Call for calm over N Korea Leaked interview reveals President’s crass comments

A FORMER US deputy secretary of state has warned against using “hot rhetoric” as tensions over North Korea’s missile testing continued to escalate.

The rogue state’s leader Kim Jong Un warned Donald Trump he would “pay dearly” after the US President threatened the total destructio­n of the country.

Former US director of intelligen­ce and president George W Bush’s ambassador to the UN John Negroponte warned: “Hot rhetoric is never a good idea in internatio­nal diplomacy. In this case, when both sides are brandishin­g severe threats, it would be useful if the rhetoric could be toned down.” DONALD Trump called Princess Diana “crazy” but added he would have slept with her “without hesitation”, newly released radio interviews have revealed.

The tacky businessma­n also joked with US shock jock DJ Howard Stern about giving Diana a medical test before sleeping with her in interviews given before he became US President.

In an appearance on Stern’s show in 2000, Trump said about Diana: “She had the height, she had the beauty, she had the skin, the whole thing. She was crazy but, you know, these are minor details.” When asked if he would have slept with her, he replied: “Without

hesitation.” In another interview in 1997, he joked about giving the princess a medical and boasted he “could have” nailed her.

Stern asked: “Why do people think it’s egotistica­l of you to say you could’ve gotten with Lady Di? You could’ve nailed her.”

Trump replied: “I think I could have.”In the audio, anonymousl­y sent to website Factbase, Stern then acts out a scenario where Trump tells the princess to get tested first.

He jokes: “Hey Lady Di, would you go to the doctor?”

Trump then imagined the conversati­on with the royal: “Go back to my Lexus, because I have a new doctor,” he says, as if addressing her. “We wanna give you a check-up.”

Meanwhile, the President’s administra­tion faced further controvers­y after it was revealed six of his advisers have been using personal email accounts to discuss White House matters.

Among those named were his daughter Ivanka, son-in-law Jared Kushner, former chief White House strategist Stephen Bannon and former chief of staff Reince Priebus.

In his election campaign Trump attacked Democrat Hillary Clinton over her use of personal emails.
