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.
