US EditionTrump Claims North Korean’s Kim Jong Un Used a Derogatory Term to Question Biden’s Mental Fitness
Trump repeated the slur while praising his ties to Kim Jong Un and defending his handling of the Iran rescue mission.
- President Donald Trump claimed during a press conference on Monday that Kim Jong Un previously used the term "mentally retarded" to describe former President Joe Biden.
- North Korean state media has frequently targeted United States politicians with insults, labeling Biden an "imbecile" and a "fool of low IQ" in 2019 after he criticized Kim as a tyrant.
- Reports do not substantiate Trump's assertion that Kim used the specific slur; North Korea's documented attacks on Biden focused on intelligence levels rather than the terminology Trump attributed to the leader.
- In 2024, Trump frequently questioned Biden's mental state, claiming the former president "doesn't even know what he's saying" while asserting he alone passed a cognitive exam.
- The comments emerged during a Monday briefing on Iranian tensions, reflecting Trump's belief that personal diplomacy with foreign adversaries remains strategically valuable despite questions about the accuracy of his statements.
