The president seems to be very religious about his food intake. Really.
Other than ramen and tempura, I don’t care for the food either. I would opt for the hamburger myself.
When you travel you do not want stomach issues.
Diet consistency is a wise thing. Especially as you get older.
“...instead relished in eating a hamburger sourced from American beef...”
Japanese food is generally very good and of high quality, so I think this was more of a political statement concerning trade and fair access to the Japanese market. The Japanese used all kinds of delaying tactics to stop imports of US beef.
Our press is cray-cray
This morning they hate him for feeding the fish
This afternoon they hate him for not eating fish
Forget raw fish, it’s great to hear that American beef is available in Japan; it was banned for many years with the mad cow media scare.
“Japan might be routinely hailed as one of the best places in the world for food...”
Are you kidding me!? We have the absolute best quality and variety of food of anywhere on the planet here in Japan. This reporter is just making stuff up because of ignorance and stupidity and unwillingness to do any research.
Actually I see this as him sending a message on the Beef Trade from the US to Japan. Japan has been notorious about limitations on US beef for years.
His selecting a US burger to eat is sending a quiet message to the PM on trade, as well as the general public in Japan that it’s ok to eat US beef.
MAGABurger!
Headline could be closer to reality being: ‘Trump eats a burger on a Japanese trip’.
A Kobe beef burger would sure hit the spot for me. I’m not a raw fish eater, meat&potaties for me.
Have done business there for 20+ years, I bet they ( the Japanese) ordered him the burger so as not to embarrass him nor make him uncomfortable on his first visit there
Big deal dealmaker, how about shunning signing anything else from Congress until ExtortionCare is repealed.
My theory is that all Japanese food is based on a dare. :-)
What isn’t being mentioned is that Abe was also having a burger and both had fries. Also not mentioned is the ketchup and mustard (Heinz) on the table. Also not mentioned is both were having a coke.
This is so stupid. The Secret Service doesn’t allow the president to eat the locally prepared food anyway. Even if Trump had eaten Japanese food, it would have been prepared by chefs brought with him from the US. These morons really have to try hard to find something to criticize.
Cheered him up BIGLY.
Atta Boy, Big Mac-Donald!
Go Trump ! #MAGA !
Hamburger, well done, YES!
Raw fish, NEVER!
President Trump has taste!
