finally rich comments

in a country you get literally mocked for rushing home to your family after work instead of going to "fuuzoku" and "girls bars" with your coworkers, hypocrite Japan in a nutshell

Even the Global Seed Vault in the arctic is more appealing to the eye than.. this.

US Steel will go bankrupt with a total loss of jobs.

Trump says he will block Nippon Steel takeover of US Steel. This is why we should all be glad Trump won, another 4 years of democrats and the entire country would be owned by foreign governments.

Economists across USA America shake their heads collectively in confusion.

The business of America is…. Business . That’s how you talk and DICTATE to a smaller vendor / partner who has been taking advantage of a prior corporations CEO. New Sheriff in town. Fix the issues Trump has laid out, and you’ll be his BFF. Fail or ignore them, tariffs are coming.

Trump uses humor and threats together to make his points clear. He is an experienced negotiator. The left doesn’t get it. Tariffs are a tool for negotiation. The problem for those he negotiates with is that he is unpredictable and they fear him.

He's not being detained after getting cocaine and MDMA? Don't common people get detained merely for having pot? Seems like a double standard.

I've seen people with eijuuken living for +20 years in Japan getting deported after spending 3 months in jail + slapped with a suspended sentence.

Crime: pot in urine test

If you really value the whole life you built in Japan, you'd stay away from these things like the plague.

You won't receive the death sentence but this will be the end of your life in Japan + you'll run the risk of being turned away at airports at any given moment, 1 pot and you will have a hard time leaving your country for any purpose until you die.

I wonder if Mr. Kaufmann will be blacklisted and banned from Japan forever or if this only applies to us commoners.

It might be time to place a permanent riot squad there on site 24 hours a day as some have suggested. Arrests and incarceration would be the following procedures.

No need. Believe it or not there is kouban right next to this Lawson. What are they doing??

no Japanese or Non-japanese Asian/foreigner will yell back the simple phrases like “I’m Japanese,” or “Idiot, die, go away” to security guards.

This happens pretty much anywhere else in the world, it almost makes you wonder if the Chinese actually memorize cursing words before going visit a country.

"Idiot" "go away" and "die" are all monosyllabic words in mandarin that can be written with a single kanji, they are used everyday in China.

They walk among us. Just drove through Meiji Jingu Gaien this morning and I was very relieved I was the 3rd car passing through after the lights turned green, the first 2 cars were honking viciously, that's when I saw some 5, 7 people all unknown to each other standing in the middle of the road as if its no big deal, not even approaching cars were enough for them to get the hell out of the way, my gingko picture first. They all looked like they come from the same country.

after the officers told Nowland 21 times to put the knife down

what an underpaid profession

A shame given all the personal beauty in these two places and how much they do and spend to cultivate it.

A waste it seems.

I've always loved the contradiction, girls spending hours choosing and using all those products intended for head-to-toe ..... just to go to a cafe completely by themselves, or go out with their girl friends.... walk around Shibuya or Shinsaibashi on a saturday evening, strangely rare to see any young couple holding hands, they're all with their peers.

English = a mind numbing joke here

"Let me impress my pals by shouting any nonsense in english in front of the foreigner"

Not even in the smallest villages of Vietnam people have this kind of mentality.

The Man Who Gave 3 Billion Yen to 4,000 Beautiful Women

4.000 women engaging in fatherless activities.

This is just sad to read as a father, imagine having your own precious daughter treated like cattle.

He said Ishiba was caught in heavy traffic caused by

They should have told him "You're not in your country, this is Pe-ru! iiwake iun janee yo!"

Ishiba would understand as this is a common saying in his home country.

No great loss. Shibuya has more pedestrian crosswalks than it has tourist attractions. Come to think of it, Shibuya's pedestrian crosswalks are its only real tourist attractions.

You're probably just a tourist from another country or prefecture, I'm not a big fan of Shibuya's obnoxious, loud crowds too but that place is another level.

If you're referring to Hachiko area, do you think the place got big for its zebra crossings?

You got those everywhere in Tokyo. Go venture in the alleys and hundreds of multi floor entertainment buildings, there is something for everyone.

Nice pick Mr. President!!

I love that Trump is picking some outsiders rather than the political establishment!..

And please give Dan Bongino a shot at heading the Secret Service.

the high barriers to entry for foreigners in the workplace it’s never just that simple.

the high barriers to entry for people who can't read/write/speak the language it’s never just that simple.

Fixed for ya✓

And yes, it is that simple.

Japan is one of the best countries in the world to change jobs/go full self-employed/freelance.

Simply speaking 2 or 3 languages fluently already gives you almost unlimited access to many companies as Japan is currently focusing on exporting/imbound more than ever.

But from my experience, working in a 100% japanese work environment is not good for your mental health if you happen to come from the West, so better stick to places with at least 2 or 3 foreigners.

Seems you don't like Prius because it is supposedly a "liberal" car. Whatever that means.

Everyone avoid black Prius on the roads, you don't know this because you don't drive

That looks like a 2015 ish Prius

The "liberal" car in the States, in Japan it has a nickname: "Prius Missile"

Seriously, what's wrong with this car? I've never driven one but maybe the acceleration is so fast and smooth the driver doesnt even realize how fast they're going?

has pledged to launch -- on day one of his presidency -- the largest deportation operation of undocumented immigrants in US history

When you pledge this and still win in a country as diverse as the US it only means one thing.

Yes 'folks', it will be Trump Forever from many years to come.

Btw all persons who came across the border illegally committed a crime. Automatically they became criminals. Get the worst out first, but work to remove them all. Remove all incentive for others to illegally invade the US.

This country is truly full of finger pointing hypocrite nosy people.

From all the "crimes", having an extramarital affair.... in a place where you're mocked for refusing to go with your coworkers to one of these hostess bars, fuuzoku, etc.

Just look at this picture, the aura.

Last night I watched a video on Youtube of Trump watching Kamala speech with Matt Gaetz, Susie Wiles and Tulsi Gabbard. One with the richest men on earth with a whole Empire + celebrity Status and the Master of communication, he didn't have to move a finger to secure an extremely comfortable life for himself and several generations to come, but you can feel he craves for power and leadership, Mr. Trump truly wants to be in charge of America and the World. I don't believe we have any person more aspirational as this Man right now.

The whole world is celebrating.

The Army, citizens of all colours, religions, everyone.

It's a completely different vibe from the last years and he's not even in charge yet.

Reason of removal: Offensive / Vulgar LOL

All these people are so weird.

Unfortunately I only have CNN and BBC at home, and there isn't a day I turn on CNN and they're not having someone trashing the left. Did they just changed sides? Or the skies are clearing over there after dumping Lemon and Fredo. Japan Today itself barely reports anything about Trump these days as well.

Dagon, your left-wing friends are the cause of the problem.

There are no left-wing friends. See how they all disbanded after Mr. Trump won?

Sounds like a great team in the making. Elon, Vivek, RFK, Tulsi...even Carlson? Wow.

Yep, Trump has Elon Musk in his corner. Due to the fact that Musk is from South Africa, he should be fully racially aware, therefore I am cautiously optimistic.

Japan-born Jared Taylor would be an excellent pick for the Department of the Interior.

Mark Dice, Tucker Carlson and a few others to counter misinformation. The list is long. MAGA.

I know their plan.

Someone from their clique already saying

"We are ready to fight back"

Fight back what? Who?

Imagine trying attack the pilot of your own plane, unbelievable these people.

The country will be run by Trump, Musk, and their fellow billionaires. The gates of hell have opened.

A man who've seen how the World works for almost a 100 years... you should have know better than all of us combined. Meanwhile, this.

Age ≠ Wisdom

choosing Harris just for being a woman

Plot twist: the 1st female President they wished so hard.... will come from the Trump family :)

Congratulations to the Republicans. It looks like it'll be an interesting next four years. Although I hope we won't have quite so many Trump articles here on JT going forward. Perhaps if they could limit themselves to every third time he opens his mouth, instead of an article every time?

It will be quite the opposite!!!

Remember the first year or so Mr. Trump was away?

All the sudden the media didn't know how to report as the muscle memory kept pushing orange man bad for so many years.

Many outlets should be celebrating tonight.

They will have plenty to report on for the next 4 years.

Just wait until they realize the MAGA came back to stay forever.

Elon? Barron? It will be a complete meltdown for so many years to come!

once again we can tell left wing ideas never works in reality and they only live in their own fantasy.

The left installed unfit people to be in charge of the country, TWICE, without even think about the consequences.

Oh they fought so hard in 2016 to grab the presidency no matter what and what they delivered to America and the World? These people are extremely short sighted.

Never again. 4 years was enough. The democratic party is over.
