Trump says he'll be guest of honor at Japan's 'biggest event' in 'over 200 years'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Trump on Thursday boasted that he will be the guest of honor at Japan's "biggest event" in "over 200 years" when he visits the country this weekend to meet with the prime minister and new emperor.

During an impromptu Q&A with reporters in the Roosevelt Room of the White House, Trump was asked whether he believes he can work out a trade deal with Japan in the near future. The president did not answer, but played up the historic nature of his state visit.

“It’s a very big thing going on with the emperor," Trump said. "It’s something that hasn’t happened in over 200 years. I am the guest, meaning the United States is the guest, but Prime Minister Abe said to me very specifically, 'You are the guest of honor. There’s only one guest of honor. You are the guest of honor.'"

"With all the countries of the world I am the guest of honor at the biggest event that they’ve had in over 200 years," Trump said. "So it’s a great thing. And we get along very well with Japan. I get along very well with the prime minister so we’re going to be spending two days over there."

Trump wouldn't mind being known as King Shit of Turd Mountain because it's a title and calls him king.

Sad sack.

There is no real reason for this meeting other than the stroking of trump.

He'll be back in Japan in a month for the G-20 June 28th & 29th

Flattery will get you a visit from the American shitstain.

Really pretty smart on his part. Drumpf will give away the Hawaiian islands to Abe if Abe says he likes his golf swing. Doing his best for Japan my manipulating drumpf.

31. Arrives in Japan with his Asia policy in tatters, to Abe's benefit

Analysis by James Griffiths, CNN

... the timing of his Japan trip couldn't be better for Abe.

An expected trade deal with China dramatically fell apart this month as Beijing appeared to push its luck with Trump, sparking an angry response and billions of dollars in extra tariffs. The rapidly expanding trade war is expected to hit US consumers hard, leaving many businesses -- including those typically supportive of Trump -- bewildered and angry.

"The President of the United States owes farmers like myself some type of plan of action," John Wesley Boyd Jr., a soybean farmer in Baskerville, Virginia, told CNN. "Farmers were his base. They helped elect this president ... and now he's turning his back on America's farmers when we need him the most."

Trump will look to Japan to offer some relief on trade, or at least an easy win. Last month, the two sides held the first round of negotiations towards a trade agreement. While Trump has spoken of a need to address the trade imbalance with Japan -- a $67.7 billion deficit in 2018 -- his advisers and both Republicans and Democrats have urged him to ease up on tariffs when it comes to allies and focus on China ...

14. he's spending god knows how many millions to stroke his ego...

[pangaia]

15. What 'event' is he talking about?

The new emperor and the new Reiwa Era? He thinks THAT'S the biggest even in Japan in 200 years?? He's fucking nuts..

I wonder how much consideration to-
- Hiroshima and Nagasaki,
- the beginning of the Showa Era when Hirohito was Emperor- 1926-1989.
- the Heisei Era when Akihito was Emperor
- the Meiji Restoration the end of the Tokugawa Shogunate in 1868
- the arrival of Admiral Perry in 1853

Just for starters...
Of course he has never even heard of any of these events..

[Generic Other]

19. 2011 tōhoku earthquake and tsunami

Abe should be ashamed of himself toadying up to Trump.

[pangaia]

53. Thank you...

No. Abe is fine. A Japanese would never show shame, or shame another.

Well, most Japanese. Things change..

[pwb]

16. Yea the Hill would say that.

17. OK, Mr. Fat Boy just officially triggered my fuse

I would hazard to say his was NOT the biggest event to hit Japan in 200 years.

24. What an utter embarrassment this man is.

Biggest event in Japan in 200 years?

Bigger than the end of the Tokugawa shogunate and the Meiji Restoration?

Bigger than the Russo-Japanese War?

The Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere?

The Second World War in the Pacific?

Two fucking atomic bombs?!

Earthquakes, tsunamis, and nuclear meltdowns?

Fucking Godzilla?!

Crack a book, you addlepated fuckwit!

This fat, fucking ego knows no bounds. He makes me sick.

[Ghost Dog]

43. It's because he intends to be an emperor too. n/t

25. "People don't know this but Japan hasn't had a new emperor in over 200 years!"

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

27. Wow, those Japanese emperors are long-lived!

Actually, there have been seven of them in the last 200 years. But who's counting?

[SCVDem]

26. I bet that

Pres.Obama has read Shogun.

I did when I was stationed in Iwakuni, MCAS in 75.

Fascinating book by James Clavell. Of course the orange ass does not read or educate himself on anything

Such a national embarrassment!

[Dave Starsky]

38. I read Shogun the summer after 9th grade.

My dad said that it was a book that I HAD to read, because I wouldn't just read it, but I would actually live it. It was so engrossing in the milieu it describes, that reading it would almost become like living a second life to me.

I thought he was nuts. That book was as big as the Webster's dictionary, and it had long passages of dialogue written in phonetic Japanese in Italic font. The subject matter was historical English-Japanese stuff. Who cares? I couldn't think of anything more boring or horrible.

But I started reading it anyway. I would just give it a couple of chapters, then tell my dad that I was too busy with the summer job to read any more.

But my dad was absolutely right. I was hooked from the end of the first chapter. One of my fondest memories of that summer was reading that book. It sits alongside The Lord of the Rings and Le Morte d'Arthur as one of the greatest epics I've ever read from start to finish.

[Codeine]

39. I'm a big fan of Japanese history

and I haven’t read Shogun. Maybe I should grab a copy and see what the fuss is.

[Dave Starsky]

41. You will not be sorry.

It truly is an incredible book. There's a reason why it was a huge bestseller then and still is today.

[Backseat Driver]

55. I won't ever forget reading that book, Angin-san,

and then trying to prepare a ritual tea ceremony so as to drink tea from the empty cup, being more interested in the developing romantic chemistry of the relationship with his translator than the bloody rumblings of the warlords, but I did go on to read other Clavell novels through Whirlwind; enjoyed them all.

[Dave Starsky]

56. You fail, Anjin-San! Sep-puku for you!

I went into high school speaking more Japanese than any of my classmates, and all of the Japanese language that I ever spoke was from the phonetic passages Clavell wrote in Shogun.

[SCVDem]

64. Since I was in Japan

As soon as I was off duty it was back to the barracks to resume. Mariko San. It was more real because Era casties and Kintai were a bike ride. Hiroshima a short trip by rail?
The last book that had me was the Bounty trioligy. Mutiny, Men at Sea and Pitcairns Island. A great adventure for our kids!

Don't touch the mustache! Asahi Extra Dry.

[LostinRed]

28. It's embarrassing to have a President

The whole world knows how to manipulate by stroking his fragile ego.

[Croney]

29. In 1945, over 100,000 people died in bombings.

But the orange shit wasn't born until 1946, so his birth cancels out those lives.

If I believed in ghosts, I'd wish extreme visitation upon his ugly ass the minute his plane lands.

[Paladin]

30. I used to think trump couldn't get any smaller or pathetic.

I don't think that way anymore---I got tired of him proving me wrong, over and over again.

[Blue Owl]

32. Can't ya just see him barging through one of those paper walls

Like the big, dumb idiot he is...

[smirkymonkey]

34. Ladies and Gentlemen, presenting the World's Greatest Asshole!

Behold him.

35. Trump said 'samurai' Japan should have shot down overflying North Korean missiles

https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2017/11/05/national/politics-diplomacy/trump-said-japan-shot-overflying-north-korea-missiles/#.XOhifBYzbIV

WASHINGTON - U.S. President Donald Trump has said Japan should have shot down the North Korean missiles that flew over the country before landing in the Pacific Ocean earlier this year, diplomatic sources have said, despite the difficulties and potential ramifications of doing so.

The revelation came ahead of Trump’s arrival in Japan on Sunday at the start of his five-nation trip to Asia. Threats from North Korea’s nuclear weapons and missile development programs were set to be high on the agenda in his talks with Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Monday.

Trump questioned Japan’s decision not to shoot down the missiles when he met or spoke by phone with leaders from Southeast Asian countries over recent months to discuss how to respond to the threats from North Korea, the sources said.

The U.S. president said he could not understand why a country of samurai warriors did not shoot down the missiles, the sources said.

49. Will the Japanese coin a new verb for Trump

the way they did for H.W. Bush when he vomited in Prime Minister Miyazawa's lap in 1992?

"Bushu-suru" apparently means "to do the Bush thing."

If Dolt45 vomits verbiage all over the Japanese airwaves, would that be "Trumpu-suru?"
