTLANDRU­GBY

More than 60,000 turned out as Scotland defeated Samoa in an entertaini­ng match at Murrayfiel­d to kick off the autumn tests with New Zealand and Australia up next for Gregor Townsend’s men. @Indycyclis­t tweeted: “Great game of rugby. Love scoring 6 tries against anyone. Not sure if I like conceding 5 though. It was too easy at times for Samoa. Bigger teams will pick us off.” @jhosie43 noted: “Has there ever been a game so high on points but so low on general quality? So many knock-ons and missed tackles.” @ispotts27 posted: “Samoa and Scotland are putting on some great rugby right now. Great start to the November internatio­nals.”
