In a way, Trump is aggressively trolling Kim Jong-un.

Trying to see what kind of response (if any) was alerted in the region?

If radars started pinging it like crazy then we know where they are now...

Yes he is trolling him. Kim had another military display the other day. I wonder how much that is costing Kim each time he does it?

How long did it take to travel the 4K miles? The article didn’t mention.

That is about 3,999 miles more than Kim got with his missile.
