Not used to being in close proximity to green eyed devils. Probably didn't trust herself because she had girl wood. Her generation probably still thinks of blacks as 1 degree away from monkees.

She speaks a bit of English, but actually not enough to feel very confidant conversationally, as I understand it. It is really fun to think she was likely not very forthcoming though, in attempting to talk with him. :)
The seating chart is a really interesting thing though: her next to Trump and Melania next to Putin. Amazing.

She is one smart lady. Speaking to Trump will only mean trouble, and she stayed clear. Good for her and Japan.

That sounds like how my grandmother made place cards for dinner parties. Wife swapping under the guise of good . . . breeding >>titter, titter>>
Japan's first lady pretends not to speak English rather than chat with Donald Trump
'I was seated next to the wife of Prime Minister Abe ... she's a terrific woman, but doesn't speak English,' Trump said. But she does
Akie Abe, first lady of Japan and wife of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, has spoken English many times in public, fluently, with only the slightest accent.
She chatted, for example, about a shared admiration for star baseball pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka (then of the Boston Red Sox), at the White House with President George W. Bush and his wife Laura in 2007. She has chatted with Laureen Harper, had cocktails with Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, spoken to business leaders in New York, and to a Virginia elementary school audience with Michelle Obama
She has even met Donald and Melania Trump a couple of times, earlier this year at Andrews Air Force Base, followed by a weekend at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, where the two men played golf.
