This is what actual \u201cnews\u201d agencies believe we Americans care about.<\/p>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph speakable\">The moment happened when he and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe stood above a koi pond at Akasaka Palace with small wooden boxes to feed the fish.\u00a0 This is apparently tradition when foreign dignitaries come to visit. The boxes were filled with fish food, and\u00a0it was reported\u00a0that Trump got impatient with the little spoons and decided to just rudely dump the whole box.\u00a0 For example, this Twitter user said, \u201cKoi don\u2019t have very good impulse control in that regard, and will probably overfeed and become ill as a consequence if no one cleans that up. Abe is basically watching in polite rage-horror as the epic orange buffoon tries to kill his fish.\u201d<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph speakable\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph
