President Trump and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe bonded over a sunny round of golf, double hamburgers for lunch, ringside seats at a sumo wrestling 'basho' and a barbeque dinner

Tokyo A sunny round of golf, double hamburgers for lunch, ringside seats at a sumo wrestling"basho" and a barbeque dinner. Those were the components Sunday of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's latest bid to become President Donald Trump's best global friend.

Whether the hours of male bonding result in wins on trade and security remains to be seen. Before the day even began, there were signs the ardent effort at cultivating the US leader -- started even before he assumed office -- had not paid off in new agreement on North Korea.

So, while we celebrate the fallen, Prez Bone-Spurs goes to a country that once attacked us, hands out trophies & praises the dictator of a renegade regime. Even his base should be mortified and incensed. ImpeachTrump ImpeachTheMF

Abe probably already knows what a moron T-rump is. Cheats on his golf score, lies every time his spewing hole is open, self centered and uneducated. What an impression for a so called leader of our country.

Working SO hard isn’t he

So it was a day like any other day for Trump, except for the sumo.

Some natural masculinity that leftists won’t understand.

🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍

Trump is easy.

🚨🚨 REAL NEWS ALERT 🚨🚨 CNN Propaganda expresses outrage at a fabricated quote attributed to Trump. Not really - CNN is anti Trump propaganda and unlike the edited Pelosi video uproar doesn’t give a shit!

So then he is just on another tax payer funded vacation.

I wonder what these I international leaders who r cozying up to realDonaldTrump wud feel abt their behavior when he is not the president of USA

All followed by the Hershey Squirts later!

I’m glad to see he’s getting a little relaxation. He deserves it, as the Democratic networks r so bias n report nothing but fake news , he deserves a 4 day rest. Did u notice he’s not on a holiday break ? Like the rest of the impotent government ? 😡

He had better be selling him some soy beans & wheat so our farmers can get off the Trump welfare plan!!

Well that’s odd since they are filmed in a sushi place

The Japanese know how to butter him up.

Trump is a sucker!

So they gave him everything he likes to suck up to him. Based on past history that's a good strategy

Amazing how Trump’s narcissistic personality makes him so easy to read. Welcome him with a round of golf, some of the shitty food he eats, make him feel important and he’s like putty in your hands. Sad!

Donald Trump is the best!

Please detain him for as long as possible. Wear him out, so it takes a long time to recover. Less opportunity for Trump-created mischief.

The sumo match was probably arranged to make Trump feel better about his body.

If he keep eating like that, we won't have to worry about impeachment...

😑x♾

I thought for sure it would be a whale burger.

I can just see his big loafy ass stepping all over their customs.

Japanese loath and deride Trump behind his back but must suck up big time as their morbid fear is that China will swallow them one day and they will need the great and powerful to come to the rescue😱

SWEET TIMES.

He's normalizing dictators. Stop normalizing him.

I will assume then that Abe let him win.

So... the same way you would bond with a toddler. You do all their favorite games and eat all their favorite foods and pretend like they are being all grown up.

Lucky Trump. Burgers in Japan are awesome.

I suppose they are best friends. He is a moron

And when he gets a new trade deal with Japan cnn and it’s very few followers will of course be disappointed and mad. Lol

Ha Ha .. they will only bond if AbeShinzo does what realDonaldTrump wants - sucking up to Trump is only the start ...

Friendship my ass, Abe is without a doubt snow jobbing this weak minded prez, Abe knows that this narcissistic, ego maniac is easily manipulated by stroking said ego to get what he wants.. funny that this flimsy leader of the free world can be so easily worked by world leaders

Clearly Putin is controlling Japan as well.

Ypo see ? Trump is a very uncomplicated and simple guy. He dares to fit any athmosphere. That's why he's admired everywhere he goes. He does not need gala diners or parties to show off.

Did ShinzoAbe play the Stormy Daniels, too ?

Falling in love is his greatest joy. Over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over.

We Japanese are hoping that all people who have been abducted by north korea for over 40 years will back. expecting cooperation on this issue. A meeting between the parents and President is scheduled today. No time left.

Abe like other international leaders recognize what a walk over and fool Trump is! He's such an incredible embarrassment? BOYCOTT EVERYTHING Israeli

So TEMPER TANTRUM TRUMP ate a double Hamburder.

He should have bought Trump a variety of fast food burgers.

Now Trump is only 112 days away from spending an entire year of his Presidency playing golf. Its Memorial Day in Japan now & the only thing Trump has tweeted is something about Indy car racing.

The Japanese Prime Minister’s name is Abe Shinzo.

And this:

Living large at the taxpayers expense.

“Hey....Wait a minute...Why do you want me to pull your finger?”

That's how realDonaldTrump got LindseyGrahamSC.

🇵🇰❤🇨🇳

...now the Japanese have the problem!!!...

CNN has the lowest rating of any news network

They're trying to gain weight for sumo or something?

I'm not a fan of Trump.

Did he get the noods?

Melania looked very bored!

Why don't you eat some whale blubber while you're there too.
