North Korean state media has praised US presidential hopeful Donald Trump, describing him as a wise politician and far-sighted candidate who could help unify the Korean peninsula.
An editorial in DPRK Today, an official media outlet, welcomed the Republican presidential candidates proposal to hold direct talks with Kim Jong-un, saying he could help bring about Pyongyangs Yankee go home policy.
There are many positive aspects to Trumps inflammatory policies, wrote Han Yong-mook, who described himself as a Chinese North Korean scholar.
Trump said he will not get involved in the war between the South and the North, isnt this fortunate from North Korea perspective?
Analysts said that although the editorial was not officially from Pyongyang, it was sure to reflect thinking inside the regime.

NK has rewritten the manual for being considered crazy.
