But to the Washington Post, this accidental fall is a “ninja stunt”:

One, there was nothing “ninja” about this. Two, why would Trump notice when he’s 20 or more so yards away and looking the wrong direction? And three, isn’t this a “little racist”?

Japanese guy's a ninja? Little racist? https://t.co/hWVsvam4MC
