10. Double deflection. The lie about Abe and the fact that Juliana Awada speaks fluent English.

He tried to throw the focus to Abe and away from Awada, who was to his other side and with whom he could also have had a conversation in English had he chosen.

Instead it looks like he was in deal making mode with the Saudi leader and Putin. And that should be a focus of reports, but somehow isn't.

But the spouses were split up for at least part of the dinner, President Donald Trump seated next to Argentinian first lady Juliana Awada, and Melania Trump on the other end of the table with Putin. The Slovenian-born American first lady and the Russian president were photographed smiling and leaning toward each other with an interpreter between them.

During her childhood and adolescence, she repeatedly traveled with her mother to Europe and the United States, mainly to Paris, London and New York, looking for fashion collections. After completing her secondary education at a bilingual English school in Belgrano, the now defunct Chester College, she honed her knowledge of that language in the city of Oxford, England.[8]
