Even assuming that is real (which it seems like not) Trump is not far behind, he is a dictator at the top of a chain of command that ends with hiring racist hooligans to ICE and effectively allowing immigrant executions to scare people off. And to top it he is a also child rapist and a global menace so really hard to beat.

No, I mean like an actual source and not obvious bullshit propaganda, lol.
Even Wikipedia acknowledges it’s probably horse shit: Several hours after the initial report, South Korea’s National Intelligence Service revised its statement, saying that although it has intelligence information suggesting that Hyon was executed, it had not been able to verify that. Doubts were raised because footage of Hyon was still being shown on North Korean television.[17] He was also mentioned in the North Korean newspaper Rodong Sinmun the day he was supposed to have been executed. This would imply that he had been arrested and executed on the same day, which is unlikely.[18] In July, official North Korea media named Pak Yong-sik as the armed forces minister, but did not report Hyon’s removal.[19] A South Korean spokesman said that reports of Hyon’s execution should be taken as rumors until there was definitive evidence.
