From the exhausted files of “You Can’t Make This Stuff Up” comes this tidbit of news about the Pumpkin Pinochet residing at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.:
Donald Trump greeted Japan’s prime minister Shinzo Abe to the White House on Friday – but it didn’t go exactly to plan.
It appears Trump wasn’t wearing his earpiece – which translated Abe’s address for the room.
Yet, people noted Trump nodding in agreement to Abe.
And of course, many in attendance, noticed:

Pres Trump doesn't appear to be wearing the translation earpiece during PM Abe's remarks. Wait, does POTUS speak Japanese?

Trump is NOT wearing a translator earpiece. This means he is PRETENDING to understand Japanese.

[White House press conference]
JAPANESE PM: *speaks Japanese*
TRUMP: [not wearing translator earpiece] I was told there would be subtitles
But let’s not be so hard on “El Presidente” as well into the speech, he did realized he wasn’t wearing it, and realized he probably should put it in.

Trump was reported to have been following cues from his staffers, who were wearing earpieces, on when to laugh.

President Trump is now using the translation earpiece; he was apparently not wearing it during Japanese Prime Minister Abe's opening remarks.
