President Donald Trump tried to cut off his joint press conference on Friday with Shinzo Abe, Prime Minister of Japan after just three questions two from American journalists (one from the New York Post, and one from Fox Business), and one from a Japan-based outlet.
I want to thank everybody in the room, Trump said. Were gonna have a tremendous relationship, long-term relationship of mutual benefit with Japan. Thank you all very much. But Abe was having none of it. He wanted more.
One more, one more. He told the President.
Yes, sure. Trump said, as Abe called on a second Japan-based journalist.
After Trump addressed the reporters query, the President was less subtle in his desire to leave the stage. After all, a weekend at Mar-A-Lago awaits. Mr. Prime Minister, what an honor, Trump said. What a great honor. And lets go to Florida!

(15,411 posts)He sounds like a dictator. America will do great things when I fix everything. The question was about Asia and China's influence, he talked about what a great phone conversation he had the night before with Xi (whose name he didn't say because he probably doesn't remember or can't pronounce) and how that one conversation is going to fix everything in Asia.
Arrogant bastard.
