President Donald Trump is facing backlash after referencing North Korean leader Kim Jong Un while repeating a derogatory term used about Joe Biden.

The comments came during a press appearance where Trump highlighted his relationship with Kim, saying the two “get along very well” and pointing to past remarks Kim made about Biden. The use of the slur — widely considered offensive — has drawn criticism and reignited concerns over presidential rhetoric and tone.

The moment underscores Trump’s continued emphasis on his personal diplomacy with North Korea, while also sparking a broader debate about language, leadership, and the standards expected from a sitting U.S. president.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has spoken.

He's publicly labeled the United States a “perpetrator of state terrorism,” according to reporting from NK News based on statements from North Korean state media.

The comments came as part of a broader speech in which Kim also repeated his long‑standing opposition to South Korea and justified his country’s military posture amid rising regional tension.

The statement adds to an increasingly hostile war of words between Pyongyang and Washington as geopolitical pressures continue to mount.

Reports suggest that North Korean schoolchildren are being taught unusual stories about their leader, Kim Jong-un, as part of a new school subject focused on his life and “revolutionary works.”

According to a teacher’s manual reported by South Korea’s TV Chosun through the UPI news agency, the material claims Kim learned to drive at just three years old. It also says that by the age of nine he raced the chief executive of a visiting foreign yacht company and won despite the odds.

These lessons are reportedly part of wider efforts within the country’s education system to highlight the leader’s achievements and build a strong public image through state-directed teaching.

Analysts say the approach mirrors earlier propaganda surrounding former leader Kim Jong-il, where stories of extraordinary abilities and achievements were also promoted to shape the leader’s public image and strengthen loyalty among citizens.
