Sir Elton John has responded to Donald Trump's “Rocketman” nickname for Kim Jong Un.

Love how they tried to trigger Elton and he spoke the truth.

[pheehunter]

Thankfully Elton understands that you don’t have to be hateful towards someone just because you don’t support them as a choice for President. When did everybody lose sight of that?

[margaretirvine]

The journalist wanted to hear hate - didn't get it. 😊

[niteshimmeror]

Elton is a very gifted musician and obviously brilliant enough to not get caught in the same net as some who have offended half their fans.

[georgeberry]

Good on you John! Don't let them flip the script. They are losing and afraid So they are trying anything

[jcswheneveraussieoff-roadi]

Love how it backfires on the reporter 😂😂

[ix.Nox_]

Trying to curve the narrative with that opening line, great for you to recognize it Elton 👏

[chellynel]

😂😂 Elton thought it was funny 😅 that didn't go the way they hoped lol

[warrantofficerclassj]

From Now I am your massive fan, Elton !

[deniseball]

Love this - typical of certain reporters and the way they try to start bullsh.. shame on the ABC having reporters like that

[CatPatBat]

I'm not a fan of politicians in general. full of goofiness. respect to elton for keeping a professional standpoint, and maintaining a civil, and wonderful attitude. ❤

[billjeffery]

GOOD ON YOU, Elton at least you saw the funny side of the rocket man Lirics for Donald Trump for Nick name for Kim Jogh

[stavrock]

The press are really trying to dig up any negative views on Trump but here is a fail because Elton respects Donald and that’s what it’s about

[annieeileen]

That's the ay things should be. Elton may not be a supporter of Trump but knowing Trump is a fan he answered this with truth. Everyone can take a lesson from Elton. To him he knew Trumps a fan and that was more important to him than bashing him.

[chadkent]

What a classy response to a classless query

[markcoleman]

Love that a lib is telling the truth about Trump

[bvo]

I wouldn’t mind liberals if they could act dignified like the great Elton John

[crazekananas]

"I know you're not a supporter" yet he has never publically criticized Trump...

[michaelboyce]

When John Belushi did a piss-take of Joe Cocker on SNL, people around Cocker were sh*tting themselves over how Joe would take it. To their utter amazement, when Joe saw it, he was almost helpless with laughter. There's a huge gap between British humor and Seppo humor, thank God.

"I'm Still Standing" would make a great campaign song!
