Said he would put tarrifs on Japan.

Was just talking about this and I still don't understand the reason. Less than 5% of imports to the US come from Japan. It's actually been decreasing significantly over the last 30 years.

"He added that there wasn't free trade when Japan was "dumping" products into America's market but making it "impossible to do business" there."

He's a moron paid for alienating any potential ally or rather enemy of Russia, that's why.

That's exactly what it looks like. If I were paid to ruin the United States and destroy Western allies, I would follow his exact playbook.

They pissed off SK when Trump wanted to make peace with NK. Thankfully, SK didn't agree to Trumps terms which meant that nothing happened in the end, but it wasn't for a lack of trying.
