[Skittles]

1. poor guy looks like he is coming up for air

[yuiyoshida]

36. He probably did hold his breath a bit

I would have having that Ham hock holding mine, trying to yank it out of the shoulder socket.

[boston bean]

2. I will give the 5th rec!!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. Love the eye roll.

I wonder if PM Abe had a good time golfing with Pol Potbelly this afternoon - and if PP cheated, like he is said to do. http://gawker.com/a-brief-history-of-the-golf-cheating-accusations-agains-1774776293

[Tanuki]

7. Did the press ever get released from the trash-bag-shuttered Dungeon-a-Lago,

where they were sequestered earlier today?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

11. Don't know. I was wondering whether they could have

peeled the bags off the windows? That was so bizarre.

They did get a few pics, though: http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2017/02/11/trump_golfs_with_japan_s_abe_press_in_basement_with_blacked_out_windows.html

[mopinko]

12. at least give it a go. what could they charge them w? criminal damage to temporary

bullshit?

[BlancheSplanchnik]

15. Pol potbelly!!!! OMG, that's hilarious!!!

Hope you don't mind if I air-quote borrow air-quote that!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

17. Borrow away. It isn't mine but I don't remember where I read it.

[Demonaut]

31. a game of competition..trump is good, he was establishing alpha male with the Japanese

in his own mind

[DK504]

72. The look own his face is screaming

to be released form this insane asylum. Please I;m blinking in morse code - save me!

[sfwriter]

4. なんてこと！あの人はクレイジーです.

[yuiyoshida]

27. This works...

I would have added...Kono Beikoku daitōryō wa totemo bakadesu この米国大統領はとてもばかです! This US president is very stupid.

[Leith]

40. I Would Have Just Said

Waaaaa! Kichigai ne?

[yuiyoshida]

41. Generally more offensive than the English usage of the word.

Normally a Japanese would never call another Crazy in public, its too harsh. He might have thought it, but he would express that he was relieved to have been separated from the room.

[dixiegrrrrl]

70. This is good a time as any to tell you how much I have learned from you

I respect Japan culture very much, and you have been so helpful, with your links and etc.

[yuiyoshida]

71. I hope you visit the Asian Group ...I don't think many people know its there.

And, Doumo Arigatou gozaimashita! どうもありがとうございました!

74. or bakadaiyo

[yuiyoshida]

75. Mochiron! もちろん!

XD Honto sou! 本当にそう

[orangecrush]

5. Understatement - Trump

Is not going to outdo the Japanese when it comes to business strategy.

[pbmus]

6. In Japanese.

神聖なくそhesクレイジー
Shinseina kuso hes kureijī

[pangaia]

8. Anogther Google version, :)) 聖なる たわごと 彼は狂っている。

You can take your pick...

Or ask Yui Yoshida...

[yuiyoshida]

25. :* post #4 was correct.

[Hekate]

37. Now come on, Yui. Be fair and translate for the rest of us.

I only know one slur in Japanese, from the mother of one of my University Of Hawai'i roommates. My roomie was in love with a local haole boy (i.e. ethnically white raised in Hawai'i) and her Nisei mom was really pissed off about that. Mom kept referring to him as "that hoitoboro haole" which my friend said meant more or less "white trash white." (He was actually nice, but not what mom wanted.)

[yuiyoshida]

39. Post Four?

なんてこと！あの人はクレイジーです. = Nante koto! Ano hito wa kureijīdesu. "What! That person is crazy." Though you know, A Japanese person would never say crazy, in public, its far too harsh.

Though honestly, I think his expression is 救済 = Kyūsai (Relief)

[pangaia]

45. I just can not imagine any Japanese making the face Abe made..

Maybe after living in the us for 20 years or so but...
My jaw actually dropped open when he did that.

Oh... I was in so for a day and a half.. had lunch at a sushi place around the corner from the symphony hall after a kids concert.

[yuiyoshida]

47. He probably did make that face for his Japanese audience at home...

Yes the Japanese are very strict and disciplined but there are times all they have is their expression. He can not publicly say Trump is Crazy, or that he was uncomfortable with the situation there, but he can express it if need be, if he was very distressed. Japanese people like most are very passionate, they are not "Vulcans" who need to hide their expressions. They must be very polite, and follow the protocols set long ago by leaders of the past. But they are human and will show the expressions on their face, which will be read by every Japanese at home, and they will feel for him, most Assuredly.

[pangaia]

50. Thanks Yui. Most of my Japanese friends are musicians....none of themil are vulcans...

THAT'S FOR SURE.


🌋

[yuiyoshida]

51. Please spot the "VULCAN" ...in the bideo!

These are my lovely sisters! (not by blood but by the fact we are great friends)

[pangaia]

53. I sure see only cool human beings .

[yuiyoshida]

55. They are just awesome

[Lucinda]

9. He and Melania should get along well then.

[dchill]

28. Indeed!

Melania will probably require some kind of emolument, though. To get along, you know.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

34. Ha!! So true!

He really is one of those people who brighten a room... we he leaves.

[mwooldri]

10. I think given the audience...

English would have been fine for getting the point across.

But yes, PM Abe certainly has that expression.

[backscatter712]

13. From my anime days - the Japanese word for "fool" or "stupid" or "idiot" is BAKA.

If I were Abe, I'd be saying "BAKA BAKA BAKA BAKA BAKA!!!"

[yuiyoshida]

33. baka baka baka

[mainstreetonce]

14. I can't look at Trump's hands

Sickening

[KT2000]

16. this is probably playing in Japan

on their new stations. Loved his expression.
So what is the deal with Dump's inability to shake someone's hand. It is overly-aggressive which he likely believes is impressive. Makes him look like a perv.

[MrPurple]

21. He is a perv, but I think it's some kind of dominance thing

He stands in place without stepping toward the other person and when he grabs their hand, he pulls them toward him. He even did this with Gorsuch when he announced the nomination.

[Hekate]

38. Manly display of manly machismo, baby!

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

58. Just another example of how inappropriate and generally

creepy the pResident is. Disgusting.

[paleotn]

18. I know that look!

...that's the quintessential "get me the fuck outta here" look. I've used it myself a few times.

[WinkyDink]

19. Pretty sure it's "Sushi-Brains."

[C Moon]

20. OMG! That's insane!!!

[hibbing]

22. And here I thought George W. was an embarrassment n/t

[MrPurple]

23. Compared to Trump, Dubya is like...

a combination of the best qualities of Einstein, Gandhi and Jesus Christ.

[LiberalLovinLug]

46. Dubya got the biggest present ever with Trump

He was set to go down as the worst President in modern history.

After Dubya's term the GOP did everything they could to ignore him and pretend he never existed. Unbelievable to me at the time that he was never even allowed to attend the next couple of RNC conventions. What party does that?

But I don't think the RNC will ever be able to give the Don the same treatment. He will be forever a shit stain on their feet.

[Alice11111]

66. Yeah , GWB may be the only person who improves his reputation with DT.

[3catwoman3]

30. And you were...

...right. He was.

[yuiyoshida]

35. WELL George had his moments....

[Catherine Vincent]

52. Yes, Bush had his moments

Hadn't seen that one in a while...always cracks me up but I was impressed how fast he ducked. Good job, Bush!

[simguy225]

60. He had a lifetime

of dodging experience to fall back on

[MrPurple]

65. Before Trump, I used to say that that shoe thrower was the only person that ever missed Dubya

What's impressive about that episode to me isn't that Bush dodged the shoe, he didn't need to be Sugar Ray Leonard to do that, but how he was still grinning afterward. If that happened to Trump, he'd do some enraged babbling and would be talking and tweeting about it for weeks.

[yuiyoshida]

67. I think Trump would be enraged, but he seems like the kind who is too chicken

to get into a fight himself, he would send the Secret Service to deal with any shoe thrower, and if the guy was an American, he would probably make sure, he went to some federal Prison for a long long time, or maybe to Guantanamo and be tortured, not for information, but tortured for spite. I really could see him having some special goons, torturing some guy and having them video tape it for his pleasure later.

[kentuck]

24. That cracks me up!

So friggin' funny!

[elmac]

26. Sniffles didn't even have the translation earpiece

when he was listening to Abe, he just smiled, nodded like a dumb ass.

Smile and nod: Trump was not wearing translation device in Japan PM's speech

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/feb/10/shinzo-abe-donald-trump-earpiece-translation

[demtenjeep]

29. and that damn thumbs up childish fonz thing

jesus the guy is stunted

[flygal]

61. He's from the 1970's casting roll for cheesy salesman type

only more evil.

[MrPurple]

73. Yeah, in a more just world he'd be lying to people while selling used cars

[Fritz Walter]

32. Not enough hand sanitizer on this planet...

...to neutralize the Shit-Gibbon cooties from that 18-second handshake!

[yuiyoshida]

42. Abe san would have never called anyone Crazy in Public (perhaps to his wife in private)

but never in public. Its too harsh, though he might say, he was relieved to have left the room, and let it stand at that. Most Japanese would accept it and fill in their own blanks.

[LeftInTX]

57. I used to live in Japan

Your posting of "san" brought memories from over 55 years ago. We were military. We had a nanny, we called her Terri-san. She taught us dancing. And my favorite song was "Chichipapa". My last remaining parent died a few months ago, I got emotional when we rummaged through our family belongings, many of them were from those enchanting years in Japan.

[betsuni]

43. So far I haven't seen any attention paid to this in Japan.

I watched a few news programs last night when they discussed the meeting and no one brought up The Handshake or The Abe Eyeroll. I had to demonstrate what the Trump handshake was to my husband and only then did he see it -- he was really upset by The Hand-patting so didn't notice anything else.

The way Trump hugged, grabbed and fondled Abe after he exited the car, then whispered sweet nothings into his ear, Trump really wants Abe to be his Valentine.

[DesertRat]

44. Wow!

[Catherine Vincent]

48. Poor guy

Why would tRump make this guy uncomfortable like that?

[Beartracks]

49. Wooow,that says it all! OMG, look...

.... Trump does his thumbs-up thing just before the clip ends.



================

[Kimchijeon]

54. Hahaaa Love that eye roll there

"This guy is such a dumbass"

[czarjak]

56. Dat's yo *President...

Trump Takers.

[Rincewind]

59. "Trump" nt

[mahina]

62. Bakatare

But that's more closely idiot or moron.

[tblue37]

63. K&R. nt

[Alice11111]

64. Priceless

[panfluteman]

68. Here's How You Say It in Japanese:

Sugoi desune! Kare wa honto ni kichigai desu!

I was born in Japan, started life bilingual (English - Japanese) when I learned how to speak. I also worked as a Japanese - English translator for many years. Or, an alternative way of saying it would be:

Bikkuri shitana! Kare wa mattaku kichigai desu!

The Japanese word for crazy - Ki-chigai, literally means someone whose Qi or energy is not right.

[Quayblue]

69. This is my new eyeroll.

I'm gonna use it on every one of his supporters anytime they defend their vote or start apologizing for it.

[MrPurple]

76. K&R (too funny of an image for people to miss)

[MrPurple]

77. K&R - one last time
