Relax, he likes her because she’s very right-wing.

Someone else wrote that for Trump. He probably doesn’t even know about this post.

Is someone eventually going to tell him that he doesn’t really need to sign tweets? His name is right there at the top. We know who you are.

Loved visiting Japan, very cool they’ve elected their first female prime minister.

I’m surprised Japan hasn’t already had a woman as prime minister. Lots of other countries have women as leaders. Mexico comes to mind.

Didn’t your SecDef say something about no more firsts, merit only?

The fact that he likes her makes me wonder what kind of person she is.

Sounds like she promised to make Japan great again, which is a terrifying thought.

It’s because she is conservative. That’s the only reason he likes her. I guarantee he doesn’t know anything else about her other than that one single fact.

Im surprised hes so complimentary. I understand shes ultra conservative, but it wont be long until the name calling starts. She’s a no nonsense woman who appears from articles to be extremely confident and headstrong. Seems her only redeeming quality aside from being a confident and successful woman is that shes an avid heavy metal drummer (does not fit the person at all lol). But give it time, she’ll be “ulgy” “stupid” “nasty” and all the other words he uses. He wont be able to call this one fat however; something I’ve always found ironic given hes morbidly obese.

Ugh. We are just reliving the 1920s and 30s again aren’t we…with everyone having forgotten what happens when you elect right-wing hardliners. Guess WWIII is right around the corner!

Yeah, Trump does something Redditors don’t like – they call him a literal Nazi. What’s the difference?

Quick – someone ask him what her name is. I’ll bet $$$ he doesn’t know

The only reason he likes the fact that Takaichi Sanae won is because she’s known for being a right-winger and a nationalist with warhawk tendencies. She’s also a historical revisionist with regard to Japan’s actions in WWII. My personal opinion is that there’s nothing good about her winning.
I watch Japanese news shows daily, so I’m familiar with her and was rather hoping she’d lose, but there’s a bit of a Japan First thing going on in Japan right now and a fair amount of anti-immigrant sentiment. Just in case people aren’t familiar with the LDP, which Takaichi is a member of, the party isn’t liberal even though their name is the Liberal Democratic Party. They’re mostly conservative and have been in power in Japan for a very long time. Their recent loss of seats was kind of the last straw (amongst a number of other issues) that forced PM Ishiba out.

This feels like it could be testing the waters for Ivanka.
