So the concept of “dignity wraith” reaches to overseas leaders as well. Hmph.
“I never said I didn’t” nominate him, Abe said in response to a follow-up question by Yuichiro Tamaki, a lawmaker for b)
That full-throated support from Abe argues for either a) no nomination actually occured, and Abe never sent a letter claiming to have nominated him or
b) a tepid nomination letter was written in response to a threat from the WH.
Happy President’s Day, everyone!
Trump is the planet’s third rail.
It certainly is an embarrassment for Japan.
“Being Trump’s closest friend among world leaders has not worked out too well for Abe,” said Jeff Kingston, director of Asian Studies at Temple University Japan. “He’s not making Abe look very good.”
Everything Trump Touches, Ch. #437
Above almost all others, Abe should know … that Trump is not normal. This whole affair is Abesurd!
“Tight-lipped”
Yeah, that’s the way Donald likes it! Just ask Lindsey!
(Hey, you didn’t honestly think I was going to pass up a chance to dump on the Dowager Empress of South Carolina, did you?)
If you help Trump, he will ruin you.
I do not know how much more clear history can prove an axiom to be, and yet people still help him, and are surprised when it ruins them.
Alfred Nobel never ever saw this coming
Indeed. This will explode the deep meaning behind the NPP.
They have a cure for ETTD in Japan. It involves a samurai sword and disembowelment.
Hopefully this will eventually be true of Putin,
As he has provided the most help, hopefully he goes down the hardest…
A good reminder of how feckless, castrated and fearful these world leaders are when confronted with a giant scumbag. They cower and flatter.
If Abe is going to admit to one war crime [“I highly praise Moron’s leadership”] then he should fess up to others [Nanking, “comfort women”] while he’s at it.
Honest Abe?
Either way…
Not exactly “Honest Abe”
I can imagine Putin’s Puppet keeping this charade going right up to the December announcement. “I was nominated for a Nobel prize! I hear I’m a finalist! People tell me they really love what I’m doing for peace. Some of the judges actually cried, I’m told. Stay tuned for the big reveal!”
Beat me by like a second…
“I highly praise President Trump’s leadership,” Abe said.
By all means, keep digging.
“Being Trump’s closest friend among world leaders has not worked out too well for Abe,…"
Being Trump’s friend doesn’t work out well for anyone, why should he be any different?
And I use the term friend loosely.
