Another fucking sick, lying, treasonous tweet from Trump on the golf course in Japan

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump

Great fun and meeting with Prime Minister @AbeShinzo. Numerous Japanese officials told me that the Democrats would rather see the United States fail than see me or the Republican Party succeed - Death Wish!

the many Japanese people I know, one a research psychiatrist renting a room here, but I think there is a hesitation about publicly discussing, maybe especially with foreigners, controversial subjects. Our last tenant, a virologist born in Hiroshima, when asked about the bombing of the city, well, he didn’t know we had used the atomic bomb there.
Took about three years and then a polite conversation that went along the both sides path with
lots of upbeat let’s all get along and how great to be learning so much as a scientist in America.
So I think I will stop putting people on the spot.
Daily Beast is probably right about Abe.

the way North Korea did, he'll invent attacks on Dems that Japanese officials supposedly said.

Of course the Japanese government isn't likely to contradict him with an official statement, especially during a visit, so he'll claim the lack of any pushback on what he said in that tweet proves what he said.

What the officials actually said (in Japanese) was “This guy is even dumber than he appears to be on Twitter. No wonder he’s Putin’s stooge. He looks like hell, plus he cheats at golf.”

It also occurred to me that Trump isn't as repulsive to the Japanese as he is to us because they're the home of anime cartoons and every town has a weird mascot. Trump's the ultimate cartoon figure/mascot.

And there are plenty of those, but I also found this gem:

Republicans Criticize Obama for Talking to Putin (2015)

Before sitting down with Putin, Obama was also being criticized by key GOP leaders, who accused him of playing into the Kremlin’s hands.

Senator Marco Rubio told NPR news early Monday morning that if he was president, “I’m not sure we would meet with [Putin]” or Iranian leaders. Rubio, a presidential candidate and Republican establishment favorite, received praise for his performance in the second GOP presidential debate, during which he said that the United States needed to take a tougher approach to Russia. Obama and Putin have not met since 2014, when Russia escalated its involvement in Ukraine by supplying weapons to pro-Russian separatist forces.

The perception that Obama has rolled out the red carpet for Putin is a key part of Republican candidates’ complaints about current U.S. foreign policy, as Jeb Bush noted on Twitter: Obama allows Russia & Iran more influence in Syria & Iraq. Not good for US, Israel, or our moderate Muslim partners
