Elton John Praises Trump’s “Little Rocket Man” Nickname, Advocates for a Calmer America

In a recent Variety interview, Elton John expressed his admiration for Donald Trump’s nickname for Kim Jong Un, “Little Rocket Man,” describing it as “brilliant” and humorous. John, who was discussing the premiere of his Disney+ documentary Elton John: Never Too Late, revealed that he found the nickname amusing and laughed at the clever reference to his 1972 hit song “Rocket Man.”

John’s Friendly Rapport with Trump

Despite their political differences, Elton John and Donald Trump have maintained a friendly relationship over the years. Trump has attended John’s concerts, and John has always appreciated his support. The singer acknowledged this in the interview, saying, “Donald’s always been a fan of mine, so I have always been friendly toward him.”

Trump’s Gesture to Kim Jong Un

John also commented on Trump’s gesture of gifting Kim Jong Un a signed CD of John’s “Rocket Man” to explain the nickname. He joked about Kim Jong Un’s possible unfamiliarity with his music, stating, “I’d be surprised if Kim Jong Un knew who I am. I’ve never performed in North Korea and have no plans to.”

A Subtle Critique of Trump’s Approach

While John praised Trump’s nickname, he subtly critiqued the broader political climate. He stressed his hope for a more “calmer” and “safer” America, reflecting on recent comments about the nation’s volatility. John emphasized the importance of kindness and a positive future, avoiding specific endorsements of political figures.

Elton John’s Political Neutrality

John made it clear he does not intend to dictate how people should vote. He expressed concern over America’s current state and hopes for a positive outcome in future elections. “I hope that people make the right decision to see what the future is going to be,” he said.
