Kim or Trump? Hanoi barber offers leaders' hairdos for free

HANOI, Vietnam (AP) — At a barbershop tucked away in a Hanoi alley, Le Phuc Hai patiently waits for the dye to turn his black hair the orange shade of President Donald Trump's locks.

On a chair next to him, 9-year-old To Gia Huy emerges as the spitting image of a miniature Kim Jong Un.

"Many people say that I look like Kim Jong Un, especially when I have this hairstyle," said Huy, who is nicknamed "Un" for his likeness to the North Korean leader.

He was unable to hide his excitement that Kim is coming to the Vietnamese capital next week for his second summit with the American president, and hopes for a chance to see Kim in person.

I wonder if it's a fad sort of thing over there. Which sets my imagination into a place where I can picture most of the crowds that MF45 and the other guy see are dressed up to look like them. Hair and all, a sea of idiots and Kims looking back at them.

Hmmm.

But since he is stuck with it, I hope he can make some money over his fame.
