Perhaps the most showy appearance at the Seoul WInter Olympics opening ceremony was that of the North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un, accompanied by the President of the United States Donald Trump.   https://twitter.com/adore13/status/961928829554999296 Or rather an Australian Kim Jong-Un impersonator called Howard and an American Donald Trump lookalike called Dennis Alan. Though as the world's media snapped away at them the pair were rather unceremoniously ejected from the opening ceremony after causing a commotion.   https://twitter.com/ajrod/status/961971792599396352 The impressionists wanted "to...
