>> I see no reason to shame and antagonize them.

And I see no reason for that snot-nosed wanker of a Japanese reporter to attempt to shame and antagonize the Leader of the Free World! If Mrs. President Of Japan didn’t like it, she shouldn’t have brought him.

You have the right attitude of disgust about that Japanese reporter, yet I'm actually glad they put the guy on the plane.

Here's why: Trump is playing some 3D chess.

I asked Google AI: How influential are major American news organizations to the Japanese news organizations?

And Google says the Japanese press is highly influenced by American media... mentioning the New York Times, Reuters, and API.

So it was easy to predict a Japanese reporter would try to trip up our President: they can't help themselves.  But, as usual, Trump was prepared and gave a perfect answer! 

Here a diagram of Trump's checkmate.
