Incoherent babbling brook of bullshit is what he is.

"Let me start off with general statement -- almost all countries in this world take tremendous advantage," of the US, Trump told Fox Business by phone, repeating a common refrain of his 2016 campaign.

The US has an unfortunate, persistent history of taking advantage of other countries, for economic or political reasons and then defending that taking as a "national security interest".

"If Japan is attacked, we will fight World War Three ... with our lives and with our treasure," he said, adding, "If we're attacked, Japan doesn't have to help us at all," Trump said. Japan, he claimed, "can watch it on the Sony television, okay, the attack."

Our? Ours? Who's he kidding? Are you including you or yours there? Yeah, good one you ugly, orange menace. It will always be others' lives and treasure, never yours.

A gully-washer of guile, and the only thing certain is that he's eroding everything downstream as he goes.

That it was the US which imposed those rules on Japan. We protect Japan because of its strategic importance to the US. But Trump has no understanding of strategy.
