Washington • George W. Bush once said that to get a message across you had to repeat it over and over, “to kind of catapult the propaganda.” Donald Trump must have been paying attention.

Last week, in the White House, we saw a spectacle that would have embarrassed even Trump’s cult-of-personality role model, Kim Jong Un.
