You won’t be seeing this on the mainstream media TV channels. As President Trump’s motorcade traveled through central Tokyo – it looks to me as though he was on his way to the Imperial Palace for the state dinner with the Emperor and Empress, chants of “We love Trump! We love Trump!” can be heard from bystanders.
Twitter video screen grab
This does not appear to be a parade-style motorcade, for the sidewalks are not jammed with people, but rather people who, perhaps aware of the likely motorcade route – or perhaps noting the extensive police presence – paused to express their feelings toward the American leaders who had earlier delighted then nation with his attendance at the grand sumo tournament and presentation of the “President’s cup” to winner Asanoyama.
Prime Minister Abe and a sizable segment of the public understand how much Japan needs American support and protection in the face of North Korean nukes and China’s military and economic expansion, and its desire to dominate a Chinese version of a twentieth century version of the Greater East Asian Co-prosperity Sphere. President Trump is very public with his expectation that Japan will offer in return trade, investment, regional security, and military support. He is doing this with a smile, mostly, and managed a visit that improved America’s standing with the Japanese public.

Never mind. It was a bunch of people, lots of women, chanting in English.They're kinda strange with that. They have a very strong cultural identity, but they mix in some western influences. They may have been doing it for the fun of it.

It is a toss up if the Japanese or Han Chinese are more racist.
And they are racists in the true sense of the word in that they hold their race to be the only civilized people.
The rest of the world is a bunch of uncultured barbarians.
On the other hand you would have a tough time painting them as white supremacists.

You know... they had a bad case of the psycho red-ass not so long ago. Two nukes made them into a very nice little country.
Bitter medicine, but I still maintain that a couple of 1950s style citybuster H-bombs on Mecca and Riyadh back after 9/11 would have changed the world for the better.

Really, I can’t imagine that such a response by the US would have made things worse.
It seems like an effective way to tell foreign powers: “Change your ways”.

Gee, I didn’t see this on GMA this morning...............…The reporter on BS "This Morning" said the meeting was style over substance, nothing accomplished. The "reports" these corrupt fake news readers deliver literally could be written prior to the event by some hate filled left wing activist - then the msm reports the DNC talking points as news. Shameful and dull.
