This is old news but I find it really hillarious. During Donald Trump's visit to Germany during the G20 summit, Donald Trump was sitting next to The first lady of Japan. In an interview Trump said she is a very nice lady and he tried talking to her for hours but she doesn't reply because she doesn't understand English.
This video I embedded is the Japanese first lady speaking English fluently for 17 minutes:

She's a very smart lady. When I was in Bangkok, a Nigerian sat beside me in the bus stop while waiting for the bus. He talked to me and I never responded. I pretended I couldn't speak English because he wanted to get my phone number. I wasn't interested.

@opalina143 I couldn't run away since I was waiting for my bus. And I was too afraid to tell him off. So I just pretended like I couldn't understand him at all.

Now I wonder if Trump is trying to save face or just being his usual stupid self, or maybe the Japanese First Lady is demonstrating Trump's lack of political and feminine expertise.

Well, she's reading, it doesn't mean she knows how to speak English.
Or she simply refused to talk because her husband is jealous.

@CaptAlbertWhisker Really? 
In the video you posted it didn't feel like she spoke English at all. I'm not referring to the accent.

OH my goodness, that is so funny! She pretended not to speak English because she did not want to talk to him, I bet. Smart lady.

I think I will use that strategy if I encountered a stranger I do not want to talk with. I will try to reply in Esperanto, Klingon or Elvish.

Who wouldn't wanna talk to that guy? What she did was right. At least she saved herself by lying she couldn't speak English.

I may wanna talk with Trump because before he turned into this awful annoying President, he is a good business man. I want to absorb something from his words. His Parable about 7-up changed my life.
