Historical trip and the 12 foreign trip of his equally historical presidency. Golf is on the calendar along with the Sumo contest. Trade and talks about NK & Iran are planed along with other events !!! Its primarily a noted personal relationship visit. A planned 4 day visit.
Historical, compared to who.

Looks like AF 1 will need replacement just from his golf trips to FL alone. The question is where will he golf in Alaska.

If he doesn't puke on Prime Minister Shinzo Abe it will be a big success !!!

Watch out: Protocol pitfalls abound as Trump heads
https://japantoday.com/category/feat...p-heads-abroad

In 1992, President George H.W. Bush slumped over and vomited in the lap of Japan's prime minister during a state banquet in Tokyo.

Protocol has stumped other presidents and dignitaries, too.

" Trump leaving for Japan today" IMPOSSIBLE! Another lefty poster said he was "going on vacation" again, when he was just going to FL for the week end!

How is he a clod and a klutz, he is not related to Hillary

Historic according to the Japanese !!!

On an ice cap or a democrats skull cap, what difference does it make, as long as the divots are replaced ?

Meanwhile back in Japan ( from link )

The leaders played 16 holes Sunday on a golf course south of Tokyo.
Afterward, Abe told reporters: "We were able to exchange views in a cozy atmosphere. It was wonderful."

We all know what a golf tee and the democrats have in common.


They both want to hold the Presidents balls on and off the golf course !!!

What a successful trip!

Abe served President Trump with double cheeseburger with American beef!

I think the trade talk will be a success. This is all that matters.

What tradition? The entire tournament was a ginned up one-off show to make Trump feel super-duper important, right down to the comically over-sized trophy (which the old man couldn't have lifted if his life depended on it.) Speaking of tradition, had Donnie been following it he would have plopped his ample rear end on a zabuton cushion rather than plant his fanny on a chair. Heaven forbid allowing the world to see Trump unable to hoist himself off the ground on his own. Guess he used the FDR card except FDR was really disabled instead of just being an out-of-shape tub of goo.

BTW - Real classy on Trump's part talking smack about a former United States Vice-President on foreign soil. Had anyone else shot their mouth off like that you Trumpies would have been soiling your shorts (and rightly so).
