President Trump’s trip to Japan started with a bang – a magnitude-5.1 earthquake centered near the golf course where he and Prime Minister Shinzo Abe are set to play golf Sunday. The temblor, which rattled Tokyo just hours before Trump’s arrival, briefly halted nearby bullet trains, but did not derail the leaders’ plans for their first meeting of the four-day visit, which will take place at the Mobara Country Club in Chiba. Later, the leaders will attend a championship sumo wrestling match, where Trump will award the “President’s Cup” to the winner. The trophy is 5 feet tall and weighs between 60 and 70 pounds, the White House said.

The news is the earthquake.
Those things happen.
What, exactly, does “ahead of Trump’s visit” have to do with it?
Tokyo is earthquake central. Call it Global Shaking.
Orange Man Bad
I feel the earth move under my feet.
What the hell is with the correlation of earthquake and Trumps visit?
We lived in So California 5 times and experienced many quakes. A 5.1 is nothing. We felt one that was 5.3, but it damaged nothing.
Are they sure it wasn’t Godzilla ( their national hero ) wanting to meet President Trump?
Was “the sky tumbling down”?
Good song - GREAT songwriter!
Obviously GAIA is angered by Trump’s impending visit, sheesh, it’s so obvious to her worshipers and of course this lame stream reporter.
Sorry all. I just remembered that Godzilla isn’t in Tokyo as he’s too busy with the new movie coming out next week. Has all of those promotion tour events and marketing stuff to do.
Eathquakes are common in Japan.
It's an omen, a portent of something significant.
5.1? In tokyo, that’s a quiet day at the sumo pit.
He whispered into Presidents Trumps ear “you cannot survive the coming earthquake”
President trump whispered back “I AM the earthquake!”
BRAVO! One of the best comment I’ve read here in ages LOL
‘89 Earthquake in SF.
God doesn’t like Baseball?
Anything to bash Trump
It would be new if there wasn’t an earthquake in Japan.
Candidate Trump WAS prayed over by fundamenttalist pastors and Christians all OVER America pray daily for him and there is a pretty good chance some evil SOB had a building topple down on him.
There is.
Japan is like a giant SoCal if an earthquake isn’t 6.5 or bigger it didn’t happen.
