North Korea said US president Trump was “bat-blind” and “spouting rubbish” in a shocking verbal broadside issues in a Pyongyang-based newspaper.
The propaganda rag said America was running scared and merely posturing when Mr Trump warned North Korea “won’t be around much longer”.
And they claimed America was “frantic” in its attempts to “massacre the Koreans”.

“Trump is spouting such rubbish that ‘North Korea won’t be around much longer’, ‘military option will be very destructive’ and ‘he will set right the north issue spoiled by the predecessors’.”
The newspaper boasted it was storming towards its “final goal of perfecting” nuclear war – with America among its first targets.
The spokesman continued: “The US frantic moves are a revelation of the feelings of defeat, shame and weakness of the US unable to check the dynamic advance of the DPRK toward the final goal of perfecting the nuclear force of the state.
“They are also an expression of uneasiness and horror about its imminent tragic end.”

The spokesman said: “The bat-blind men, who can never understand from where the invincible might of socialist Korea and the tremendous vitality of the Korean people stem, are trying to threaten others by brandishing rot sanctions stick and letting out rubbish. But this is a ridiculous act.
