Thanks for the coverage. I’m sure the MSM will do everything possible to bury the story...

Watched the stunning footage. Listened to every word. Good lord is he ever out of his league. He is socially awkward and he is terribly insecure. This is not just jet lag. Ive watched his demeanor closely and he hanged upon his interpreter and was shy to kind of lean back (retreative body language) when you are supposed to ignore the interpreter entirely and engage full on with whom ever you are meeting. It may be that Trump eats this spoiled kid with the back yard bottle rockets alive. We can hope for it at least. Hes just a kid for crying out loud. Way out of his element. The emperor on the world stage has no clothes. Did you sense that?

True, but in a sense, doesnt matter. Any one of them defecting would have their whole family back in NK tortured to death publicly and fed to pigs.

He is definitely out of his comfort zone. This is not Pyongyang or Panmunjom. He has to go up against Trump without commanding home ground advantage. I guess his last line of defense would be to parrot canned talking points provided by his minions and Chicom masters.
Anyway, the first order of business is to turn him into an inept bumbling JV player, knocking out the aura of awe and fear ordinary N. Koreans are conditioned to view him with.

I was there in the late 80s. Stayed in a 5 Star hotel and the maid stole my Rolex (which was fake so I wasnt too upset - I was coming there from Thailand and got several there).

...what they must think of Singapore and seeing the outside world... They were probably briefed beforehand that it isn't real; it's just a large Potemkin Village.
If they know what's good for them, they will refuse to be impressed.
Or else.

Regarding infrastructure and leading edge electronics, Singapore is one of the most advanced countries in the entire world.
The side walks are spotless. No chewing gum allowed!!

Kim looks nervous, sometimes bewildered.
But otherwise cheerful.
He might learn to like the big stage.

Here's Kim's sister in Singapore, only quick glimpses so far...but then she usually is low profile.

As awkward as he is there to me it is impressive he actually “SHOWED UP”. He’s highly paranoid anyway so this, his first trip, outside of the one to China, so far from N.Korea and into the “Unknown”, with the whole world watching. Actually puts his back to the wall that he has to carry this through.
So far no news in N.Korea I’ve seen that they even know he’s left the country.

He’s naturally paranoid anyway....and on unfamiliar ground as well. First trip outside of the North and recent sort visit to China. He might be overwelmed just being so far from the North.
I noticed he has no problem putting on his camera smile for photos.....you do get to know when it’s acting and when it’s real. He’s been acting so far.

US President Donald Trump to meet PM Lee at noon on Monday, followed by a working lunch:
White House US President Donald Trump will hold a one-on-one meeting with Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong at noon on Monday (June 11).The pair will then participate in an expanded bilaterial meeting and working lunch at the Istana.
People on the side lines were "SINGING" the Star Spangled Banner when Pres. Trump rolled in!
