“Hey, Obama,” a weird letter from North Korea to the President of the United States opens, according to a translation offered by the Associated Press. “I know you have a lot on your mind these days … I’ve decided to give you a little advice.”
The unsolicited advice to President Barack Obama was published in the lesser-known state-controlled publication DPRK Today on Monday. It is written in the voice of Abraham Lincoln.
“If the United States, a country with the world’s largest nuclear weapons stockpile, only pays lip service, like a parrot, and doesn’t do anything actively, it will be a mockery to the entire world,” says North Korean Abraham Lincoln.
“It’s the twenty-first century,” he continues. “The tactic by past American presidents, including me, who deceived the people … is outdated. That doesn’t work now. The world doesn’t trust an America that doesn’t take responsibility for what it says.”
Oooookayyyyy.

In 2014 KCNA called Obama a “monkey.” Earlier that year, it called Secretary of State John Kerry a wolf with a “hideous lantern jaw” after U.S. and South Korean troops launched summertime drills.
The North has also called South Korean President Park Geun-hye a “prostitute” numerous times.
