It’s been a horrible week for Donald Trump. The dude is just getting Ls thrown in his face like a porn star gets cum thrown in hers. It seems like everytime he opens his mouth, either something he says comes out wrong or something he said the day before makes headlines again. Some of it is obviously being blown out proportion and some of it also is because Trump’s not a politician, hence his affinity to just speak his mind without thinking of the potential media fallout. Which is refreshing like once in a blue moon but normally is pretty much just like watching your racist grandfather tell his opinions about racial divides to a roomful of Spanish men. Today’s example of this comes from a Trump rally in Iowa where he insulted the Japanese.
Via Daily Mail:
Donald Trump announced Friday that he would ‘walk’ from Japan and other US allies if they don’t commit to defending America and pay their ‘fair share’ of NATO fees.
‘You know we have a treaty with Japan, where if Japan is attacked, we have to use the full force and might of the United States,’ Trump said to a crowd in Iowa. If we’re attacked, Japan doesn’t have to do anything. They can sit home and watch Sony television, OK?’
The slam came during a speech in which Trump complained about countries under US protection, such as Japan and South Korea, and others that he said do not make large enough financial contributions to NATO. The presidential hopeful said that the United States protects Japan, South Korea, Germany, Saudi Arabia and other nations, but ‘they don’t pay anything near what it costs.’
‘They have to pay. Because this isn’t 40 years ago,’ he added. ‘It’s got to be a two-way street.'”
And while they’re on their TVs, they’re probably also watching anime porn on their Nintendo DS!!” I actually kind of agree with Trump here. Japan would be about as useful in a way war as a pee shooter would be during a bank robbery. However, you don’t need to get all racist about it. The Sony TV comments did nothing to add to his argument. All it did was undermine his previous statement by showing off his slightly racist side. “I think the American education system should be rebuilt from the ground up to allow students more internship opportunities during high school which in turn would allow them to begin to decide what they want to study in college. Also, I hate black people.” What I just did there is pretty much exactly what Trump did. I feel like this is the major problem with his campaign. For every good idea he has, he hits us with some caveat that just does not belong in the mouth of the leader of the free world. Even if everyone else agrees with it, it’s not something people should be saying out loud. It’s kind of like when a guy tells a roomful of people that his wife’s feet taste weird. All feet probably taste weird, but you shouldn’t be telling people about it.
