Democratic Party Secretary-General Yoshihiko Noda, referring to a tweet by U.S. President Donald Trump, written earlier in this month, before he was even inaugurated, in which he threatened to levy high taxes on cars made by Toyota Motor Corp for the U.S. market unless the auto manufacturer backed down from its plans to build a new factory in Mexico.

Aren't you missing the point? How on earth could he be outraged at the word count? The message was probably quite clear

I'd pay money to see Shinzo Botchan being firm with Trump.

It's called "straight talk" Noda. Of course you don't get a lot of that in this country---not to one's face, at least----but direct, clear speech is a good thing not a bad thing.

That's good.
Saved US and Japanese tax payers thousands of dollars.

Good idea, Noda! Trump is doing this with Japan so far only promising to kiss his butt -- imagine what he'll do when you are "firm". I've never in my life seen Japan panic like it is now.

Why is this muppet even still around? He cost his party the election. shouldn't he retire and be in an amakudari job where he can do less damage to progressive politics??
