Private Lunch Turns Tense As Abe And Trump Stuck At Impasse Over Tariffs

Source: Talking Points Memo

PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe courted the new American president with a golden driver not long after Donald Trump won the White House. He’s met with the billionaire businessman more than any other world leader, and he’s Trump’s second-most frequent caller.

Yet the “bromance” between Trump and Abe has its limits.

Trump appeared to be successful Tuesday in reassuring Abe that he would take Japan’s concerns to heart during his upcoming meeting with North Korea’s Kim Jong Un. But Wednesday brought public disagreements, as Trump spurned his guest’s top economic and trade priorities. Principal among them: allowing Japan an exemption from new U.S. steel and aluminum tariffs and persuading Trump to re-join the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal.

During a roughly 40-minute joint press conference Wednesday evening, Abe tried to put on a good face, emphasizing their close relationship and their areas of accord on North Korea policy. He effusively thanked Trump for pledging to raise the issue of Japanese abductees held by North Korea in his meeting with Kim.

While dancing in his narcissistic malignant psychopathic sexual predator head, he said this on just how fucking corrupt he really is and thinks only of his ego.....................


Trump said the invitation to his private club was a sign of how much he liked Abe.

“Many of the world’s great leaders request to come to Mar-a-Lago and Palm Beach. They like it; I like it. We’re comfortable. We have great relationships,'” the president said, boosting the private club, which collects dues that enrich Trump."

He struggles in vain to try and dominate. Watching Dirty Donny's republican face in this clip makes is glaringly obvious that he is a low-esteem, low-life, con-man wanker who ceasely tries to feed his own ego.

Sad.
