President Trump Is A Culinary Trendsetter In Japan

This story totally cracks me up.

President Trump recently went on a five-nation Asian tour, and while visiting Japan, he grabbed a burger with Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. Abe had Munch’s Burger Shack’s chef/owner Yutaka Yanagisawa prepare the $10 burgers. His chain is known for using 100 percent American Angus beef patties.

AMERICA HECK YEAH.

Trump had his Colby Jack cheeseburger well done. It was accompanied by the classics– Heinz ketchup and mustard.

I love how “normal” his meal is. BTW– Trump said it was “very good.”

Trump’s meal captured the Japanese people– so much that Munch’s RAN OUT OF BURGERS. Look at this:

Long lines started forming right away, and Japanese media say throngs of people eagerly snatched up all of one location’s burgers (the menu offers 21 different kinds) by 2:30 p.m. the following day. Foreseeing no quick end to their newfound “trouble,” the chain warned customers on Facebook that “congestion was expected.”

So far, Trump’s having a Midas-touch effect on almost every restaurant he visits in Asia. (Especially Ginza Ukai Tei, the teppanyaki chain whose shares promptly climbed 7 percent after Trump and Abe dined there.) For what it’s worth, if, like Trump, you must have American food while traveling in Japan, Munch’s burgers do look legit:

I’m surprised MSM didn’t spin this in some ridiculous way. “Trump FORCES Japanese people to eat burgers!” or “Businesses run out of supplies THANKS TO TRUMP!”

Annnnnnnnd now I want a burger.
