WNU Editor: She has always been with North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un in the past, and she will be in the future. She is not a threat, and she is certainly not a liability. So no .... she has not fallen from favour.

If she was demoted it could signal that there was a need, a very big need, to make changes internally. Likely from hardliners. She probably wanted to join the western lifestyle, travel, be free, have family without starvation.. normal stuff.. and she probably talked him into making a deal quickly or trying to talk trump into something during the 2nd meeting.. she probably thought Trump needs a deal when his poll numbers slipped and was hoping for quick freedom.. well.. don't underestimate Trump. Obama did the same during the white house correspondence dinner. I remember :D
