"Donaldo-Kun"

"Shinzo?" *Turns his head*

***Bang***

"Donaldo-kun, get up, it's not time to die yet, old friend"

I immediately thought of this fun video when Abe got shot. He seemed like a genuine man who loved Japan and it's people. God Bless him.

[KimiRai-lfgn]

I really loved him, he seemed to be a genuine man. I loved him also for this funny moment. Rest in Peace Mister Shinzo Abe, friend of the world 💔

0:40 his face is like... "Oooh god that was awkward"

[paulalwayslearning]

Abe was a great man. Loved his people and was trying to make a difference right to the end campaigning in the streets with his people. No rally. Just in the streets. The world, as much as Japan, was lucky to have him as an example of what a great leader looks like.

I am shocked by today's events and praying for Shinzo Abe!!

[snsd]

Reporters: Please look at me!

Trump: What are they saying?

Abe: please look at me.

and then Trump stared Abe. That's why Abe look uncomfortable. Lol

I honor Mr Abe by re watching this clip and his humorous and gracious reaction to the handshake. Truly a gem of a man.

"What did they say? "
"Please...look at me "
And he looks at his face.

Aahaha. This is more funnier than shaking hands.

[gryphonc]

the look on the Japanese PM's face when it is all over....

[dannzenmon]

This made me cringe. You can tell the Japanese PM is so uncomfortable.

That look of relief on Abe’s face when Trump finally lets go of his hand! RIP.

[ViItramite]

I’m deeply saddened to hear he has passed away. He was a great person who was trying to make a difference in the world and loved his people. Rest well Abe ❤️🙏

[prasanthalpha]

He was like "Just give me my sword and Knife and let me commit seppuku"

[YoukaiFofo]

You will never be forgotten Abe-sama 🫡🫡

[retroreactive]

What's with the constant yanking his hand towards him. Is he trying to show his dominance ?

[shannonjames]

TF!! Why Trump keep tapping his hand? Akward af too.. The Japanese PM was weirded out..

[shmoit.v]

At the end trumps said " I think our hands made a baby "

[knbjmjtijmw]

Reporters: Look at me please. （In Japanese）
Trump: What did they say?
Abe: Please look at me.
Trump looks at Abe.
