I nearly had an accident reading this
because Trump can't articulate any specific policy areas for Abe to obsequiously agree with

In plain talk, "knee-jerk" reaction.
Right, and neither have nor care one bit about what the people want and need.

I guess we'll soon find out if Trump is that dumb American, or was simply playing to the dumb Americans out there.

"Prime Minister Abe, maybe we can come to some sort of agreement. I don't have any hotels in Tokyo yet..."

Will Trump simply steal the PM's lunch money?

What I am hearing is Trump will use the alliance with Australia as an example of how Japan, South Korea and the Philippines should structure their alliance with USA. As for trade any offshore USA company will be hit with a entry Tax. That mean companies like Apple will find it hard to sell their product in The USA. Like Toyota have plants in the USA but USA car makers have their plants in Mexico. Japanese cars will dominate USA sell because they employ USA in the USA. Euro cars are made in Mexico and will be treated hard to enter the USA.

Japan, in Professor John Dower's terminology, has always been the US "Super domino" in the Far East. There will be no reason for a less amical relation between the two countries. I strongly believe that Japan, South Korea and Australia will be able to stand firm against the Zhongnanhai war criminals. As for Putin, we can wait.

I expected Abe to take a more conservative policy when was elected but he is a globalist much more than left-liberal politicians.
