Vietnam Welcomes ‘Trump 1’ and ‘Kim’


In Hanoi, Vietnam Friday, cars stopped and tourists took a second look at what appeared to be North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and American President Donald Trump.


In front of the historic 2 Metropole Hotel, “Kim” hugged "Trump”, and said, “Last time we did it in Singapore, which is kind of his territory. Now we are in my territory with my comrades.”


Wait a minute! Isn't their meeting to happen next week?


That's right. The man who looked like Kim is Howard X, an Australian man who has been impersonating the North Korean leader for some time. He has the same style of haircut and eyeglasses.


X was at the 2018 Olympics in South Korea. Singapore officials told him to stay away from Sentosa Island when the real Kim met with Trump last June.


Howard X was joined in Hanoi by Russell White, a Trump impersonator. Reporters with cameras surrounded the two men at the hotel briefly 3 before employees asked them to leave.


Vietnam is to welcome the real Trump and the real Kim next week. The flags of Vietnam, the United States and North Korea line the streets in preparation for the meeting.


At a hair cutting shop on De La Thanh Street in Hanoi, people wanted to get styles similar to that of Kim or Trump.


Le Tuan Duong, its owner, said he had 200 customers in just two days. Duong said, “Kim’s style is a lot more popular among [his] customers.” He added Kim’s hair shows youth, while Trump’s suggests power.


The free haircut is available until February 28, when the summit 4 ends.

After their meeting in Singapore last June, Trump said the nuclear threat was over. But the president has since lowered expectations of a “complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.”


Just this week, Trump told reporters in the Oval 5 Office, “We’re going to have our meeting . . . As long as there’s no testing, I’m in no rush. If there’s testing, that’s another deal.”
