Perhaps after golf they can exchange scandal stories and proof read each other's resignations

(27,045 posts)6. It's customary for Japanese
to praise others while appearing to reject praise for oneself. For instance, one man may say to another, "Your son is a very good student," and the response would be, "Oh, no, YOUR son is a much better student." All this is just a formality. Trump wouldn't understand this and would likely revel in all the praise. It would feed right into his ego.
My boyfriend lived and taught in Japan for quite a few years and I've learned a lot from him.

that he even spelled "U S A" correctly on his hat. Abe should have worn a "J A P A N" hat of his own.

Taht tweet is an ad for Trump's golf Courses. So he is using his role as Pres. for personal gain.
