Superstar Elton John praised former President Donald Trump’s “little rocket man” nickname for North Korea’s dictator Kim Jong-un recently.

“I laughed, I thought it was brilliant,” the singer said. “l just thought, ‘Good on you, Donald. The Rocket Man, yeah.’ Donald’s always been a fan of mine, he’s been to my concerts many, many times.”

John claimed that he is “friendly towards” Trump and thanks him for supporting him.

“I’ve always been friendly towards him, and I thank him for his support,” John added. “Yeah, when he did that, I just thought it was hilarious, it made me laugh.”

In 2018, Trump told reporters that he was planning to give Kim an Elton John album with the song “Rocket Man” on it.
