After the death of his father, Kim Jong-Il, Workers Party of North Korea proclaimed his son, Kim Jong-Un as the "Great Successor" and new leader of the country.

Cuban Fidel Castro made a suggestion for American people: vote for a robot this November. Former Cuban President, in his latest op-ed, stated that "90 percent of voting Americans, especially Hispanics, blacks and the growing number of the impoverished middle class, would vote for the robot."

Now, if we are to consider HAL9000 (Artificial Intelligence from 2001:A Space Odyssey) as a serious candidate, we should compare him to the current White House incumbent in a imagined debate.
