Donald Trump Mocks Japanese Reporter: 'I Really Don't Understand You'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

President Donald Trump is under fire for his reaction to a Japanese reporter’s question.

The reporter, who had an accent, began asking Trump a question regarding the economy at a press conference at the White House on Wednesday following the midterm elections.

The president interjected, asking, “Where are you from, please?”

When the reporter responded with “Japan,” Trump told him to “say hello to Shinzo,” referencing the country’s prime minister, Shinzo Abe.

“I’m sure he’s happy about tariffs on his cars,” Trump said.

When the reporter attempted to finish his question about trade, the president responded, saying, “I really don’t understand you.”
Trump eventually answered, claiming Japan has treated the U.S. “very unfairly” when it comes to the auto trade.

The president’s handling of the question prompted criticism from many who viewed Trump’s reactions to the reporter as racist or condescending.

1. leaves me in conflict

Would it be better to boycott Crybaby Donnie and have him melt down, or would it be better for more reporters to ask questions, rapid, complex, accented questions and have him explode on camera?

5. I'd rather watch the Press Corps asking the really tough questions

and not let up on Doturd, to the point where he just absolutely loses it in public and goes completely ballistic. He's been relatively successful in hiding his temperament until just recently, but now the cracks are beginning to appear. I just want him to show the world what a mean, miserable bastard he really is, and he's getting close.

I say keep pushing him. A walkout lets him off easy.

Do we really have to put up with two more years of this shit? Because I think I'm going to shoot myself.

4. He did it to Nadia Bilbassy-Charters ad well.

He said “I can’t understand you,” and then I heard him mutter “blah blah blah” Nader his breath while she talked.
