japan: TOKYO Flying nearly 7,000 miles is not President Donald Trump's idea of a good time, according to Asahi Shimbun. But he departed for Japan on Friday giddily anticipating what he promised a day earlier would be the biggest event they've had in over 200 years that is, his own meeting with the country's new emperor.

While his hosts may not view Trump's visit as quite so momentous, it is a crescendo in the remarkable campaign of flattery and cajoling waged by Japan's prime minister, Shinzo Abe. Since then, Abe has golfed with Trump three times; visited Mar-a-Lago twice; gifted him a golf club worth nearly 3,800; dropped in on First Lady Melania Trump's birthday dinner; and even, according to Trump himself, nominated Trump for a Nobel Prize. Story Continued Below Trump had not yet been inaugurated when Abe hopped on a plane, uninvited, to meet with the president-elect at Trump Tower.
