Who could forget the shove heard round the world?
Did he shove someone again in Japan at the sumo match? Is it just me or did it look like President “It’s All About Me” just shove the assistant who helped him lift the oversized, compensatory, President’s* Cup in Japan?
If so, it was not his only pause-giving moment at the venue. Trump,with BeBest in tow sat on chairs (as did the Abe’s) instead of cushions, which is apparently the normal practice at sumo matches. I suspect this was at Trump’s request so that he could be sure and get up when it was time to present the trophy. According to the AP by way of Business Insider:
Trump's visit to the wrestling match broke several traditions. Foreign leaders do not usually give presentations between matches. And while viewers generally sit on cushions on the ground, called zabutons, Trump and his wife, Melania, were given chairs. The Japan Sumo Association also banned the practice of throwing zabutons into the air as a security precaution, according to the Associated Press.
Watch for the “back-pat” at the 20 second mark...
