* a brief comment:
In the lyrics of a rather old song by Kiyoko Suizenji, there is a line that says, 'Don’t fuss about who won or lost. For Trump, the win or loss of each individual deal is important, and unless insisting on his ego would backfire, he will push it through. This can be seen as the exact opposite of many Japanese values. Because he is a powerful figure, Japanese politicians respect Trump’s ego and handle him as if they are dealing with something delicate. While this approach might be better for self-preservation, it lowers their character and diminishes not only their own but also Japan’s prestige. Does Prime Minister Ishiba believe that many Japanese people will understand and sympathize with his struggles?
