Elton John Thought It Was ‘Hilarious’ When Donald Trump Called North Korea’s Kim Jong Un ‘Little Rocket Man’
Elton John said he thought former President Donald Trump's 'Little Rocket Man' nickname for North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un was 'hilarious.'
The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer revealed over the weekend that he thought former one-term President Donald Trump’s repurposing of the pop star’s 1972 classic “Rocket Man” as a nickname for North Korean dictator Kim Jung Un was “hilarious.” Though John had a jovial attitude about the musical way twice-impeached Trump cozied up to the North Korean strongman whose decade-plus in office has been marked by the reported assassinations of family members, repression of human rights and widespread starvation, Variety noted that the singer also seemed to take a veiled swipe at the convicted felon who will face off with Democratic candidate Vice President Kamala Harris in their first, and only, debate on Tuesday night (Sept. 10). John, who shares two young children with husband/manager David Furnish, fell short of an explicit endorsement of either major party candidate, but did encourage Americans to vote with their hearts and choose hope over bluster and division.
