Trump Made Kim a Movie Trailer. We Made It Better.

Post by _Some Schmo »

If you've watched the promotional video that Drumpf commissioned to show Kim, you'll know it was a cheesy mess of 20th century style propaganda.

The New York Times re-cut it, and it's awesome.

I recommend watching the original first if you haven't seen it already... well, "recommend" isn't quite the right word. What I'm saying is you should endure it once for context.

And keep in mind - tax payers paid for Drumpf's propaganda video (along with his golf, his unnecessarily increased security requirements, the number of days off he takes, his kleptocracy, his quickening of the rapture...)

It was supposedly created by “Destiny Pictures,” which Reuters says is an LA-based company. But founder Mark Castaldo said his company “had no involvement in the video.” Castaldo surmised that Trump and company used the name “Destiny Pictures” to symbolize the future or something."

I found the original video to be inspiring, full of hope and possibility if Kim does the right things for his people and the world.
I found the "remake" to be petty, lacking any substance and inspiration, nothing more than simply mocking of the President.

Truly sad what you all think makes "better". One was professional and of class, the other lacked anything whatsoever "redeeming".

Well, certainly the risk was taken when they allowed audio of Trump in the 'remake'.

Plus one was a "C" grade video specifically designed to appeal to the narcissism and short attention spans of both leaders, and the other was made by the New York Times.

It was probably an assignment given to the new White House Interns as a way of getting Trump to stay on track during the meeting.
