President Trump can be hard on his political rivals but he is even harder on the enemies of the United States. North Korea state media had harsh words for Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden last week calling him a “rabid dog” who should be “beaten to death with a stick”.

President Trump tweeted a response to these comments on Sunday morning. He defended the former Vice President saying that, although he is “Sleep and Very Slow” he is “actually somewhat better that”. He continued by telling Korea not to worry about Biden and to deal with him to “get the deal done”

The North Korean news agency had written about Biden, “Rabid dogs like Baiden (sic) can hurt lots of people if they are allowed to run about. They must be beaten to death with a stick, before it is too late.” They also said that the 76 year old candidate was in “the final stage of dementia” and that the “time has come for him to depart his life.”
