A “journalist” is lying? Wish we could say that is new...

I read that they adored her.

My understanding is that in Japan it’s pretty much impossible for a smoking hot blonde to give offense no matter what she does.

If the Japanese were offended, they would never tell you, and they certainly would never tell an opposition journalist. Nemawashi (round-about consensus building) and haragei (vaguely hinting at but never saying what you really feel) together would require much much more subtle, passive-aggressive means of transmitting the offended feelings.

If the Japanese were offended they would never tell you, that would be incredibly bad manners

Well, my oh my. He's a Senior Writer at Weaknews magazine.

They just jumped the gun and delivered 125,000 issues with the cover showing Hillary as "Madam President". Major oops!

This is all I need to know about the credibility of this guy and his failing magazine.

The meeting was not an “official visit” and thus protocol of official visits were not in function. This visit was mostly a hello and get to know you visit. The presence of Donald Trump’s wife and family were 100% acceptable. He will not be the President until January. Once he is president official protocol then comes into effect. If this were official business it would not have been appropriate. This was not official business, he is not president yet.

ps
If I were the Japanese Prime Minister I sure as hell would want Trump’s lovely and erudite wife there on an unofficial visit. She is elegant and refined. I look forward to a new White House defined by beauty and grace and style. Trump is not this, but his wife sure as hell is.
