after a surgery, according to a US official with direct knowledge.

Kim recently missed the celebration of his grandfather's birthday on April 15, which raised speculation about his well-being. He had been seen four days before that at a government meeting.
Another US official told CNN Monday that the concerns about Kim's health are credible but the severity is hard to assess.
Daily NK, an online newspaper based in South Korea that focuses on North Korea, reports that Kim reportedly received a cardiovascular system procedure on April 12.

Kim received the cardiovascular system procedure because of "excessive smoking, obesity, and overwork," according to the news site, and is now receiving treatment in a villa in Hyangsan County following his procedure.'>>>

the republicans can make him president and replace trump.

If we can have a president who was born in Kenya, we can have one born in North Korea.

anything good can come of any advantage with this gang in charge. I just don't have a good feeling about it, hope I'm wrong.

Unfortunately he still manages to torment us with his pathetic, lame-ass press conferences, but it's only a matter of time before he goes vegetative. He's going to blow a gasket any day now.
