Should the White House now ask Japan's PM to nominate Trump for a Participation Trophy?

I had this feeling yesterday, when watching the early greetings and dinner with Trump and Kim, that this is where we were going to end up.

Kim seemed "privately amused." He was filmed laughing, but he was always turned away from Trump.

Trump, often looking like the last kid picked for dodge ball, sat there doing his "power face moves."

-> He often jutted out his jaw to look "rugged"

-> His eyes kept darting from right to left, probably another scanning of the room to make sure his majesty was being captured for the ages.

-> He put on his biggest fake smile. We know the only time he offers a genuine smile is when porn stars and playmates say "yes," when he's brought his second scoop after dinner, and when he successfully cheats the IRS out of millions of dollars.

-> A few times he leaned in on Kim so that the media (at least the ones who were not banned for shouting questions) could capture the love between them. Kim wasn't sending any of those vibes back. In an early "tell," Trump attempted to nuzzle up and Kim sat straight up in his chair and folded his hands across his belly. Not a good sign in body language world.

So he went to Vietnam and was bombarded with pundits proclaiming "He finally went to Vietnam." Cohen...like him or not, believe him or not...excoriated him in front of a worldwide television audience.

And now he's coming home with nothing in his hand except his tiny little mushroom, which...at this point...is probably smaller than ever.

There probably won't be any loving hugs or sweaty animal passion coming from Melania after Cohen spend 8 hours telling the TV that her husband was boning Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal and his role was to directly lie to her while covering it up. Even if she's managed to survive in denial mode all these months, that's gone now.

Won't you join me in offering your thoughts and prayers for our returning conquering hero?
