I know the Trump – Kim Jong Un news was everywhere yesterday, and it was rather tiring after the 9th hour of coverage, but it was kind of a big deal.
We ran through six videos that summed up their meeting here, including all the smoke Donnie blew up Kim’s backside, but it would be remiss of us to skip out on showing you this pearler.
Trump said he urged Kim and other North Korean officials to watch this four-minute video, and they duly did so, the dictator “and other senior members of the North Korean delegation huddled around an iPad to watch the video”.
So they couldn’t have set up a projector screen or anything? According to ABC, “the video was produced by the US Government to help persuade Mr Kim to make a deal, a White House official said”.
Buckle up and enjoy this video made by the White House:
So the White House is just straight up assuming other world leaders are as daft as their own incumbent now? Cool.
Pity the poor guy accused of making that garbage:
The credit on the video said it was produced by Destiny Pictures, which disrupted the morning of Mark Castaldo, who owns a Los Angeles-based production company with the same name, albeit with a different logo than the one in the video.
“We had nothing to do with that film,” Mr Castaldo said in a telephone interview, adding he had awoken to a deluge of calls and emails from journalists around the world.
“Propaganda, all that stuff, that’s not something we’d get involved in.”
We touched on this briefly yesterday, but now that the video has emerged let’s relive this moment:
Trump to photographers: Are you taking good pictures so we look ‘nice and handsome and thin?’

Here’s the thing – Trump genuinely thinks that qualifies as humour. He’s hilarious, and he has the best memory:
Who needs a written record of the Trump Kim meeting when we have one of the great memories of all time… pic.twitter.com/uY6cD8XAHk

Best memory. Best words.
I guess that’s why his response to Robert De Niro’s Tony Awards speech, where he shouted “Fuck Trump” twice, has a typo:
“Too many shots”, pal.
Your president.
