Trump makes ‘deplorable’ joke with South Korean 🇰🇷 president

On the agenda at the high-stakes bilateral meeting Thursday between President Trump and his South Korean counterpart Moon Jae-in: North Korea's nuclear arsenal, the bilateral trade deal and Hillary Clinton.

As he's shown repeatedly, Trump just can't seem to let go of his 2016 opponent, and Trump made a joke at her expense during a meeting with Moon on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly here.

An interpreter for Moon used the word “deplorable” in translating his remarks about the North's provocations, prompting Trump to cut in: “I'm happy you used the world 'deplorable.' I was very interested in that word.”

During the campaign, Clinton had told reporters that she put many of Trump's supporters in a “basket of deplorables” whose views were repugnant.

That galvanized much of Trump's base, and the word “deplorable” was used as a rallying cry among some of his most ardent backers, who attached it to their Twitter handles and otherwise embraced the term.
