Kim Jong-un's pleasure train: It offers fresh lobster, fine wines, and a harem of girls for entertainment. Now, as it’s claimed the North Korea leader has died, will the key to the mystery be found on his luxury locomotive?

Dictators love their personal trains. Hitler had ‘Amerika’, an armoured beast equipped with anti-aircraft guns, which he used as a mobile headquarters for much of World War II. Mussolini and Stalin both insisted on luxurious bespoke carriages when travelling long distances. Fitting, then, that one of the world’s last old‑fashioned despots should also travel in his own unique version of this tyrant’s status symbol: one that may provide a vital clue as to the whereabouts of this stricken — and possibly deceased — autocrat.

The train may have been his place of quarantine until it passes.

President Trump stated he is not dead recently. He must be hiding like Trump hinted.

Rumours that Kim has died have been circulating since April 15, when he failed to attend celebrations marking the birthday of his grandfather, and Korea’s first Communist dictator, Kim Il-sung.

If he is simply laying low because of the Corona Virus, or some other reason, he could have released a video message to the people commemorating these events.

I think that Kim is using the reaction to his absence as a way to test the loyalty of his underlings and to demonstrate that without him, the regime might not survive.

Trump said no such thing - he said he knows the condition and can’t talk about it - his remark to the Asian Fake News person who made her own statement was “That must be breaking news...and he also said she didn’t have the data to back up her claims.

Kim’s entourage of girls look like the “Robert Palmer dancers” that used to follow Qaddafi all over the world.

"the ruler of this last bastion of Stalinist Communism" lives the fulfilment of the Democrat Dream, i.e. the Dream of the US Democrat Party.

“he said he knows the condition and can’t talk about it “

President Trump also wish him well. I would guess that means Kim Jong Un is alive.

I did not hear him say: “she didn’t have the data to back up her claims.”

I think we are watching two different video clips. I watch one with some White Woman asking the question.

” Asian Fake News person”
Was the news clip you watch an Asian Woman?

His "wish him well" comment may have been a diversion...can't really take anything from it at face value....he may have been in contact with someone in N. Korea and be giving them time to "make arrangements.

The one I saw was some older Asian (at last night's task force brief) who started her "question" with a statement....as they so often do...and he quipped that she was giving some "breaking news"...indicating there was no reliable actual news as far as we, who don't have his contacts, know.

Doubt much luxury would be found in the locomotive. The railroad cars that it pulled are a different story.

The Asian woman is asking about a comment made by Sen. Graham but PDJT misunderstands. He says basically that Kim could not possibly have said anything on Saturday.

They are teaming up reports with different questions to reframe Trumps replies. Two different reports asking the same questions at different times to reframe it answer.

Could be.. If he is dead arrangements could be the difference between a civil war or no civil war.

Not sure how China would respond to a civil war in North Korea. I have read South Korean and American Military is worry about a North Korea civil war.
