The video marketers prefer feelgood videos of abundance and wealth and the stirring narrations by golden baritones of reality TV and Superbowl Sunday.

Brought to you by the same people that gave you the laugh track, lip synching and clickbait. I’d move to Canada but I’m afraid I’ll be turned back at the border.

Pro tip: Page loads with sound muted, which is so thoughtful you might find it confusing.

It seems to work without paywall restrictions, though I might just be under their free limit.

Reporters crowded into a Singapore auditorium Tuesday, expecting President Trump to walk out and announce the results of his historic meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

Suddenly, two huge screens on either side of the empty podium came to life. Soaring music boomed over the speakers, and the reporters were bombarded with a montage portraying North Korea as some sort of paradise.

Golden sunrises, gleaming skylines and high-speed trains. Children skipping through Kim Il Sung square in Pyongyang. North Korean flags fluttering between images of Egyptian pyramids, the Taj Mahal and the Lincoln Memorial.

In a split-screen shot, Kim Jong Un waved to an adoring crowd while President Trump stood beside him with his thumb in the air. The pair appeared over and over again, like running mates in a campaign video.

The film went on like this for more than four minutes, with brief interludes of missiles, soldiers and warships interrupting the pageantry. Some journalists, unable to understand the Korean-language narration, assumed they were watching one of Pyongyang’s infamous propaganda films. “What country are we in?” asked a reporter from the filing center.

But then the video looped, playing this time in English. And then Trump walked onto the stage and confirmed what some had already realized.

The film was not North Korean propaganda. It had been made in America, by or on the orders of his White House, for the benefit of Kim.

“I hope you liked it,” Trump told the reporters. “I thought it was good. I thought it was interesting enough to show. … And I think he loved it.”

The crowd sounded skeptical. Some wondered if Trump had not, in fact, just provided U.S.-sanctioned propaganda to one of the country’s oldest adversaries.

That must be the MAGA they spoke so much about…

America should be proud of its post-war occupation of Japan. Even though we flattened the country and killed millions of its people, even with nuclear weapons, our occupation was for the most part benign and honorable. We introduced democracy, re-established their industry, and allowed them to re-enter the community of nations as an economic powerhouse. They cast aside their own warrior traditions and chose the path of peace under our protection.

But I believe they are having second thoughts.
