Donald Trump was told to ‘gently’ feed the koi carp. This is what happened next
Here’s Donald Trump with Japanese premiere Shinzo Abe ‘gently’ feeding koi carp on his visit to Japan.
Steady on there fella! As many people were keen to point out on Twitter, koi carp can only eat a small amount of food at a time.
The clue’s in those tiny spoons they were given.
Trump: impetuous, incapable of following simple instructions, and not someone you’d trust to look after fish. https://t.co/bIWVEqI4PF

Laughing with him or at him? You decide. But somebody had to scoop out that crap so the fish didn't die. #Dotardhttps://t.co/aki03BRufQ

Except it turns out Trump was only following his host’s lead. Look at this.
Here’s Trump.

Here’s Abe.

And here are the koi.
