Trump undercuts his own pomp and circumstance
President #DonaldTrump often gripes about his bad press -- but as his state visit to Japan shows, sometimes he's his own worst enemy. Trump ought to be in the middle of an easy two-week cruise of flattering coverage and statesman-like imagery, with British royals set to follow #Japan's imperial court and roll out the red carpet pageantry that he loves next week.
He could have stepped away from the perpetually raging #WashingtonDC storm, especially since Congress is on a recess that could offer a timeout from his separation-of-powers showdown with Democrats. But asking Trump to avoid controversy is like expecting a moth to avoid a light bulb. So the President made a conscious choice to use his brief trip to #Asia to whip up new outrage back home over the 2020 election and his handling of #NorthKorea.
