I'd be mad too after the fake Russian Collusion conspiracy, the Clinton funded dossier, Stormy's lawyer and all the airtime they can get by the media instead of real news items that matter to everyday people.

Posted in: U.S.-Japan trade deal hits snag as Tokyo seeks assurances on car tariffs See in context
YuriOtani's attitude is proof that a trade deal with Japan is meaningless given consumer prejudice toward anything not made in Japan. Just tax the cars and give it to the farmers and move on to a deal with China.

Posted in: Trump announces U.S.-China trade truce; talks to resume See in context
That simpleton is rewriting an destructive trade deal with a country that has had the most predatory trade practices short of the British Empire. That no one here is aware of that or how it has resulted in deflation for Japan is beyond me.

@Zichi - I see so they own this in perpetuity no matter how much it actually emasculates Japan?
Japan needs to become a country on a par with China and should be able to project its power and leadership unfettered by the US.

@Zichi - Abe showed him how to do that. CNN only showed Trump do it for whatever reason!
"So he'll bow and seat on the floor or will they provide a chair. Hope he can show more dignity than on the last visit when he feeding koii with Abe, just tip the whole feed box upside down."

There are worse things than tobacco - take a look at pharma and they can advertise sell online, etc. Your outrage is completely misplaced and laughable.

Actually believe Japan will get a free pass to export away to both the US and China as the two go after each others throats.

Funny how no one else getting illegal Mexicans is a complete given but anyone in America who feels the same way is a bigot.

I think that his comments may just be the tip of the iceberg to an inherent aversion to foreigners and things directly foreign much less divorcees. Hence successful foreign brands usually have a Japan-only limited edition to play to the Japanese ethos of exclusivity and exceptionalism.

The title is written to make her seem petty and like they deserved it for allowing him to go there despite the warnings not to. N Korea is a despotic regime that commits human rights violations that the posters of this site would have a roman holiday over if the US or Japan did anything remotely close.
