Can Kim Jong Un control the weather? North Korea’s state-run media says so

By Cleve R. Wootson Jr.

In rare free moments, when Kim Jong Un isn’t calling President Trump a dotard, launching ballistic missiles into the Sea of Japan or engaging in general dictatoring, he apparently goes on leisurely mountain hikes and flexes his never-before-reported superpower: controlling the weather.

 

The case for the North Korean leader’s cameo role in a new X-Men movie came during a brisk two-mile stroll up snowy Mount Paektu a week or so ago, as reported by the state-controlled Korean Central News Agency.

 

The 9,000-foot mountain is normally a wintry mess in December, according to the news agency, but during Kim’s visit, it was a “marvelous scene with glee at the reappearance of its great master.” When Kim ascended to the top, the mountain showed “fine weather unprecedented.”

OK, we know he's a nut case - nearly as screwed as the people who gather around him to put him on a pedestal, and always laugh at any utterance of his they're supposed to laugh at.  Actually, I notice similar, but not as extreme, around Thailand Prayut.  In public, he always has an entourage close by, and whenever Prayut makes a comment about something which he thinks should be witty, all the sheeple around him grin and chuckle, as they're required.   Is it just an Asian thing?

Definitely not just an Asian thing:

 

"Once Trump finished touting his administration's accomplishments, he turned to several of his newly-minted Cabinet secretaries like Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue. Each of those Cabinet secretaries lavished praise on Trump, which he accepted without comment but with a broad smile".
