North Korea says Trump has a 'dirty body' and 'nasty smell' in childish defense of its horrific human rights record
Judging by the North Korean response, Trump may have struck a nerve by embracing North Korean defectors and people.
North Korea offered a typically bellicose but unusually bizarre response to President Donald Trump's increased scrutiny of Pyongyang's abysmal human rights record, attacking Trump's personal cleanliness in the process.
The tirade from Pyongyang follows Trump hosting North Korean defectors in the Oval Office, and his inclusion of a double amputee and North Korean defector in his State of the Union address, where he also pointed to the "depraved" nature of the Kim regime.
North Korean media called the visit by defectors an "intolerable politically motivated provocation and tyrannical blackmail," the Japan Times notes.
