President Donald Trump will leave on a five-nation Asia tour to include Japan, South Korea, China, Vietnam and the Philippines on Friday and the 12-day overseas trip is causing great consternation inside the White House.

Chief of Staff and senior child care manager, John Kelly, has drafted a list of 18 major moron mistakes — protocol slights, assorted faux pas, and various verbal stupidities — that the president must avoid during the trip so as not to offend his Asian hosts at a particularly sensitive time.

We have obtained a copy of Kelly’s pre-trip checklist with the chief babysitter’s itemized warnings for the president:

  1. Many people you see in Asia will have slanted or slitty eyes. This is normal. Do NOT ask them if they are sleepy.
