It sounds pretty vicious, but after everyone looked up what it meant, they were impressed, if not a bit scared.

Kim basically called Trump old and senile, but with a spot-on word that barely anyone uses. The dated word choice might come from how Kim's statement was translated. The Korean version connotes more of a "old beast lunatic" vibe.

Whatever it meant, the word struck a chord as "dotard" searches went through the roof. And the jokes and online commentary kept coming.

This is like "covfefe" all over again, but with a real word with a real meaning.
