50.1% of Japanese give high marks to Ishiba-Trump summit: poll

Then 50.1 % of Japanese sampled are very gullible or at least very optimistic.

I would hope that it's a situation whereby 50.1% of the population had fat-fingered their initial response on their phones when they did this survey. Then again, most people generally don't care about anything until the pain becomes much too close to home.

*Ishiba described his first face-to-face meeting with Trump as "very meaningful," calling him "very sincere" and a man "with a strong sense of mission." Trump also praised Ishiba as a future "great prime minister."*

Ishiba clearly does have one characteristic of a future great Prime Minister: the ability to lie through his teeth on the world stage.

Let's not forget that Ishiba also told trump that he must have been chosen by God. Most people in Japan only know about Trump through the mainstream media. If they truly understood the depth of his racism and criminal behavior, they might see their prime minister’s deference to him in a very different light.

I have not meet a Japanese person who approves of Trump sorry I mean Homer.

when con-artists get together and want to act important. Japanese care nothing for politics so the entire story is mute. And the Japanese I know who actually know who Trump think he is an orange buffoon. I remind them that’s an insult to buffoons.

I have not meet a Japanese person who approves of Trump

Need to get out more- have met plenty on both sides.

He’s broken the majority!

Both great men.

The approval rating for the Cabinet of new Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba stood at 50.7 percent, a Kyodo News survey showed Wednesday, a day after his inauguration. Not not much slide or a regain since then.

The disapproval rate was 28.9 percent, according to the poll conducted for two days from that Tuesday.

When Ishiba's predecessor, Fumio Kishida, launched his Cabinet in October 2021, the approval rate was 55.7 percent. It stood at 26.1 percent in the survey in August. Very similar trajectories.

Ishiba was elected prime minister knowing it would be an uphill climb, and he is climbing.

There is room for improvment. But so far he is checking all the boxes. If he can manage to get the consumer price index for rice to fall. His ratings will soar. As this seems to be the biggest gripe with the Japanese.

Its a real struggle for elderly Japanese to buy rice in bulk on a fixed income right now.

Japan got a major win with the supply of natural gas as well as the start of a positive relationship between the two leaders.

Good for Japan and good for me!

So around the same as Brexit. And look how that worked out

Then 50.1 % of Japanese sampled are very gullible or at least very optimistic.

That should be a good thing, should it not?

In other words, half of Japanese think the trump summit is a joke.

low expectation or so pessimistic forecast before summit are its reason.

Both are not fit for office.

Japanese citizens are like US citizens and people all across the world, they want peace and stability, needed to help currencies recover their purchasing power.

Many across the world believe DJT will be a great catalyst for peace and thus normalize the global economy, bring down inflation and make life better.

Obviously, Trump's expansion of US energy production will be hugely beneficial to Japan and help lower prices.

investments from Japan for Trump is 1 trillion dollars, but subsidy from Japan government for domestic poverty class is only 200 dollars per needy household.
