Trump's Asia trip -- waiting for the gaffes.

We've been watching President Trump's visit to Asia with a collective holding of breath, hoping that his gaffes or his displays of ignorance will merely cause embarrassment, not the start of World War III.

Wait no more.   On Sunday, in Japan, he opined his surprise that "a country of samurai warriors did not shoot down the North Korea missiles as they flew over Japan" -- referring to Kim Jong Un's testing of his ICBN capacity back in August.

Of course, the Japanese -- who, deep in their DNA, would never embarrass a guest -- just calmly explained.  They had monitored the rockets from the moment of launch and determined that they would not land on Japanese territory.   In addition, at their speed and altitude, they would have been extremely difficult to hit.   Attempting, and failing, would have embarrassed Japan -- and might have been interpreted by North Korea as an act of war.

Ah, yes, the adults in the room.
