Pres. Trump bestows the massive 4 1/2 foot, 70-pound President's Cup to the champion of Tokyo’s top sumo tournament, Asanoyama Hideki, during his state visit to Japan.
Standing on the sacred mound inside the sumo wrestling arena, President Donald Trump hoisted the massive 70-pound President's Cup into the arms of a person befitting such a trophy: the 360-pound champion of Tokyo’s top sumo tournament, Asanoyama Hideki.

It's a very ancient sport. And I've always wanted to see sumo wrestling, so it was really great."
The event allows the Japanese to showcase traditional culture that dates back to the 17th century. But professional wrestling of a different sort also happens to be one of Trump’s favorite pastimes. Before he moved into the White House, Trump made it into the WWE Hall of Fame and even entered the ring to fight with WWE owner Vince McMahon and, with some dramatic flair, shave McMahon’s head.
