This Would Be Funny

If it weren't my country. Sort of like the Keystone Kops taking over the government:

One day before U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s first meeting with a foreign leader, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, Japanese officials said they had not finalized when or where in New York it would take place, who would be invited, or in some cases whom to call for answers. . . .

Japanese and U.S. officials said on Wednesday the State Department had not been involved in planning the meeting, leaving the logistical and protocol details that normally would be settled far in advance still to be determined.

“There has been a lot of confusion,” said one Japanese official.

The Japanese are masters of understatement.

In spite of Trump's denials, the picture that's coming out of his "transition" is one of a bunch of amateurs under the direction of a five-year-old trying to stage Der Ring des Nibelungen.
