Trump slaps Rex, tweets rage at Kim

SO MUCH FOR North Korea negotiations.

President Trump on Sunday said he told Secretary of State Tillerson to stop “wasting his time” trying to arrange a peace agreement with North Korean leaders — only a day after Tillerson said he was working to seal a deal.

“I told Rex Tillerson, our wonderful Secretary of State, that he is wasting his time trying to negotiate with Little Rocket Man,” Trump tweeted, using his nickname for North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un.

“Save your energy Rex, we’ll do what has to be done!”

Hours later, he wrote in another tweet, “Being nice to Rocket Man hasn’t worked in 25 years, why would it work now? Clinton failed, Bush failed, and Obama failed. I won’t fail.”

Kim has not been in power for 25 years, and hasn’t even been alive for much longer than that.

He assumed power in 2011 after the death of his father Kim Jong Il, who led North Korea while Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush were in office.

Kim Jong Un is believed to be in his early or mid-30s. North Korea says he was born in January 1982, which would make him 35.

Tillerson on Saturday said the U.S. was talking to Pyongyang and “probing” the possibility of a peace deal, after the two nations had spent months threatening to destroy each other.

“I think the most immediate action that we need is to calm things down,” he told reporters in Beijing.
