Tens of thousands of North Koreans packed into Kim
II Sung Square in Pyongyang on Saturday as the government staged a
massive rally against President Donald Trump and the United States.
The huge crowd listened to speeches
from senior officials, and a parade of marchers carried signs with
slogans such as “Decisive revenge" and “Death to the American
imperialists."
The rally capped two days of response to a combative
speech by Trump on Tuesday at the United Nations General Assembly in New
York City.In response to recent weapons tests by North Korea and a steady stream of provocative statements from the government of Kim Jong Un, the U.S. president mocked Kim as a "Rocket Man" who was on a "suicide mission," and said the U.S. would “have no choice but to totally destroy North Korea" if forced to defend itself or its allies.

Rallies like Saturday’s in Pyongyang are regular occurrences in North Korea, as part of the government’s effort to win approval from citizens, Agence France-Presse reported.
Members of the crowd voiced support for their government and criticized Trump and the United States, the news agency reported.
"Trump is a warmonger and a backstreet gangster," said Ri Il Ung, 24, a student at Pyongyang Mechanical University. "It's quite ridiculous that such a person could become a politician."
Ordinary North Koreans normally share only government-approved statements when speaking to foreign reporters, according to AFP.
