Who takes over North Korea now?

[brettdale]

That it appears, Trump's best buddy is dead.

[PupCamo]

1. Ivana?

the husband?

[GreenPartyVoter]

2. What???

[Newest Reality]

3. They can have Trumo!

He would be perfect for them and vica versa.

Too bad that can't be arranged.

[zackymilly]

4. Dennis Rodman?

[Blue Owl]

6. That'd be my guess...

[dchill]

5. Dr. Evil.

[SoonerPride]

7. Jared obviously

He already solved Middle East peace
And oversaw all the PPE that was THEIRS

He’s the natural choice

[eleny]

9. He's never too busy

[Igel]

8. Sister? Would a woman be allowed? n/t

[Hoyt]

13. Will be interesting to see. Who knows, maybe NKoreans are ready for a change.

[Wellstone ruled]

22. Best guess,

she was given full Political Status two weeks ago by the Proletariat.

[BGBD]

26. He has

two sisters who could be placed into power. He also has a son. Since the Kims are essentially seen a God-Kings, I'd put money on the 7-year old son ruling through a reagent.

He also has an older brother who apparently loves Eric Clapton. He doesn't seem interested in politics though.

[Wellstone ruled]

27. Going to be real interesting

if the Sister is just a place holder for the 7 year old.

[OAITW r.2.0]

10. China. nt

[underpants]

11. I don't see anything saying he's dead. Nt

[brettdale]

16. nbc reports

Saying he is Brain dead, after his operation.

I would hate to be the doctor that operated on him.

[NYC Liberal]

30. The doctor will probably be joining him soon, if he hasn't already.

[meow2u3]

12. South Korea, I hope

BTA, I wouldn't put it past Kim Jung Un to try to pull a fast one on us.

[defacto7]

14. His sister I think.

[Totally Tunsie]

28. Yes. She was always lurking in the background during Chump's

visits. It was reported at that time that she yields a lot of power in her brother's regime. It could quite possibly be she who takes charge.

[sakabatou]

15. Someone in his family, someone in his inner circle or someone in the military.

Those are who I can see take leadership.

[Celerity]

17. IF he is dead, well just goes to show, EVERYTHING Rump touches, dies

[GulfCoast66]

18. China. Hopefully.

They’ve grown tired of the whole family down there. I look for them to put a stop to the shit show.

South Korea can deal with the Chinese.

[LizBeth]

19. I have to catch up. Looks like missed something.

[FM123]

20. Katy Tur just deleted tweet then apologized for saying he was brain dead already.

@KatyTurNBC
I’ve deleted that last tweet out of an abundance of caution. Waiting on more info. Apologies.

21. Kim Jong Un's sister, maybe? nt

[doc03]

23. Kim Jung-Mentally Ill

[2naSalit]

24. China. ...nt

[Sgent]

25. I would guess his sister

since she's the only one old enough who is a Kim. He has a young daughter and maybe other kids (its speculated). He also has a living brother that is not active in politics.

Whether the sister takes over permanently or temporarily until her niece is ready is speculation. She has been active politically but might get upstaged by a military / police leader as well -- although she was just installed in yet another honorary position.

[Progressive Jones]

29. If there's enough dislike for the NK regime in the military,

there could be a military takeover/coup/whatever.

[NYC Liberal]

31. Maybe Trump can take over and be the dictator he's always wanted to be.

[sarisataka]

32. Kim may be a horrible human being but

I cannot find any humor in the thought of a power vacuum in North Korea.

Seoul is home to over 9 million people and within rocket range of the DMZ
