Sorry, President Dotard, you've been out-insulted
Yes, dotard is a real word.
Thanks to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, who used the word to describe President Donald Trump as "a mentally deranged US dotard" this week, we rediscovered an arcane English insult long forgotten. This was a comeback after Trump called the North Korean leader "Rocket Man".
Sorry, Trump, you were trumped.
It's a fun word to say, kind-of naughty, rhyming with the schoolyard word we all know not to use, but perfect as a way to describe someone as weak and senile.
