Kim Jong Un. Alive, dead, or artifically alive? At today's press conference, some Asian reporter today asked about Kim Jong Un's condition after South Korea reported he was vacationing at the coast.  President deflected the question saying he knew what Kim's condition was but he wasn't going to discuss it and hoped he was doing well and that they had a good relationship. The reporter then asked why POTUS wouldn't agree that Kim Jong Un was fine since he made a statement on Saturday...and POTUS interrupted her and in a surprised tone he said, 'Kim Jong Un made a statement on Saturday? I don't think so.' or words to that effect.   Given POTUS' likely knowledge of Kim's condition and the way he immediately rebutted the statement that Kim released a statement on Saturday left me with the strong impression that Kim is either on life support or dead.   What's the general consensus here? I think he's dead.
