George HW Bush, YOU'RE OFF THE HOOK! Most Embarrassing Speech By US President In Japan

It may have taken 25 years, but George H.W. Bush is finally off the hook for being the President who embarrassed the United States the most while in Japan.

In 1992, President Bush BARFED on Japanese Prime Minister Miyazawa

In 2017, President Tump DRY HEAVED a stomach full of STUPIDITY on Japanese Prime Minister Abe when he said "I never knew there were so many countries!"

Note Trump's projectile vomit of ignorance, starting at 14:10
Note U.S. Ambassador to Japan, William Hagerty's (bottom left) look of "I want to vomit, too" at the 14:40 mark onwards.




For comparison, here's GHW Bush puking on the Japanese Prime Minister. Japanese Prime Ministers can now look back on that moment as 'the good old days.'

Trump does seem to be even more of a disaster.

He is not only saying utterly stupid things, but he dumped an entire box of fish food into the koi pond.

Stupid speeches, however... much worse than

I'm stupid. I don't know what I'm doing and I don't want to know. So sue me!



I have never seen a President so dismissively signal an interpreter. He is a walking disaster.

Kelly, sitting there like he knows what the hell is going on. He's just salivating at his chance to get Trump alone for a little while to properly 'thank' his big, strong, commander in treason.

I wonder if Trump demanded an (ugh ) "well done Kobe Beef Steak" for his dinner. He sure isn't going to eat any traditional Japanese food. Maybe they got him a Big Mac from Smegdonald's. Quite the Epicure, old Donnie.
