Veeery careful..

Soft spoken, logical and intellectual Ishiba-san, going to see the Mad Hatter! Hope he fully understands that anything Trump says cannot be taken at face value.

smells a little too much like desperation. how about being more stoic.

Ishiba has to raise his butt-kissing game, if wants to get on Trump's good side.

Abe was the first to call Trump after he won in 2016, and met him in person only days after the election. Abe really knew how to kiss butt.

Trump makes deals. He does negotiate, but obviously from a position of strength. Ishiba has his work cut out for him. Bring something worthwhile to the table.

Trump decision making as merit but his narcissist persona does not interfere in good decision making. He a successful businessperson who got where he is through good dicsion making. I can stand him, I can not listen to him. I never want anything to do with him not even business because it not my game. I assume Trump and Ishiba will work out a good deal for both parties. I don,t know what would be a worst job to dealing with a narcissist or to deal with a demented old lier or worst Harris.

Garrypen: You forgotten butt kissing is part and parcel and encourage in USA culture. From the lowest pay worker to the high office of Presidents. Where wait service workers have to kiss butt for tips and legacy media kiss butt for interviews. Other culture find this butt kiss nature offensive but not the USA. You see the world as work out the USA that butt kiss is necessary tool to have when visiting the USA if you need to achieve.
