Pro athletes weren’t the only targets of Trump messaging over the weekend. North Korea also received some more presidential Twitter trash talk: “Just heard Foreign Minister of North Korea speak at U.N. If he echoes thoughts of Little Rocket Man, they won’t be around much longer!” Foreign Minister Ri Yong Ho responded by saying that Trump had “declared war.”
