(ThyBlackMan.com) One must ask themselves if this current president understands the ramifications of nuclear war? Has he allowed it to really enter his mind? Trump embarked on a 5 day Asian tour, and his stop in Japan was quite embarrassing. Trump doesn’t seem to have good diplomatic skills nor proper respect for the dead. When you go to someone else’s country not only do you attempt to respect the culture, but don’t speak down to the people that are hosting you. I guess Jay-Z was right when in said: “You can pay for school, but you can’t buy class.” America out to be embarrassed as we have a leader that is the embodiment of arrogant, uncultured, and insensitive. It is understood that Trump’s staff can only do so much as he doesn’t consistently listen to their council.

The media focused on koi fish feeding gone terrible, and Trump eating a hamburger in Japan. Well truth be told the koi fish feeding could have been an accident, and if that hamburger was prepared for him (taking his preference into consideration) it would have been unkind to refuse the food. However, what one can find more disturbing was Trump not visiting the Hiroshima Memorial. That isn’t a problem because Former President Obama went…it’s a problem because it seems Donald Trump doesn’t understand why Japan doesn’t run to arms in the manner he feels they should.

The United Stated has never had to endure anything on par with a nuclear bomb, but Japan understands that level of destruction and death via the atomic bomb. Trump has shown countless times that he doesn’t see to have any care for other countries in a globalized international community. Because he can’t seem to see past his own arrogance he makes comments that are callous, and extremely insensitive.

This shows a lack of diplomacy, and it is indeed embarrassing. “Instead of budgeting time to visit the Hiroshima Memorial, Trump preceded his trip to Japan with a trip to Honolulu. He engaged in necessary and vital security briefings at Pacific Command, but ended his visit with a tweet that reminded his followers to “Remember #PearlHarbor.” It was discourteous at best, and bad diplomacy at worst. “

As Americans we must demand better of our leadership as they represent us abroad. It is uncouth to go to another land and insult the people there. “Though he praised the Japanese economy, the president added, “I don’t know if it’s as good as ours. I think not, O.K.?” he said, shooting Mr. Abe a gimlet-eyed glance. “And we’re going to try to keep it that way, and you’ll be second.”” Let’s be honest…that’s in poor taste. If people were to make a comparison with the former president it could be the fact that whether you voted for him, or not, you didn’t have to worry about being embarrassed as a nation…by the president. It’s amazing how far we have fallen as a nation, and the down spiral has not stopped.
