His goal is to equalize trade with all Countries and have the US stop being the World’s “Bitch” in economic trade. Originally Posted by Jacky S

When I got hit in Vietnam, I spent about 4 weeks in Okinawa getting patched up, then another 3 weeks in Japan.So...like...50 years ago, at least? In a time that was closer to WWII than we are now to your time in Viet Nam?
While the Japanese were very cordial to me, as a wounded Caucasian, I cannot even say on this Forum how they referred to non Caucasian Americans.
Looking back, I now realize that many were some of the most racist people I had known in my just over 19 years.
And I was from the South.
Things might be different now. I can not recall meeting one Japanese person since. Originally Posted by Jacky S

Maybe Trump just thinks Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba is a hunk and dumb dumb meant it as a compliment.Well, there ya have it. Trump was being complementary, lol.

Mister Japan (Japanese: ミスター・ジャパン) is an national male beauty pageant responsible for selecting Japan's representatives to the Manhunt International and Mister International pageant.
The contest seeks to discover men who are not only good-looking, but also possess "intelligence, emotion, humanity, inner self, confidence," and who are highly expressive. Originally Posted by Lucas McCain

If Trump's agenda is to actually have a productive agreement with them, disrespecting the Prime Minister of the country we owe the most money to is hardly the way to go about successfully executing any deal.
Japan is not China. China is predatory, Japan is not. They deserve respect unlike China and being the incompetent rapidly cognitive declining idiot geezer that he is, Trump is incapable of showing respect unless you kiss his ass and that's not Japan because they don't kiss ass in business dealings... I can honestly say it is amazing to me how when I was in Tokyo to help close a M&A deal when I was early in my career, how I've never been so politely and respectfully told to basically "fuck off" when they decided to go another route.
