Tokyo – Donald Trump will start his first trip to Asia as president next month in somewhat predictable fashion: with a round of golf.

Prime Minister Shinzo Abe told Trump in a phone call Monday that a joint outing with Japanese pro Hideki Matsuyama has been set up for Nov. 5, according to a Japanese Foreign Ministry summary of the call.
Japan is the first stop for Trump on a trip that will also take him to South Korea, China, Vietnam and the Philippines. He will visit Hawaii as well.
During the 30-minute phone call, Trump congratulated Abe on his party’s decisive victory in parliamentary elections Sunday. Trump told Abe that he is really looking forward to visiting Japan, the Japanese summary said.
Trump is an avid and competitive golfer, whose weekend outings have gotten attention in the U.S. media.
Abe also likes to golf. He presented Trump with a top-level driver by Japanese maker Honma soon after Trump won the presidency last November, and the two golfed together in Florida in February.
No doubt the Orange Yutz will order Chinese takeout while he’s there. He’s the laughingstock of the world, with ugly finger on the nuke button. What crises will he cause this week and then back pedal, then attack a GOPer or NFL player to cover his odoriferous tracks? Tweety bird brain.
Shinzo Abe is in much better physical condition than Trump; look at the pipick on Trump. He may not smoke or drink, but he can certainly pack his food away. Also, he doesn’t exercise. He doesn’t have very good common sense. He is 71 years old, at least 50 or more pounds overweight, eats junk food, and is in a very, very, stressful job. The White House has a gym, with exercise equipment, in addition to a swimming pool. Where is Millenia, or Ivanka, and why don’t they exercise better control over his most unhealthy habits? Also, what has the White House Physician done advise Trump to shed the excess blubber? Are they so intimidated of him, that they can’t say anything?
