"Trump stepped into the sumo ring Monday when visiting Tokyo for a meeting with the Japanese bitcoin firm Metaplanet for a quick exhibition dressed not in a mawashi but in a sky-blue polo and denim shorts to square off against a yokozuna, a wrestler who has achieved the highest rank in the sport."
"At 6-foot-5, Trump managed an initial shove that briefly put his opponent on the back foot before the yokozuna scooped him up and carried him out of the ring, ending the match before it had truly begun. Trump laughed off the defeat, shook hands with his opponent, and bowed. Not every day you get invited to sumo the legend, Yokozuna! Almost had him! A great honor! he posted on Instagram."
"Trump's sumo debut came as the Trump family's flagship token $WLFI began open exchange-based trading on Monday, the product of a venture founded by Eric and Donald Trump Jr. As trading closed out the family's stake in token reportedly spiked in value to $5 billion."
