Fox News ^ | November 17, 2016 | The Associated Press

NEW YORK – Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe became the first world leader to meet President-elect Donald Trump on Thursday, seeking reassurances over the future of U.S.-Japan security and trade relations.

Abe met with Trump in New York, where the incoming president is working on setting up an administration after his surprise election victory last week that has injected new uncertainty into old U.S. alliances.

"I do believe that without confidence between the two nations (the) alliance would never function in the future and (after) the outcome of today's discussion I am convinced Mr. Trump is a leader in whom I can have great confidence," Abe said following the meeting....

You can bet everyone is watching who Donald is granting an audience and in what order.

Apparently prophesied in 2011:

and even in 2007:

Trump has everyone saying “he’s great.”

Every day with Donald Trump is another day to rejoice and laugh!

The media, democrats and the NWO crowd are crapping themselves.

I’m enjoying this very much. Very impressed with Trump’s vetting/cabinet formulation work.

Oh gezzz, this is really going to anger these genuine “conservatives” who wanted yet another career professional politician at the helm. The irony, already Trump has done more to help this country than all of them, and he hasn’t even taken office.

It feels as a great weight has been lifted from the collective shoulders of America...they will fight him with all they have but they will fail, we have finally a strong leader with a big heart. I cannot express in words my admiration and respect for our new President. It is so good not to write pRESIDENT anymore. God bless you, President Trump and keep you safe always!

So much for Ambassador Caroline Bouvier Kennedy’s great leadership. This nightmare is finally coming to an end and it’s been a long time in the making.

Notice that these leaders are going TO Donald, not the other way around. These countries want a strong America because they admire our heritage. No wonder Obama gets treated like a POS everywhere he goes.

Hope you’re ready to start importing Fords and Chevies, Abe.

Not even sworn in, and already I feel as though a great weight has been lifted. No longer will we have to settle for a "new norm" in the United States. We won't have to feel guilty, wring our hands, or blame our Founders for some perceived ill.

Within 6 months, perhaps much less, I suspect that people will have no choice but to feel a difference. A "winning" culture. A feeling that we CAN accomplish great things.

Of course, there will be some kicking and dragging their heels, lamenting that Trump "isn't THEIR President."

I envision a speech in which those losers are told, "the country is winning again, but we're NOT going back to policies and psychology that brought us here. And those that insist that America isn't great can come along for the ride, but they've got to ride in back..."

I had already been in the Army for several years when President Reagan took over from President Carter. The difference was palpable.
