President Donald Trump's trip to Japan isn't about foreign policy. It's very much about domestic controversy — or at least about escaping it. That's late-night comic Jimmy Fallon's theory. Hear the whole thing in today's Best of Late Night, above. 

And it seems that Trump is also trying to escape Japanese tradition. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has invited the president to watch sumo wresting. The matches are traditionally watched from a seated position on the floor. Guess what Trump doesn't want to do? Stephen Colbert explains.
