plus two scoops of ice cream and some beautiful chocolate cake for dessert. If he does try any Chinese food he'll wonder why he isn't being served chow mein, chop suey and fortune cookies, and he'll want to eat it with a fork.

that seems right up his alley. plausible.

also maybe some complaints about the local golf courses, not recognizing foreign leaders, and coming up with mildly insulting mispronunciations of names.

We just know it will be a disaster. He's such an embarrassment and other countries laugh at us.

That will piss off some foreign leader/ally/country, but I'm not sure why it would. Lucky break for them.

Trump's aides and former business colleagues have described the President as largely averse to extensive foreign travel, preferring instead to sleep in his own bed and negotiate with leaders on his on turf.
The person involved in the trip's planning said officials in each country on the trip have been warned that Trump is not comfortable with new cuisines and prefers familiar foods, like well-done steak and ice cream.
