very relatable, when you think about it. he s got trump s number. now, i don t know how much he s gotten out of the relationship so far, because they still have some differences, especially on how to deal with north korea. but trump s never attacked him, certainly. and there are a lot of trade issues that trump important trade imbalances in the japanese/american relationship. trump has always been gentle in dealing with that issue. so abe was the first one to sort of, you know, write this sort of roadmap open hon how a foreign leader can co-opt trump. he s got a trip that s mostly about golf, having a good time, and showing off the president, putting him in a good light, all things that trump wants to do. not a trip where there s a lot that either said has said there s going to be big substantive policy breakthroughs. it seems like a vacation.
