Trump muses about ending Japan defense pact > **[Trump muses privately about ending 'unfair' postwar U.S.-Japan defense pact](https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2019/06/25/national/politics-diplomacy/trump-muses-privately-ending-unfair-postwar-u-s-japan-defense-pact/#.XRJJPCVOmEc)** > > U.S. President Donald Trump has recently mused to confidants about withdrawing from a long-standing defense treaty with Japan that he thinks treats the United States unfairly, according to three people familiar with the matter. Among his issues is that he feels that the US is entitled to some benefit of the development potential of the Okinawa base. > [@](#): > > Abe reached a deal in 2013 with Obama to move the base out of Okinawa as early as 2022 if a replacement could be constructed. But Trump believes the land underneath the base is valuable for development, and has told confidants the real estate could be worth about $10 billion, the people said. Guess the Japanese should follow Trump’s example in the use of eminent domain. Seems they have a better use for the land than the current tenants.

If he signs it, he won’t be able to claim it’s the Democrats’ fault for not providing funding to fix the problem. Oh, there will be some lame excuse, of course, there always is. And I don’t even know how the administration answers the question of why they don’t just use emergency funding powers, like they’re trying with his (non-Mexican-paid) wall - because there is no more press access to the White House. ---

'Cause this isn’t an emergency. A bunch of snot-nosed little furriners who don’t vote? Some of them can’t even talk yet, and the ones who do, prolly don’t speak English.

Well obviously. Since these efforts involve starving kids in cages and inflicting the most cruelty possible on would-be immigrants (legal or otherwise) ; any humanitarian effort would be wholly counterproductive. That’s just sound sociopath logic.
