Social media users mercilessly mocked President Donald Trump over the weekend after a Fox News interview in which he referred to Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba as “Mr. Japan.”

“But I’d rather just send them a letter, a very fair letter, saying, congratulations, whether it will allow you to trade in the United States of America,” Trump told Bartiromo, per RawStory. “You’re going to pay a 25% tariff, or 20% or 40% or 50%. I would rather do that.”
He doesn’t understand tariffs, which we already knew, but he keeps proving it. His supporters are dumbass idiots.
Notice how nobody’s taking about how it’s Americans paying the tarrif though, not Japan?
Helaas, pindakaas.
You fucking leave Peanut Butter out of this!
it’s the only thing I have left
He is the embodiment of the fat stupid American stereotype. I truly feel sorry for the decent, intelligent people that live in the USA.
I’m offended! I am not “decent” at all!
Thank you.
The biggest takeaway for me with all this … whenever there is another level of stupidity in American government or the president … is not good dumb he looks … but instead about how the entire country just passively accepts it. How the media just rolls over it like it’s normal now.
This country is fucked
If your “media” is owned by a large corporation or billionaire it’s not media but propaganda.
The media is explicitly complicit in the rise of authoritarianism. I’d highly recommend the book “manufacturing consent”, it should be required reading for all Americans at this point.
The privately controlled media that manipulated the image of this presidency, downplayed / ignored its failings, exaggerated the contempt for opponents and generally just passively accepted all this insanity as normal is not just complicit but an active participant in the rise and installation of authoritarianism in the US.
It’s not an independent media any more … it’s a direct arm of corporate America … the same corporate America that wants to usher in authoritarianism
Right? The press would never have let Biden or Obama forget that gaffe.
Oh, my god… Fox News has to keep switching the caption to translate “Weave” into English.
I say shit like that to be funny, but now I feel gross about it.
He still talks about tariffs as if the company in the non U.S. country pays them.
Maybe before rolling out these tariffs, he should understand how the damned things actually work.
He knows and just doesn’t care. It’s about bullying other countries to make “better trade deals”.
at least he didn’t call him “Mr. Roboto”. still embarrassing as fuck though.
What a dumb piece of shit
“Peanut butter TACO time”
More like garbage
Sir, Tim Apple on line 2
