What Asia Should Learn From Trump’s Rise
The Globalist ^ | March 17, 2016 | Shihoko Goto

They are getting scared! Who knew they had their own news site? =============------============--------============= The greatest geopolitical risk in the world today is the possibility of a Trump administration.

From building a wall along the Mexican border to barring Muslims entry into the United States and demanding more money for U.S. military operations from foreign governments, his proposals would lead to an about-face in Washington’s relations with the world.

Yet it would be folly to dismiss Donald Trump’s ire against the international community as off-the-cuff alarmist rantings. His message has resonated so widely across the United States.

What’s more, fear about the risks of international trade, globalization and an increasingly stratified society are not unique to the United States. Thus, the Trump phenomenon could easily go global.

So it’s going to be a global revolution because the globalists have been caught.

They want to throw the peasants cake to keep them satiated.

“What Asia Should Learn From Trump’s Rise”

China learned that WALLS PROTECT PEOPLE...so why should Asia have a problem with that now?

“From building a wall along the Mexican border to barring Muslims entry into the United States and demanding more money for U.S. military operations from foreign governments, his proposals would lead to an about-face in Washington’s relations with the world.”

Without a wall along the border with Mexico, we will no longer have a nation.

Barring possible Islamic terrorists is logical.

Demanding other nations finance their own defence is grown up.

This “Globalist” sounds like a Marxist proposing we be stupid.

LOL. Asians are some of the most xenophobic people on the face of the planet. And they’re scared that Trump wants to close the US borders? Even if Trump got every single thing he wanted, US immigration policy still would be 100 times more liberal than Japanese immigration policy. Do these people think before they write these articles?

What Japan’s politicians might learn from Trump is how to talk simply and with specifics.

Even by crude American standards, Trump is a stand-out. If he’s a bull in a china-shop in the US, in Japan he is Godzilla crushing homes beneath foot and swatting whole buildings aside.

In Japan, it’s very normal to listen to politicians carrying on and on and ON without making any commitments, or even being comprehensible.

The Kabuki there is very much more elaborate than in the US and the real center of power is in the unelected bureaucracies, which have almost no face on TV.

I find the idea of rampant individualism and using the explicit in conversation rather than the implied suddenly breaking out in Japan a little (a LOT?) far-fetched.

China yes, Japan never.
