Elton John says Trump's "Rocket Man" nickname for Kim Jong Un was "brilliant" after an interviewer appeared to try to set him up with an opportunity to slam Trump.
The comments came during an interview with Variety.
Question: "You're not a supporter of Trump. He loves your music. How did it feel when he took the lyrics to Rocket Man and used it as a nickname for Kim Jon Un?"
John: "I laughed. I thought it was brilliant. I just thought 'Good on you, Donald.' I'm the rocket man."
"Donald's always been a fan of mine and he has been to my concerts many, many times, so, I mean, I've always been friendly towards him and I, I thank him for his support. I just thought it was hilarious. It made me laugh."
