The statements were made in a fiery editorial in one of Pyongyang’s state-run propaganda newspapers.
The gloating opinion piece began: “The US used to unleash wars against other countries to dominate them, being proud that even not a single shell has ever dropped on its mainland.
“The US is feeling extremely uneasy and experiencing frustrations as its scenario to do harm to the DPRK through nuclear blackmail went up in smoke.
“The US is not in a position to deny the tremendous power of the DPRK, a full-fledged nuclear power in the East, no matter how hard it tries to do so.”
The sabre-rattling editorial was issued a fortnight after Mr Trump stunned the world by winning the US election.
Kim Jong-un said the "curtain had fallen" on America's era of dominance
While his unexpected victory looks set to improve relations with Russia, whose leader Vladimir Putin welcomed his election, North Korea has responded by doubling-down on its bloody rhetoric.
The editorial continued: “The curtain is falling on the era of US domination. The US, styling itself the world's only superpower, has fished in troubled waters, turning several regions into mayhem.
Donald Trump spoke often about the need to bring North Korea under control while campaigning
“Now the US strategy for mounting a preemptive nuclear strike at the DPRK has gone bust, becoming a factor of threatening its security.
“Now the US strategy for mounting a preemptive nuclear strike at the DPRK has gone bust, becoming a factor of threatening its security.
“Gone are the days never to return when the US could threaten and blackmail the DPRK with its nukes.
“Americans are now unable to sleep in peace because of the nightmare that their mainland may suffer a nuclear disaster.
“The position of the DPRK will grow strong and its military muscle become unimaginably tremendous in the future, too.”
The article was written just days after a Pyongyang dictator pleaded with Mr Trump to take down a North Korean defector.
Jung Gwang-Il, who spent three years in one of the North Korea’s hellish prison camps, said Mr Trump could end the division of Korea and become known as the ‘Reunification President’.
North Korea has doubled down on its bloody rhetoric since Donald Trump's victory
He wrote an open letter to the Republican leader, praising America as a “beacon of hope and freedom” and asking for assistance in taking down the bloodthirsty despot.
