Elton John Says Donald Trump Calling Kim Jong Un ‘Little Rocket Man’ Was ‘Brilliant,’ but Urges People to Vote for a ‘Calmer, Safer’ America
Elton John has weighed in on Donald Trump using his song 'Rocket Man' as a nickname for North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un.
Several years after Donald Trump called Kim Jong Un “Little Rocket Man,” Elton John has weighed in on his hit song being the inspiration for the North Korean dictator’s nickname. As revealed in Mike Pompeo’s 2022 memoir, “Never Give an Inch,” Trump apparently had to explain to Kim Jong Un what the nickname meant, as the Supreme Leader was not familiar with the “Tiny Dancer” singer. It’s bookended by his landmark performances at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles in 1975 to more than 100,000 fans and again in 2022 as the final North American stop on his “Farewell Yellow Brick Road” tour.
