"oh, well, i try so hard to be his friend, and maybe someday that will happen." - okay, it's a little weird for donald trump to diss kim jong-un's weight when they have pretty much the same body type. i mean, yeah, i'm not judging, but i just think people who live in gingerbread houses shouldn't throw scones. also, also, i love that trump's response was "how dare you call me old?"

most korea watcher think she is the most capable of kim jong-il's children. which means she would be the absolute ruler of north korea if she weren't a woman because it's a very male dominated society. so, therefore, that puts her out of the running. because it puts her out of the running, it also means she's not competition for her brother, kim jong-un, who is actually in charge. and that means she's become extremely influential. even, for instance, the number two in the regime. he's not that important. kim jong-un tells him what to do. he actually listens to his sister. >> with the sister, as we said, the first time someone in the family has set foot on south korean soil, are they worried about her interfacing with south koreans? would there be any danger? would they want to keep her, i don't know, if a private homestead of staying in some big hotel? >> i think both the south koreans and north koreans think the same way. they want to control all interactions that she has. you know, she could be talking to people like moon jae-in, the president of south kore
