Discussion: Trump To Japanese Auto Firms: 'Try Building Your Cars In The U.S.'

My Honda CRV was made in the Japanese Prefecture of Marysville Ohio.

You know Abe looks at DOTUS and thinks, “What a schmuck!”

So the genius negotiator simply asks the Japanese to locate more auto plants here. Just like that. It’s the macroeconomic equivalent of being a demented old man in a nursing home who all the aides know to watch out for or he’ll try to grab a feel. Genius negotiator. Author of “The Art of the Deal.” SMH.

Well, that at least gives confidence he could perform a certain operation with a boot.

Wonder how long it took Donnie’s advisors to school him to pronounce “Abe” correctly…?

I suppose we have to be content with his not throwing the box in too.

I think it’s wise to celebrate the small achievements with this one, because there aren’t going to be large ones.

Curiously, some commenters have observed that his pants fly seems to extend from his waist band all the way to his crotch. Is he wearing depends?

Only if the instructions were given (in pictograms) on the heel of said boot.

Japan should reply: Sure right after you and your daughter start making your crap in America!

President Donald Trump’s close relationship with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe didn’t keep him from publicly vocalizing his concerns with the country’s trade and manufacturing policies during the first leg of his 12-day visit to Asia.

Here, “vocalizing” means “displaying” and “concerns with” means “vast ignorance of”.

Japanese auto manufacturers have been building vehicles in the United States since the mid fricking eighties. That’s far enough back that whatever mental disorder is currently preventing Trump from absorbing any new information surely hadn’t fully set in yet.

His gum flapping is completely unconstrained by even the slightest mote of fact or truth.

When I see headlines such as CNN’s (Trump asks Japan to build cars in the US - it already does.)…

I am so overwhelmed with feelings of shame and humiliation that I no longer can go ahead and read the full article. I just can’t overcome the waves of queasiness in my stomach and the black cloud of depression and fear that’s try to conquer me.

Somebody, SOMEBODY has got to remove this humongous mistake at least from the full view of the entire world.

We will never regain our former respect in the world as we had before this dirty little (huge) secret got paraded on the world stage. Why couldn’t someone, somehow, have hidden the worst of it from the whole world?

It seems there was a helluva lot about Reagan and Kennedy, in my time when I was “somewhat” paying attention, that was kept as secret as possible. But every time this idiot farts, it’s blasted round the world! Surely something better than this could be done to preserve maybe the smallest shred of pride we citizens might hold onto till better times come, if they ever do.

(And I would categorize his question to the Japanese dignitary as a FART.)

He’s a busy man who believes in total efficiency.

I don’t think it’s rude to ask the Japanese to do something they’ve been doing since 1982.

Just moronic.

Possibly. Might be an attempt to suggest an unusual, uh, hand size. Nothing is impossible.
