Ishiba says Trump isn’t as frightening in person as on TV

Oh yes, trump's frightening policies are quite sincere.

That's because he graciously waits until the next day before declaring Okinawa the 51st state.

The only frightening thing about Trump is his continued insistence on looking like a deranged oompa-loompa. Hard to take someone seriously when they're stained orange and signing off on executive orders to ban paper straws.

He using it too grovel up to Trump

Ishiba in full brown nose mode.

Ishiba also said he wasn’t using their White House meeting to “suck up” to the U.S. president.

The lack of vocabulary and language expression is astonishing. Americans need to learn their own language better.

"On TV" through the MSM's "Nazi" lense

I don't think anybody who have leaders that maintains a deflationary monetary policy should be pointing fingers at Trump, just my opinion.

"Americans need to learn their own language better."

We are in complete agreement here; when did 'suck up' enter the general lexicon?

We are in complete agreement here; when did 'suck up' enter the general lexicon?

Fifty years or so ago, along with its variation, "kiss up". Have you been in a coma?

(Although, multiple sources site usage as far back as the mid 19th century.)

Japanese Prime Minister said Friday he was excited to meet a television celebrity like U.S. President Donald Trump.

"Television celebrity" pretty much describes his qualifications to be president.

Maybe Ishiba's English isn't that hot, or the interpreter used the wrong word, but "frightening" isn't a word you'd use about Trump, unless you mean the orange makeup.

"Risible", "borderline insane", and "spends most of the time off in cloud cuckoo land" are more apt.

The proof is in the pudding. Trump is very frightening indeed.

The proof is in the pudding. Trump is very frightening indeed.

He is only frightening to those who are afraid of being exposed, meaning the legacy media.

Not many Americans feel the same way they felt in 2020. America has moved on,

maybe the posters on JT should do the same.

Oh wow! We're really frightened of Trump (sarcasm). If you really want to know what kind of person Trump is, go to the Micheal Cohen videos on YouTube. He worked for him before and during Trump's first term. That will tell you. And don't just take his word for it. There are others who also worked with and for him with similar stories.

They probably should start by not fleeing to the PRC to live out their days in hiding.

Also to help further a commentator's education:

Rational people in Japan and Asia understand that this US administration, same as the previous ones, based on arrogance and warmongering, is not to be trusted.

A new world order based on stability and prosperity will be lead by China. Enough with the hypocrisy and double standards of America

Ishi San, did you get an autograph front The biggest clown of the world??..

*from

LOL

The irony of this sequence of sentences is astounding.

Pretty good. He's handed Trump a PR victory while giving him absolutely nothing. Well played sir.

"Ishiba says Trump isn’t as frightening in person as on TV" hmm

The Japanese definition of ‘sincere’ may be a little different from many

Ishiba also said he wasn’t using their White House meeting to “suck up” to the U.S. president.

If he had to mention that, then this is exactly what he did.

By the time he gets back home, he will have changed his mind.

Enough for personal protocols. We want to know if Ishiba took issue with the unfairness of the SACO implementation and the excessive U.S. military presence in Japan during his meeting with Trump.

excessive U.S. military presence in Japan

perhaps a cursory glance at a map and a reminder who Japan’s enemies are might be suggested here

No tariffs and minority stake (49%?) in US Steel. Ishiba played it well knowing all is good for those who kiss the ring.

 more then

What does "more then" mean?

Well, what's so frightening about a wannabe "Fuehrer" who happens to be an unprincipled coward and an unlettered moron (as noted by many of his former cabinet appointees)? Ishiba's assessment of 45/7's character is right on the money and an indictment of the complicit US MSM that twice kissed his ring and gave him a pass enabling him to evade justice.

I want to see the color of Ishiba's tongue.

“On television, he is frightening, but he was actually very sincere,” the prime minister said.

This is your takeaway from the meeting........riveting, Ish.

Ishiba also said he wasn’t using their White House meeting to “suck up” to the U.S. president.

Then why even mention it?

Ishiba added that many in Japan were also excited about his return to the White House.

What? Where?

Ishiba was asked during their joint news conference about Japan potentially imposing tariffs on U.S. goods, since Trump didn’t rule out doing similar to Japan.

The prime minister, grinning, said his official answer was no.

Trump laughed and said he liked that answer.

Ishiba.........you're an idiot

He probably doesn't even know what tariffs are.

Ishiba is going to get taken by this aggressive Trump. He looks like putty next to Trump.

If there's a critical situation, Mr. Ichiba could just use Donald's dementia. An aide could bring a fly into the meeting room, and Donnie is distracted for hours.

On television, he is frightening, but he was actually very sincere,” the prime minister said.

Careful PM Ishiba, you are going to trigger the JT crowd into a sky screaming meltdown with comments like that! Heaven forbids! Hehe

I think you're confusing President Trump with the previous occupier of the Oval Office.

Wrong, bub.

'Very aggressive sucker’: Trump gets distracted by fly during campaign rally – then compares it to himself

It marks the second time in a just over week that Trump has become frustrated with a fly while on stage at a campaign rally
