On his trip to Asia, President Trump arrived in Japan, where he met with Sanae Takaichi, the newly elected prime minister of the country, and the first woman to hold that title.
During the visit, per CNN, the new prime minister presented Trump with both a golf bag signed by Japanese golfer Hideki Matsuyama and a putter that had been owned by the late Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, with whom Trump was close during his first term.
With Trump in the country, the trial of Abe’s assassin also began this week.
Meanwhile, in a video that emerged of their time together, the prime minister appeared to be guiding Trump around the room:

In quoting that video, Meidas Touch joked that “She must have heard about the MRI.”

That was a reference to Trump admitting, in a gaggle with reporters over the weekend, that he underwent an MRI examination this month during a visit to Walter Reed hospital, one that turned out “perfect.” The president, per Politico, did not say what part of his body had been scanned.
“The doctor said [it] was some of the best reports, for the age, they’ve ever seen,” Trump told reporters.
“It was perfect, yeah,” he said. “I mean, I gave you the full results. We had an MRI and the machine, you know, the whole thing. And it was perfect,” Fox News quoted Trump as saying.
There were some pretty shocked reactions on social media to the video of Trump being led around, during his visit to Japan.
This is how UN-SERIOUS this administration is. When you meet with a foreign leader staff from the PROTOCOL OFFICE is supposed to brief the president on EVERY SINGLE DETAIL ABOUT THE TRIP, including where to stand and where to walk. Why didn’t he know what to do?

This is worse than when Queen Elizabeth had to teach him how to walk. https://t.co/xZhz9CrnFg

yeah that’s the way I’d expect a guy who earlier today said to a press pool “so they gave me the test to see if my brain is mush and the results were definitely good” to be walking. https://t.co/WpUp4Qkgeh
