Trump went to Japan over the entire Memorial Day weekend, skipping out on what some in the GOP call “America’s most sacred holiday.”
While in 🇯🇵Japan 🇯🇵, not one thing helpful to America or for the American people happened - no US-Japan trade deals were signed, no alliances or new initiatives were set in motion, no great symbolic acts were carried out to heal old wounds. (Even the Fox News website has no reports about any accomplishments.)
All we are left with is a president who fled somber, likely boring military ceremonies here so he could be lavishly entertained and personally praised everywhere he went in Japan. He golfed. He was given the “honor” of presenting the huge silver winner’s trophy at Japan’s version of the Super Bowl. And he dined with the new Emperor on $110 a pound Waygu beef (the cows are massaged daily to add marbling to the meat.)
A president who shirks important duties on the homefront to instead be lauded & wined & dined in a foreign country, on the US taxpayer’s dime, for no legitimate US purpose, does not deserve much of anything, especially re-election.
He needs to stand in Arlington Cemetery on Memorial Day with all the other dignitaries and pay his respects, or quit jackin’ with America and go the hell home.
