Liberals have welcomed North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to the resistance against President Donald Trump after he released a statement calling Trump a "dotard" and "mentally deranged."

"I will surely and definitely tame the mentally deranged U.S. dotard with fire," Kim said. Dotard is an elderly person, especially one who has become weak or senile.

Kim added that Trump will "pay dearly" for his remarks before the United Nations on Tuesday warning the U.S. will "totally destroy North Korea" if forced to defend itself or its allies.

Human rights organizations consider North Korea under Kim's rule to be one of the most repressive states in the word, where much of the population is starving and up to 120,000 individuals languish in political prison camps. Kim also orders violent public executions and sends officials to take teenage girls from North Korean schools to serve as his sex slaves, according to a North Korean defector.

Still, liberals appeared to welcome the North Korean dictator's comments about Trump, with some suggesting Kim is preferable to the president.

I am a proud American, but I would gladly lose a war against North Korea if it got our President #Dotard locked in a POW camp. #VoteHilary — Limmy (@DaftLimmy) September 22, 2017

Kim Jong Un is right: "Far from making remarks that can be viewed as helpful to defusing tension, [Trump] made unprecedented rude nonsense." — Touré (@Toure) September 22, 2017

Is anyone else as fearful as I am that Jong-un's #dotard comment may push Trump towards nuclear war. He is a thin-skinned dotard. — Impeach Donald Trump (@Impeach_D_Trump) September 22, 2017

You know things are bad when you agree with a crazy North Korean dictator. Maybe in Trump’s case instead of #dotard it should be #doughtard — Steve Redmond (@sjredmond) September 22, 2017

Everyone on Twitter – OMG HE CALLED TRUMP A #dotard – Is that a word? – Wait…is that a real word? – *looks up word* – HE IS A DOTARD! — Tony Posnanski (@tonyposnanski) September 22, 2017

Kim Jong Un calling Trump a #dotard means he's used an English dictionary at least one more time than Trump. — Nick Jack Pappas (@Pappiness) September 21, 2017

When you know Kim Jong Un is a deranged authoritarian but you also have to agree with him that Trump is a #dotard pic.twitter.com/m4PWiFyci6 — MJ Gardner ⛳️ (@MJGWrites) September 21, 2017

#dotard do·tard (dōdərd) noun

A word you didn't previously know existed, but googled today and said, "Damn, that's pretty accurate." — Funny Or Die (@funnyordie) September 22, 2017

Comedian Chelsea Handler even suggested the United States should swap out Trump for Kim.

Uhhhh. Kim Jung's letter to @realDonaldTrump is a little bit more sane than @realDonaldTrump. Maybe we trade? — Chelsea Handler (@chelseahandler) September 22, 2017

The New York Times appeared to be impressed with Kim's insults.
