Subject: Travel pool report 1: And now, a short flight to the golf course
Tokyo, Japan
Good morning from Tokyo where it’s currently beautiful out: 75 degrees
and sunny. There are throngs of local press lining up outside of the
president’s hotel, plus a large number of uniformed Japanese police
officers.
It should be about 90 degrees later today when POTUS and Prime
Minister Shinzo Abe go for a round of golf in Chiba, Japan. To get to
his golf game, POTUS will take a roughly 30-minute Marine One ride.
It seems that POTUS has been awake for quite awhile after yesterday’s
long trip. Hours ago, he tweeted about the Jussie Smollett case in
Chicago, calling it a “hate crime.”
In another tweet, POTUS also seemed to undercut John Bolton, his
national security advisor, who yesterday told reporters that North
Korea had violated U.N. resolutions by conducting missile tests:
“North Korea fired off some small weapons, which disturbed some of my
people, and others, but not me,” the president tweeted.
He also spelled Joe Biden’s name wrong.
POTUS & pool rolling from RON for the Hardy Barracks landing zone at
8:07 am local time // 7:07 p.m. EST
