I found the phrase for it just now. The entire thing was orchestrated as a humiliation ritual That was its intent. Why TASS was there for a few minutes. Why the reporters were asking stupider than usual questions. Why Vance and Trump and Hegseth did the 3 vs 1 making 7 yr old level bully requests “say THANK YOU” – then asking him to leave the White House. The weakness of these grown men to deliberately take on this task and in such a juvenile manner. Vance’s “don’t talk to my pop pop that way – he’ll kick your ass!” attitude really was extra embarrassing.
