Leni Riefenstahl Lives!!

Did you realize that Leni Riefenstahl--Hitler's favorite film maker--had been reincarnated for the Trumpster/Kim Jong un Summit? Because what could be better for a scam/photo-op negotiation than a film to make everyone feel warm and fuzzy and even make Dennis Rodman weep with joy?

Prepare to be amazed:

It’s worth noting that when journalists first glimpsed this clip they thought it was North Korean propaganda. But no. This is pure Trumpian, taking notes and lessons from the Master Propagandists of the past.

Oh Leni! We hardly knew ye.

the rebirth

I watched this and thought: okay, we've really entered a time warp. I mean do the Trumpsters think they can outplay Kim on propaganda? Or that a faux clip like this will garner a Nobel Prize?

Stunning.

I said elsewhere that I can imagine Russia and China standing on the sidelines nodding, shouting out a cheer:

What a good student you are, Donny. Good boy!
