Trump during his presidency repeatedly called the North Korean leader 'Rocket Man,' a nod to John's 1972 hit.

Trump during his presidency referred to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un as "Rocket Man." The leader at the time was amassing and testing an arsenal of missiles.“Rocket Man is on a suicide mission for himself and for his regime,” he said in 2017 before the UN General Assembly. “The United States is ready, willing and able , but hopefully this will not be necessary.”
“Donald’s always been a fan of mine, and he’s been to my concerts many, many times,” John continued. “I’ve always been friendly toward him, and I thank him for his support. Yeah, when he did that, I just thought it was hilarious.”
