However, it was a 2 1/2 day train ride. Why would this information be important?
Kim Jong Un took a laborious 2.5-day train ride to meet Trump in Vietnam, and it could be because he's too embarrassed to borrow a plane from China
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is taking a 2,000-mile, 2-1/2-day train ride to meet US President Donald Trump in Vietnam this Wednesday, most likely to save face because he doesn't want to ask China to lend him a plane.
Kim boarded his family's armored train at Pyongyang Station on Saturday evening, and he arrived in the Vietnamese capital of Hanoi on Tuesday morning, the day before his summit is scheduled there with Trump.
Kim left his train at Dong Dang, a Vietnamese town by the Chinese border, early Tuesday morning and traveled the last 105 miles or so to Hanoi by car.
According to INSIDER's calculations, the trip spanned at least 2,000 miles.
Kim crossed into Dandong, a Chinese city bordering North Korea, late Saturday, The Associated Press reported. The trip took him through southeastern China before eventually arrived in Vietnam.
He passed by the southeastern Chinese city of Hengyang around Monday afternoon local time, South Korea's Yonhap news agency reported.
Footage Japan's TBS news channel showed Kim taking a cigarette break as the train took a quick stop in Nanning, southern China, before dawn on Tuesday. His sister, Kim Yo Jong, can be seen carrying a crystal ash tray for him.

Pretty sure scheduling in this long train route is more hassle for the Chinese than loaning him a plane.
The significance of the 3 days travel (one way!) is that Kim reserved a total of 8+ days for a relatively brief meeting with Trump.
How many people do you know that would free 8 days just to chat with you for a few hours? Only people that highly respect you, love you or are extremely desperate would do so.
To me this is a stronger message than any memorandum or agreement could have been. Kim made considerable effort to meet Trump.

That is great insight. I didn't think of that. It was well worth the trip, I'm sure.

Trump leased Nelson Mandela a plane for his early US tour when no one else would.

People were saying she wasn't on this trip. I guess she was, just kept a low profile?

You mean Fake News?

I don't know, I just remember reading it in some threads ( I read so much here on Voat, hard to keep it all straight!), so I don't know the source.. I remember how MSM was all over her at the Olympics, so I figured they'd be all over her in Hanoi if she was there.
But, yeah, probably Fake News being Fake News. Which, BTW, makes me curious to see how the Dems investigation of POTUS/Fake News goes. Cuz we know there's NO examples of fake news anywhere! 🤯
