Cue: troll army and endless "Bad Abe" memes.
Sorry, we are not so dumb not to know that it takes an entire government to run a country, not just one guy.

The challenge of social security seems to be how to reduce it.

US had Sean Spicer and Sarah Huckerbee Sanders. Japan has Suga.

Prime Minister Abe has a severe bout of sticky seat syndrome, a common political dilemma accustomed to an increasing number of so called heads of government, dictators or otherwise.

No. Prime Minister Abe's long term in office is the result of political apathy, pathetic opposition parties, media that fails to ask tough questions of the government, and most importantly not being held accountable for the scandals he's been associated with.

Is this a joke?

No, a moribund electorate and stagnating society is responsible.

Suga,
Is such a tool.
How can he stand there and let those comments come out of his mouth and keep a straight face.
Well,to be honest,he never smiles so that could be a bit easier.
However,Abe has done nothing only compound Japan's situation.
