The schedule tRumpsky must keep on his Asian tour (these are just the highlights) …

- Sunday, 11/12, arrives in Philippines, Manila, attends 50th anniversary celebration of Asia

This is a rather grueling schedule — even for a younger man. Especially considering the stress involved hobnobbing with foreign leaders (particularly when you don’t know what you’re doing), getting in and out of planes and helicopters, keeping up the “I’m a smart guy” facade, etc. Oh, and of course, the occasional time on the golf course.
How do you think our 71-year-old leader will do? Any guesses on how many naps he’ll take?
