President Trump arrived at Yokota AFB at 1038 local time and was met by an overwhelming crowd of active duty, dependents, etc. He addressed the troops after receiving an Air Force Jacket from the Commander. A short address and then into a helicopter and off to Kawagoe to meet Prime Minister Abe for a light lunch and an afternoon of "working golf" which I assumes means they will be holding discussion at the same time they are playing.
Tomorrow meetings with the government, the parents of the girl kidnapped to North Korea, a Dinner hosted by the Emperor. The next day off to South Korea.
Sunday night now and all is going very well. They seemed to enjoy the round of golf, but no scores were released. LOL Hopefully everything goes well tomorrow with their talks and NK does not try to pull anything.
Karl the welcoming you describe occurs here too. Unfortunately, our media is corrupt they don't report it. in fact they will release "poll" numbers that state his approval rating is the lowest of any president in history.

Couple of not too interesting pictures for you. Evidently the two men and their wives are getting along very well, lot of smiles and even jokes (almost unheard of over here) making for a really relaxed visit/meeting.

Golfing with Abe and Pro Golfer Hideki Matsuyama.
Arrival at Yokota Air Base
Very nice pictures Karl, again I can not stress enough how we in the US do not get the real DJT pics and news. I would implore you to plaster this on FB but guessing you are not on FB.

Awesome pictures and an awesome trip for our President Trump!
It's so sad that we have to get the truth from foreign countries. President Trump really is amazing!
My mother will not believe anything but the fake news media, and it breaks my heart that she is so gullible. Mom firmly believes that I will break the family apart just mentioning Trumps success as President. I wish she could see this, but she calls it fake news. My sisters are the same way. I stand alone.

Faith isn't something that keeps bad things from happening. Faith is what helps us get through bad things when they do happen.
These will finish it up. President Trump and PM Abe after the press conference; President Trump meeting the relatives of Japanese kidnapped by North Korea and President Trump and his wife meeting the Emperor.
OK, that is it. Cannot find a picture from the dinner last night hosted by Abe, sorry for that. Hope you all have enjoyed these.
