Trump had to explain to Kim Jong Un that his "Little Rocket Man" nickname was an Elton John reference. Kim told him that he didn't like the "Little" part of the nickname. When Kim said no, Trump explained that the British singer's 1972 hit song "Rocket Man" inspired him to give Kim the nickname in 2017. Kim and others at the lunch laughed, and Kim said, "'Rocket man,' OK. 'Little,' not OK."During his 2016 race for the White House, Trump gave many of his opponents catchy nicknames. Trump first referred publicly to Kim as "Little Rocket Man" on Twitter in 2017 and repeated it at a UN General Assembly speech and throughout his presidency.
