| #12 My Friends in Japan gave it a great big thumbs up. It's excellent messaging and diplomacy. I bet Trump played with the club Abe gifted him. A double plus. |

| #10 The Japanese are nutty for golf. As magpie sez, Abe and the Prez playing together would be a Big Deal back home. As for holes with gators, may I suggest a .45 iron? |

| #8 Golfer uses putter to defend himself against a 10' gator that tried to drag him into the water on the 4th hole. Not enough club - I think you need a sand wedge in that situation. |

| #7 Trump is getting things done (on and off the golf course). Obama, not so much. There is a difference. |

| #6 To the Japanese Trump playing golf with PM Abe is a big-time Face-giving ceremony for Abe. More symbolic than some kissy-face photo-op in the Rose Garden. Idiot NYT writer ... like saying "wet water", no? |

| #1 Thump knows how to form relationships and deals to the benefit of both sides. They know how to be a grascious host. Obama knows how to exploit ralationships to stab the other in the back. They only know how to insult their guests and allies and force them to leave by the back door with the rest of the trash ( in their eyes ). |
