The Oval Office is supposed to be a place where words are measured, but his weren\u2019t. In front of Japan\u2019s Prime Minister, he reached for a laugh and instead grabbed a live wire of history. Those present describe a silence that felt heavier than protocol, as if everyone understood at once that something sacred had been mishandled.
