“I will surely and definitely tame the mentally deranged U.S. dotard with fire,” Kim told his people Thursday in a televised state address. And with that the viral political lexicon gained “dotard,” a new trending slang term the likes of which we haven’t seen since “covfefe.”

By Thursday evening “dotard” became the top trending item on Twitter in the United States. The word, according to Google, means a senile old person. But Kim’s address took a rushed and bickering tone that followed President Donald Trump‘s speech to the United Nations on Tuesday—one in which Trump threatened to “totally destroy” North Korea if forced to defend the U.S. against the rogue state’s threats.

Kim called Trump’s speech a “war declaration.”
