Daily Mail: Kim Jong-un's photo-op meeting with Trump 'has backfired because North Koreans question why THEIR leader was so desperate to meet the US President'
* Kim Jong-un's eagerness is said to have undermined his image as a strong leader
* There has also been criticism of Pyongyang's overblown propaganda on the talks
* The two leaders met in the DMZ between North and South in a surprise summit
Kim Jong-un's impromptu meeting with Donald Trump last week has gone down badly in North Korea where people are unsure why their leader rushed to meet the U.S. President, it has been claimed.
Kim's eagerness to meet Trump has undermined the picture that Pyongyang paints of a powerful and proactive leader, a source told Korean media.
There has also been criticism of Pyongyang's overblown propaganda, after the North declared the encounter a 'historic' meeting'.
The surprise meeting in the DMZ that divides North and South Korea brought a promise to resume nuclear talks after months of angry exchanges, but critics dismissed it as an act of political theatre.

WNU Editor: The above Daily Mail reporter is forgetting that North Korea is a communist run dictatorship. There are dire consequences if you criticize the leader. But if I was to hazard a guess, I would say that the overwhelming majority of North Koreans are supportive of Kim Jong-un's policies to reconcile with South Korea and the U.S.. They are like us. They want a better life, and they want an end to the war rhetoric of the past 70 years.
Update: Many obstacles still remain .... Even for a limited nuclear deal, North Korea may settle for nothing less than sanctions relief (Reuters).

That entire Daily Mail article, like the vast majority of their articles, is bogus.
Who in their right mind would openly speak against Kim Jong-un? What a crock of shite.
Every article written on NK uses "sources" that defected to the south anywhere from 1-20 years ago. Even though their source hasn't spoken to anyone inside the country in that long, helping produce propaganda as a perpetual "North Korean insider" is often their only job opportunity. And so we get these articles all the time, where the sources just tell the journalist a bunch of shit that they want to hear.
NK defectors are so dense they can't figure a way to keep in contact with those they left behind hence their articles are worthless?
Oh. Ok. I got it now.
Let's be clear what is happening here. Trump is dating China's daughter.
Who is china's daughter?
Taiwan-a hump-alot? ;)
