"He's Completely Lost": People Can't Stop Laughing At Trump After He Seemingly Looked Confused During His Visit To Japan "Bro has no idea what is going on. This is crazy." Hot Topic 🔥 Full coverage and conversation on Politics If you don't know, President Trump flew to Japan on Tuesday during the government shutdown for his Asia diplomatic tour. While he was in Japan, he met the new conservative and first female-elected prime minister, Sanae Takaichi. He addressed US troops aboard an aircraft carrier that's stationed near Tokyo. And he signed a trade and rare earth agreement with Japan. BuzzFeed TrendingHot Topic Let's chat about all things Politics See our Politics Discussions However, before all that, Trump received a ceremonial welcome from Sanae Takaichi at the Akasaka State Guesthouse. And people noticed a few very interesting things while he reviewed the guards during the ceremonial inspection of the guards. It starts with Sanae motioning Trump to keep moving after he stands in front of the band: Then there's another angle where Trump salutes when he didn't need to: Next, he walks past the Japanese and American flags, where he's supposed to bow. Rightfully so, this shocks the prime minister. Here's a clearer look: Moments later, the prime minister waits to see if he will return, but when she realizes he doesn't, she bows in front of the two flags. Then he finishes the loop by continuing to walk in front of her until she catches up with him and guides him the rest of the way. Jeffrey J. Hall, a PhD. University Lecturer in Japan, posted on Twitter (X) that "When Japan is greeting a foreign leader, it is customary for the Japanese Prime Minister and foreign leader to stop and bow to the two flags. Trump didn't do that. (this is a video of a proper example from last month)" Here's the video he is referencing. Of course, people had a lot to say about this: Left-wing political influencer, Harry Sission, said, "YIKES: Watch Donald Trump get guided through a ballroom by the Japanese prime minister. He’s completely lost. Maybe this explains why Trump got an MRI scan recently…" Another person said, "Bro has no idea what is going on. This is crazy." "Trump violated protocol during his meeting with Japan’s Prime Minister Takaiichi. He didn’t stop by the flags, saluted the Japanese soldiers, and walked ahead without waiting for her," someone else said. You can view the full video here. So what do you think?
