He replied that he was “mentally deranged”.
Among his strange decisions, he determined the hairstyles that distinguish married women from unmarried women, and set 28 haircuts for men, provided that the two hairs were shaved above the ears, and the length of the hair should not be more than 5 centimeters.
Among the controversial decisions, he issued on the tenth anniversary (last year) of the death of his father, Kim Jong Il, in December, a decree prohibiting citizens from laughing for 11 days as a period of mourning.

Nicolae Ceausescu
On Christmas Day 1989, Romania’s president and the country’s last communist leader Nicolae Ceausescu, along with his wife Elena, were publicly executed by firing squad after nearly a quarter century in power.

Among some of his most outlandish works, Ceausescu destroyed 25 churches and 30,000 homes to build a palace for himself that took 700 architects at a cost of $10 billion, which later became the seat of the Roman Parliament, but less than half of the building was used for its massiveness.
Muammar Gaddafi
As for Libya, its late leader Muammar Gaddafi used to live most of his time in his spacious tent that he pitched in the desert of Sirte, or in the lobby of his various palaces, where he receives his great guests and holds conferences, and delivers hours-long speeches, spreading his wisdom, philosophy, insults and thoughts to the world.
Gaddafi’s ideas were and still cause widespread controversy in public opinion, especially the theory of the Jamahiriya, which he tried to explain as a system of government that is neither a monarchy nor a republic, but rather a system of rule by the masses themselves, stressing that it is neither a president nor a ruler, but rather the people who govern themselves through conferences. The people, which are the source of legislation, and the revolutionary committees, which are the executive body.
However, in the end, the matter ended with the disruption of all state agencies, and all the levers of power, wealth, influence and political thinking were in the hands of Gaddafi and a few members of his family and his cronies.
