The rhetoric is pretty harmless.
The North Korean foreign minister calls Donald Trump "mentally deranged and full of megalomania" at the UN today.
Add this to "dog" and "dotard" (senile old man) and you get the picture.
Trump has had his say of course, branding the North Korean leader Kim Jong Un a "rocket man on a suicide mission".
Were there not the potential for a serious conflict it would all be vaguely entertaining. But what is less harmless are the increasingly worrying displays of strength by both sides.
In response to North Korea's repeated missile launches and nuclear tests, the Americans have now sent bombers close to its east coast in an attempt to deliver a clear message about the military options open to the Pentagon.
