While overseas in Japan this weekend to meet with Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, President Trump took to Twitter to weigh in on some current events.
The President responded to missile tests conducted earlier in the month from North Korea and to a statement from North Korean state media about former Vice President Joe Biden.
President Trump dismissed concerns about missile tests and said he had confidence in North Korean Leader Kim Jong-Un.
“North Korea fired off some small weapons, which disturbed some of my people, and others, but not me,” Trump wrote. “I have confidence that Chairman Kim will keep his promise to me.”
National Security Adviser John Bolton on Saturday said that there is “no doubt” that recent short-range missile launches by North Korea are in violation of U.N. Security Council resolutions — suggesting that the White House may be looking at putting a sharper edge on their diplomatic relations with dictatorship, reported Fox News.

President Trump also said he “smiled” when Kim Jung Un referred to former Vice President Joe Biden has a “low IQ”, and he coined Biden with the name “Swampman”.
“I have confidence that Chairman Kim will keep his promise to me, & also smiled when he called Swampman Joe Biden a low IQ individual, & worse. Perhaps that’s sending me a signal?” Trump asked.
North Korean state media outlet KCNA on Tuesday called Vice President Joe Biden Tuesday a “fool of low IQ” after Biden called Kim a tyrant, reported The Hill. (Continued Below)
