President Donald Trump and Kim Jong-Un have been throwing verbal abuse at each other for some time and this continues to show itself during the president's diplomatic trip in Asia. One of the president's goals for the southeastern region of Asia is to help ease tensions over control of the South China Sea. This has been a hot bed of disputed territory and fishing rights that gained prevalence with China's artificial island controversy.
In regards to North Korea, the country has issued an official statement denouncing President Trump as a "dotard", or a senile elderly individual. Trump replied with a rather back-handed tweet by indirectly calling Kim short and fat. Furthermore, the US Navy has been conducting exercises in the region with three carriers and subsequent support ships as a show of force to our allies and adversaries.
