Hanoi, Vietnam • President Donald Trump on Sunday appeared to ridicule North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un as "short and fat," and he lashed out at critics of his relationship with Russia's leader, saying they are "haters and fools" who don't understand the merits of a good relationship with Moscow.
The morning tweetstorm came as Trump prepared for bilateral meetings with Vietnamese leaders, including a scheduled news conference where he could face more questions about the topics he addressed on Twitter.
Trump's taunt of Kim came after the North Korean leader again called him a "dotard," a term describing an old person who is losing his mental faculties.
