Japan's First Lady pretended not to speak English at the G20 dinner so she didn't have to speak to Trump
Trump told reporters: "So, I was seated next to the wife of Prime Minister Abe [Shinzo Abe of Japan], who I think is a terrific guy, and she’s a terrific woman, but doesn’t speak English."
Asked if it was "nothing, like zero", he replied: "Like, not “hello.”
He went on to say the evening had been "hard" because the meal went on for "probably an hour and 45 minutes."
He added: "So I’m sitting there. There was one interpreter for Japanese, ’cause otherwise it would have been even tougher. But I enjoyed the evening with her, and she’s really a lovely woman, and I enjoyed — the whole thing was good."
"And while it's possible Trump just assumed she didn't speak English and didn't bother to talk to her, the other explanation has made people very happy indeed."
Trump was seated between the Japanese First Lady and the Argentinian First Lady
Melania was seated between Putin & the Argentinian President.
Melania and Putin both speak German.

If that were the case it would have been very disrespectful of her.
