President Donald Trump drew disbelief Saturday night with a tweet mocking North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un.

“Why would Kim Jong-un insult me by calling me ‘old,’ when I would NEVER call him ‘short and fat?’ Oh well, I try so hard to be his friend – and maybe someday that will happen!” the POTUS wrote.

People on Twitter called Trump everything from “a hot mess” to a “first-rate tool.” One accused him of going “back to the playground.”

“THE WORLD IS LOOKING AT YOU DOING THIS. STOP. AND THEN STOP BEING PRESIDENT!!!” Don Cheadle tweeted. “You had some fun, right? Got to sit in the chair. Even signed some stuff. Remember the pictures? That was cool, right? Now you have to go. Please. It’s only right.”

Here’s a handful of other Hollywood notables who had something to say about the president’s choice of words.
