So Trump went to Japan for trade talks that he knew were never going to happen?

I saw a news note on the bottom of the screen saying that no trade talks w/Japan
would happen before July as a clip of the "Marine 1" helicopter was taking his fat ass
out for a round of golf.

Good God in butter when does this thing end?

3. Don't forget he talked to numerous Japan officials too

Link to tweet

And by numerous he meant none. Is there anything he will not lie about?

2. Japan has recently expressed an interest in continuing the nations good relationship

with Iran, so I'm going to guess that The Donald went to Japan to privately, and as quietly as possible, put the squeeze on Japan to cut Iranian ties in preparation for his upcoming Wag the Dog war.

5. How embarrassing.........

to have him go out into the world and show them all what an idiot he is.

6. I can't tell how far his ball was from the hole but Japan TV showed him just ....

.... pushing the ball in with his putter. The man cheats and lies about everything.

7. He considers it a gimme when it's that close to the hole

Technically it's not cheating, but the golf etiquette is such that your opponent needs to tell you it's a gimme. You don't just take the free gimme. Everyone who plays golf understands this etiquette rule, except for Chump.

8. Golf is very popular in Japan and I understand they have some great courses!
