meal was provided for his daughter and adviser Ivanka and her husband Jared Kushner

I question which formal capacities Ivanka and Jared might be serving, especially if their expenses (no doubt the most luxurious for the pampered rich) are being picked up by US taxpayers.

Given Ivanka and Jared are using their positions in the White House to fatten the Trump family's bank accounts, it's hard not to think they're using this trip to further fatten.

Nepotism and insider trading: hallmarks of the Trump White House.

It's a sad day when the president can be so easily manipulated through his ego.

Nepotism and insider trading: hallmarks of the Trump White House.

Yeah, like JFK and his appointing his brother Robert as Attorney General. Nevertheless, many Presidents had their family members or relatives serve in some political capacity in their administration.

In Latin America and many Asian countries, nepotism in politics is not uncommon either.

Trump is pathetically simple and simply pathetic.

If this is in reference to his culinary tastes, so what? How does Kim Jong-Un eat?

I think while Kim dines on extravagant and luxurious food while his people eat in poverty is simply pathetic.

Korea makes some of the best fried chicken, so if he likes and wants to snag on some tasty junk food Korean make some of the best.

In another diplomatic jab, Moon's office invited a former wartime sex slave for Japanese soldiers to that state dinner, leading Tokyo to call the move "inappropriate".

No doubt.

The main dish was a sirloin steak made of U.S. beef, accompanied by bulgogi sauce, pickled garlic leaves and other side dishes.

I'm pretty sure sure that was delicious.

And as well as the 12 cold Korean starters on the official menu -- among them steamed sea urchin with tofu

Not so sure about that one, haha

It's sad to see pathetic, petty comments like this.

What President Trump favors to eat or not is hardly news.
