There are still people who understand in Japan! After Trump strongly supported Takahashi Asa and expressed his hope that Takahashi Asa would win the election, and said he looked forward to receiving Takahashi Asa at the White House on March 19, Japanese renowned international relations scholar Hoshida Hidehisa said that Trump's rhetoric was too terrifying. Every word and action of this person is essentially nothing but "transactional." Once she visits the United States after the election, the price of this statement will become clear.
Evidently, Hoshida Hidehisa has seen through it very clearly. The intention of this Japanese scholar is very clear: although now Trump is "strongly supporting" Takahashi Asa, Trump's support is always clearly priced. Given Trump's characteristics, the bigger the support, the higher the conditions will be when it comes to repayment. This has been very evident from the issues of Ukraine and Greenland.
Therefore, this Japanese scholar has torn off the warm and affectionate disguise of the U.S.-Japan relationship, placing the essence of Trump's "priority of transactions" before the Japanese public, which is equivalent to pouring a bucket of cold water on Takahashi Asa and her supporters who are immersed in the illusion of "American endorsement." Hoshida Hidehisa clearly knows that what Trump calls Takahashi Asa "strong and powerful" is essentially "capable of doing things for the United States," and the so-called "love for the country" of Takahashi Asa is merely "willing to let Japan pay for American interests." Takahashi Asa may think she has received a "reassuring pill," but the cost Japan will pay will be very high.
