Donald Trump's trip to Japan has sparked fresh mockery of the president.
On Tuesday, October 28, a video went viral of Trump being guided around a room inside of Tokyo's Akasaka Palace by Japan's prime minister, Sanae Takaichi — who took office less than one week before the U.S. commander-in-chief's visit.
While in the gorgeous ballroom, Trump was greeted by an honor guard and serenaded by an accompanying band as Takaichi instructed him to walk around the room's perimeter.

Donald Trump visited Tokyo's Akasaka Palace with Japan's prime minister, Sanae Takaichi.
At the start of the video, Takaichi could be seen standing beside Trump during a presentation by Japan’s Self-Defense Force. Upon its completion, she stepped down from a platform and motioned for the Republican politician to walk in front of her.
Things seemed to get a bit awkward after Trump reached the band, however, as he stopped in his tracks to stare and listen while the prime minister attempted to get him to keep moving.
He then reached an American flag and saluted it before Takaichi continued to extend her hand and motioned for him to proceed.
After walking past his own delegation, Trump finally made it back to the platform.

Except critics were quick to clap back at the White House, with one person insisting: "All the full video does is make him look worse. You should have thanked them for only sharing a small part!"
"The full video is worse," another individual similarly stated, as a third hater snubbed, "What’s the difference? It just shows the guards also trying to walk grandpa."

Donald Trump and Japan's prime minister, Sanae Takaichi, appeared friendly during their visit.
Some people were bothered by their choice in language, with someone ridiculing: "The 'official" White House account calling people dumba--? Who runs this? A 17-year-old boy?"
"YIKES: Watch Donald Trump get guided through a ballroom by the Japanese prime minister. He’s completely lost. Maybe this explains why Trump got an MRI scan recently," a fifth critic declared, referring to the president's recent evaluation at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.
MAGA Fans Jump to Donald Trump's Defense

Donald Trump was trolled for looking confused during the Japan-U.S. summit meeting.
Fans of Trump defended his appearance in the clip, as a supporter noted: "That is classic bored Trump when he feels like somebody hasn't set up an event properly. He's like OK. You want me to walk around the edge of the room, I'll walk around the edge of the room. And then we're gonna sit down and you’re gonna make a bunch of concessions to me on trade for wasting my time like this."
"I'd be confused on where I'm supposed to be walking too... That's not a thing in most places," another admirer argued, as a third fan joked, "He's trying so hard to make her go first and she's trying so hard to make him go first. Hilarious video."
