UN Ambassador Nikki Haley said on ABC’s “Good Morning America” that other world leaders are now using “Rocket Man,” President Trump’s nickname for Kim Jong-un.
Trump referred to the North Korean leader as “Rocket Man” again in his keynote at the UN conference Tuesday, but according to Haley, world leaders were even using it before that speech. (RELATED: North Korea Boycotts Trump’s Speech Calling Out ‘Rocket Man’ Kim Jong Un)
