Ex-PM Abe's widow hopes Trump will lead world to peace in 2nd term

Peace by giving into land grabbing dictators.

Never forget, this is the guy who suggested injecting disinfectant, has more than two dozen accusations of sexual assault against him as well as being a twice impeached, six times bankrupted convicted criminal. Let’s hope he brings peace to the world though.

There is not liking war and then there is appeasement.

. . . a person who does not want war. Well, I suppose that most people on this planet don't want war.

On what she and Trump discussed last Sunday, Abe did not give any details, only saying, "It was a good dinner."

Maybe they spoke about the mutual lucrative benefits Trump and her husband derived from the Unification Church.

The LDP was called out for their ties though there were few consequences.

They still remain a force within Trump's MAGA GOP.

And a tax exempt money making machine defrauding the gullible and using their ill-gotten gains to exert political clout.

If that's what Trump's agenda is, I will say nothing about him. But isn't Trump's agenda "America first"? To him, if only the U.S. were prosperous, nothing would count.

Yes, give Trump the Nobel Peace Prize. The US will quit again. No will to fight just loans.

Never forget, this is the guy who suggested injecting disinfectant, has more than two dozen accusations of sexual assault against him as well as being a twice impeached, six times bankrupted convicted criminal.

Irrelevant with the office of the US presidency.

US Presidents are not typically orchestrators of Peace, Akie should know that. Perhaps she is just being hopeful.

Conflict and war are excellent business for the US, and has been for well over 100 years.

Hegemony and profit are what she can expect from a US President. It might be peaceful in the US, but it won't be elsewhere.

Hahahahaha……

ha ha ha…

I don’t know what lala land she’s living in, however, the only thing Trump knows how to do is bring chaos to the US and the rest of the world.

All we can do is pray that Trump and his sidekick Musk don’t wreck to much havoc.

'Never forget' to add he also just convincingly trumped :) the other side and won presidency, electoral college, the Senate and the House. US voters have clearly spoken. Hopefully peace comes soon.

Good that Don is not an appeaser then.

It's about ensuring country security.

How come you didn't include the rare popular vote victory by a whopping 1.5%?

We will see how that comment holds up. Of course for you, gifts being presented to Moscow are the way the world is supposed to work.

Ahhhhahahahahahaaaa LOLZ.

Get ready for the nuclear 'incident' in the Ukraine... and Trump will do NOTHING.

Israel will expand the war in the middle east with Iran... and Trump will do NOTHING.

Next 4+ years are going to be super CRAZY!!

Regardimg war, compare his record to Biden's...clear difference, not even close.

Not if his threat to Panama is serious……And just like his bf Putain, wants to do a ‘quick’ land-grab.

Well, yeah. Apart from the fans of the (enters high school freshman mode) military-industrial-warmongering-elite illuminati ninjas, yeah, fight The Man!, I think everyone wants him to lead the world to peace.

Given his own supporters' behavior at the capitol on Jan. 6, though, he doesn't inspire much confidence. If anything, his skills lie in whipping people up into a frenzy of moronic ignorance, and that rarely leads to peace.

Of course he will, that’s one of the many reasons the American people returned him to the world stage to lead.

Who needs a comics section with comedy like this!

This is the hard hitting stuff I come to JT for. Someone should write a science fiction novel with Trump and Abe transported back in time working together to avert USA America and Japan confrontation in WW2.

Akie Abe recalled Trump saying at a restaurant during his visit to Japan in 2019 that he and Shinzo Abe would not have let World War II take place.

Of course that begs the question of IJA troops in Korea, China, Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands ...

Good that Don is not an appeaser then....We will see how that comment holds up. "

Time will tell, but those wishing for peace are cautiously optimistic. Warmongers will be disappointed, true.

"Of course for you, gifts being presented to Moscow are the way the world is supposed to work."

It's Christmas season, everyone enjoys gifts. People of Ukraine want negotiated ceasefire and peace, not more war which you keep pushing. Hopefully Santa Trump will deliver.

How come you didn't include the rare popular vote victory by a whopping 1.5%?"

You can cope any way you like, fact is the Dems under Biden / Harris lost their way and their woke agenda camp got their backsides handed to them on a platter last month. They didn't win a single thing that mattered. At least that's what my US friends tell me. Or are they mistaken ?

Real estate deals.

I don’t know what lala land she’s living in, however, the only thing Trump knows how to do is bring chaos to the US and the rest of the world.

Yet the world was mostly at peace when Trump was POTUS , as Legrande comment above accurately states "

Hamas-Putin had not started their assaults under Trump. Winning the lottery is not a sign of skill.

HopeSpringsEternalToday 09:10 am JST

Akie is correct to be hopeful, as the globalists with their Kremlin fantasies are now packing up, WWIII risks fading

The Kremlin's fantasies of empire are indeed risking WW3.

"Of course for you, gifts being presented to Moscow are the way the world is supposed to work."

Unironically believing russia needs some gifts...

People of Ukraine want negotiated ceasefire and peace, not more war which you keep pushing.

But 70% do not want to cede territory which is the only thing that has been offered.

They didn't win a single thing that mattered.

These things go in cycles. Even the completely unqualified and belligerent Trump benefited from a cycle out of power.

At least that's what my US friends tell me.

Or are they mistaken ?

Your "US friends" are fellow Putinists. I don't know what thy are on but it isn't good.

No, it's not - it's Trump first and his inflated ego lusting for the 2025 Nobel will have already whispered into his ear to grab at the chance handed to him by the clueless chicken-hawk Biden on a plate.

HE WILL, It is already happening and he is not even in office yet.

Biden's war mongers will watch their war machine run dry as soon as Trump turns off their supply valves.

I cant see Trump delivering a pizza let alone "world peace "

Its not like he's some "Mental Colossus ".. or..a "stable genius " by his own reckoning even .

What chance is that? Are you saying when the American Rescue Plan was being passed, they should have been thinking about how Failed Businessman would be able to play it?

WoodyLeeToday 09:27 am JST

You do know MAGAs want to spend more on the military, right?

That good and all, We all want peace or a piece of the action but you better get in line because in front of you, you have Boeing and the industrial elite doing there best getting their latest piece of the action.

I doubt that the widow of a PM who looked back wistfully on 1930s Japan would be talking with Trump about world peace. Or maybe "peace" is a euphemism for something else.

A conman doing what he does best, conning people. I imagine the news here for the PM and certain government officials must be one sided or something that tries to only talk about Trumps good qualities but I assure you that America is not more peaceful for Hispanics, African Americans, Native Americans and Asians from the time Trump was in office, during the time America was recovering from the scars Trump gave us and the next 4 years are expected to get worse.

I dread the day when World leaders will cry “Peace and Security”. Not a nice outcome.

They didn't win a single thing that mattered...These things go in cycles.

Calm cope is the best way, I agree.

Your "US friends" are fellow Putinists. I don't know what thy are on but it isn't good."

Not what they say, they are proud US patriots they tell me. No reason to not believe them. They love their country.

What Abe's widow really meant to say was to undo the damage caused by the libs in the Biden Administration.

Of course that begs the question of IJA troops in Korea, China, Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands ...

and don’t forget the u.s. troops in the the philippines, hawaii, midway, china etc., british troops in singapore and china and throughout asia, french and dutch colonies throughout the pacific.

japan was surrounded by western colonies and a hostile russia.

look at a map.

Even Putin will say he doesn't like war.

BTW, why is this woman important?

Peace and honor.

And Prosperity.

No more shameful Biden behaviour with those despicable, beyond contempt pardons.

Genocidal stuff and rolling with the controversial parades.

your misogyny

MY “misogyny”?

BTW, why is this woman important?

So, she's definitely not the sharpest knife in the drawer is she?

seems like someone doesnt understand what a word means again.

Please indicate MY “misogynistic” comment.

Oh wow, backup account last posted 1 November (pre election) seems suddenly and oddly angry today.

I doubt it.

It'll surely be chaos, especially since he’s bizarrely handed power to Elon Musk.

The pair of them are a threat to global security.

Alternative perspective: you have nowhere to shoehorn your misogyny today so this article provides an outlet to so do,

Brilliant example of woke hysteria, where disagreement is automatically labeled as some sort of racist, homophobic, transphobic, sexist, fascist, antivaxxer conspiracy theorist hate speech. Sorry dood, it's not "misogyny" to have a critical opinion - it's called free speech. Maybe if you spent less time crying about imaginary oppressions and more time engaging with reality, you'd be taken a bit more seriously.

Please indicate MY “misogynistic” comment.

I always take responsibility for my mistakes.

I meant "misanthropy".

A real eye opener to see the venom: the gratuitous, shameful attacks on a grieving widow who expresses a candid opinion, from what amounts to Joe/VP/they/them rusted-on barnacles.

Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last...

She's a wonderful lady. Smart too. Her comments demonstrate that to us. And many of you also demonstrate your intelligence with your comments as well.

If anything, his skills lie in whipping people up into a frenzy of moronic ignorance,"

So you are saying that the majority of US voters across all demographics that delivered his Trump across the board electoral win were whipped up into moronic ignorance that made them vote for him. Hmm..naah.

"And WW3 is creeping up on us, spearheaded by Musk and his royal pawn."

Correct version is - WW creeping up on us courtesy of sleepy Joe warmongering administration. Hopefully in another month Trump will be focusing on bringing peace to the world table.

Interesting insight into when to make- and dress-up and look President-courting, and when not to.

The "media caricature " of Trumpy boy is based on his "media appearances "

He is as thick as two short planks.

He is an idiot .

So you are saying that the majority of US voters across all demographics that delivered his Trump across the board electoral win were whipped up into moronic ignorance that made them vote for him. Hmm..naah.

People who were already inclined to vote for him were, by definition, ignorant, taking the modern sense of the word of "intentionally not knowing". I like the Japanese translation, 無視, "not seeing", which absolutely nails this nuance.

First time around there might have been an argument for voting for him, as he was a sort of unknown quality in terms of politics, although his numerous failed businesses might have been a clue that he wasn't the genius businessman that his devoted fans seem to think. However, this time round, voting for him was a clear sign that you support what he stands for.

So he just brought out that ignorance by playing to their prejudice and hatred.

So. Hmmm. Yeah.

People who were already inclined to vote for him were, by definition, ignorant, taking the modern sense of the word of "intentionally not knowing"..... So he just brought out that ignorance by playing to their prejudice and hatred. So. Hmmm. Yeah."

So that then makes around 77 million ignorant voters across all US demographics. Cool. Another nice example of the sleepy/word salad/ woke supporter's hubris. If they take the same attitude to the next election in 4 years time they'll ensure another Republican landslide. Keep it up.

Yes, they are saying this exact thing. Most of the people who voted for him are either senile boomers or first time idiot children. He only won at all because 20 million voters brains exploded because they couldn't handle the propaganda from Elon. He bought the election with double edge lies all over the country. Also Tiktok chinese propaganda. If you think you're smart and you voted for him, I have only one piece of advice for you. Dunning-Kruger.

Well go on, cite a source? Which wars did Biden start?

I'll be quite happy to watch my home country collapse under the weight of its own ignorance, stupidity and hate, from over here in Japan. I wasn't planning on going back any time soon, and this just reinforces my decision.

Akie Abe has never been elected and never served in office.

Ex-PM Abe's widow hopes Trump will lead world to peace in 2nd term

That's way far fetched and too much to ask for from him. Last I heard and watched, apparently, Musk is more the elected uuuum, leader, than Trump. No lie.

Akie Abe's husband's policies and political views failed the country.

He only won at all because 20 million voters brains exploded because they couldn't handle the propaganda from Elon. Also Tiktok chinese propaganda."

Yes, of course...20 million voters are brain damaged because they didn't vote for the word salad candidate due to Elon propaganda and Tiktok chinese propaganda. Quite a conspiracy theory there from the supposedly anti conspiracy camp.

Akie Abe's husband's policies and political views failed the country.

At least he recognized that China was the biggest threat to Japan, unlike Komeito which has always cozied up to China.
