No one ever went broke, the saying goes, by underestimating the intelligence of the American public. But did anyone ever secure world peace by overestimating the gullibility of a dictator?

The faux movie trailer Donald Trump showed Kim Jong-un on his iPad during their meeting in Singapore is a masterpiece of bad storytelling. If there were a filmic equivalent to literature’s bad sex award, this four-minute production from "Destiny Pictures" would surely win it hands (or pants) down.

"Seven billion people inhabit planet Earth," the Trailer Man voiceover begins. "Of those alive today, only a small number will leave a lasting impact. And only the very few will make decisions or take actions that renew their homeland and change the course of history."

Goodness, who could the heroes of this exciting tale of exceptionalism be? Why, at the word "actions" an image of Donald Trump appears; at the word "homeland" we get the first appearance of Kim. Who knew?
