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. 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...
