Kim: Our country is a nuclear country now and I have a nuclear button on my desk.
				
				Trump: &amp;ldquo;Will someone from his food-starved regime inform him that I too have a nuclear button, much bigger and powerful, and unlike his, it works?&amp;rdquo;

&amp;ldquo;North Korean nukes don&amp;rsquo;t work&amp;rdquo;

Trump: &amp;#39;Rocket man&amp;#39; (read Kim Jong Un) is on a suicide mission for himself and for his regime.
				
				Kim: (Trump) is mentally deranged US dotard (old lunatic).

Rocket man versus dotard

Trump: It is time for North Korea to realise that denuclearization is its only acceptable future.
				
				Kim: Trump is rogue and a gangster who is fond of playing with fire. A frightened dog barks louder.

The war of words continues

Kim: North Korea has tested a series of ballistic missiles.
				
				Trump: The country will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen before.

A not-so-subtle exchange of threats

Kim: We are in the final stages of launching an intercontinental ballistic missile.
				
				Trump: It won&amp;rsquo;t happen.

So, who is right?

Name calling, scoffing, threatening... the spat had it all. Watch out for the actual meeting on Tuesday
