President Donald Trump on Sunday told North Korean leader Kim Jong Un that his regime was overstating when it called former Vice President Joe Biden a “rabid dog.”

“Mr. Chairman, Joe Biden may be Sleepy and Very Slow, but he is not a ‘rabid dog’,” the president tweeted in a tepid defense of the 2020 Democratic presidential candidate. He added that Biden is “actually somewhat better than that.”

Last week, North Korean state media hurled a series of insults at Biden and said, “Rabid dogs like Biden can hurt lots of people if they are allowed to run out of control.” The statement said that such dogs “must be beaten to death with a stick, before it is too late.” 

The regime’s attack on Biden was apparently in response to a Biden campaign ad that referred to Kim as a “tyrant.” 

After defending Biden, the president then referred to the efforts to negotiate an agreement aimed at halting North Korea’s nuclear weapons program, telling Kim “I am the only one who can get you where you have to be. You should act quickly, get the deal done. See you soon!”
