The remarks came at Mar-A-Lago, Florida, following an impromptu press conference.
President Trump was reported as being overheard while he was conferring with James Matthis,

“Such a nasty, fat boy,” Trump is reported as stating. “So nasty. Maybe I should

North Korea issued a video of a boxing ring being blown up by a nuke.
Intelligence officials are trying to determine if it means yes or no.
