The Hanoi summit will last two days. It took Kim longer than that just to get there.

Apparently Kim's train can only reach 38 mph.

Kim Jong Un took the scenic route to meet Donald Trump in Hanoi, spending 66 hours on a slow plod through China on an armor-plated train.

The North Korean leader set out from Pyongyang at 5 p.m. Saturday, arriving in the Vietnam capital Tuesday morning. The last leg of the journey from the Chinese border was made in an armor-plated Mercedes-Benz limousine.

The long trip was reportedly necessary because Kim’s 40-year-old, Soviet-made Ilyushin Il-62 aircraft needs repair — and the Supreme Leader was reluctant to ask China for spare parts. It seems Kim also didn’t want to ask Beijing for another loan of the Boeing 747 he borrowed from Air China last June to travel to his first summit with Donald Trump, in Singapore.

3. Nuclear weapons, but no spare parts.

Good job making Kim look like a co-equal, President Asshole.

At this rate, it looks like the Kim Dynasty will never fall - it's far too useful to the powerful.
