Does anyone know what the point of this was? Why was it televised? What was the point of this meeting in the first place?

Cabinet meetings are fairly common. I'd guess every modern President has them. They're usually a time to set goals or sell ideas like we'd like to get x done or doing x will help y.
The meetings are usually photo ops this one just went in a crazy direction

Funny how these super-wealthy, white-haired elites and execs praise their "blessings and opportunity" while repeatedly using the expression "the American people". Except I can't see one single thing they did for the "American people". Name one thing this administration did FOR the American people. Please. Only one!

Ah, it was his first full cabinet meeting. Now it makes sense (well not the ridiculous amount of ass kissing).

The Cabinet is for pictures and stories and publicity," said Bradley H. Patterson Jr., who has worked for three administrations and has written several books on the inner workings of the White House.

When an authoritarian is in power, loyalty is proven by defending crystal clear bullshit, even when it makes you look like an idiot while doing it. It also fosters tribal identity, as you defend the bullshit together and reinforce each other. Like I've said a thousand times, modern US conservatism is held up by the twin pillars of projection and cognitive dissonance.

For example, crowds of Stalin would often give applause for extended lengths of time because they didn't want to be seen not clapping for Leader.

I just read this a few days ago. This "cabinet meeting" seems about par for the course.

Just came to post this. It's North Korea in the White House. Dear Leader level of fucked up demanded and delivered adulation. This guy has serious issues and it speaks volumes about the 'quality' of people who have chosen to stick around him when this is what is expected. They're all bending over for the Idiot King. Explains a lot about why people have quit and turned down appointments, they must have had a level above zero on the self respect measurement.

Wasn't there a story that Kim Jong Un passed a law declaring all male citizens had to have the same haircut as him?
Maybe Trump will try that one next?

North Korea is a fake news story that your lying politicians and lying media propagate. Are you telling me that America with its trillions of dollars of war machinery should fear a country with weapons from the 1950s? A country that supposedly can't even feed its people? A country that has one of the weakest economies in the world?

If we go by what the American politicians and the lying media tell us, Americans should hide under their desks when Kim Jung whoever utters anything.

(As for Trump, meh. Just another distraction/side story.)

who is currently scared of North Korea? i really don't think anyone is.

the problem is that they could be a direct danger to the US in the future and that they are a danger to everyone in their region currently.

so again, what's this big lie about North Korea you are talking about?

There is nothing really off topic. Everything is connected in the end.

The point is that America always needs a boogeyman or boogeymen.

See, this propaganda is working. People are believing that N. Korea "could be a direct danger to the US in the future." Mission accomplished as they would say. The media and the politicians are doing a fine job at "educating" the American people about our "enemies."

Keep on fearing.

You remind me of Clint Eastwood. Not manly rugged Clint Eastwood. I mean the Clint Eastwood who yelled at an empty chair for awhile.

NK is currently developing a nuclear program and a ICBM system, that isn't fear, that's reality.

you don't peddle reality, you peddle conspiracy and fake news.

What incentive does N Korea have of attacking US?

Please tell me.

Do you have any reasoning or do you only repeat media/politician propaganda?

If N Korea launches a football at America it knows how America would respond. LOL.

Again, what incentive does it have to launching a scary ICBM at America? Does N Korea want to be totally annihilated? I guess your media did its job in "educating" you about how crazy those North Koreans are.

Except when you're the size of let's say Trump's hand and the biggest guy is the size of the statue of liberty's hand I don't think your punch will do much harm.
