Donald Trump emerged as an unprecedented political trickster who shattered the postwar global narrative that had imprisoned Japan politically for seventy years.
With a single statement, the false moralism upheld by the Asahi Shimbun and its allied intellectual class collapsed instantaneously.

This editorial, too, I am convinced, is one of the greatest postwar commentaries—worthy of a Nobel Prize—following works such as The Turntable of Civilization.
Donald Trump was the greatest trickster of the postwar era.
He appeared in the international society of the 21st century as an atomic-class trickster.
He may have happened to read the Nobel Prize–level thesis that I discovered.
What did he do?
He caused the fiction of the postwar international order to collapse in an instant.
That is precisely why he was the greatest trickster of the postwar era, at an atomic scale.
From this single perspective alone, it would not be an exaggeration to call him the greatest statesman of the postwar period.
For seventy years after the war, Japan has been placed in the position of a political prisoner within international society—a fact I was the first to make known to the world.
The United States, either to conceal its own original sins, or out of ignorance of Japan and its culture, or under the dominance of white supremacist ideology—that is, racial discrimination—initiated an occupation policy to conceal its crimes aimed at erasing Japan.
China and South Korea, both totalitarian states, made use of this policy.
The Asahi Shimbun, manipulated by them, further solidified it.
Germany, which wished to fabricate Japan as a nation that committed crimes equivalent to those of the Nazis, also exploited this framework.
Trump destroyed, in an instant, this fiction of international society that had persisted for seventy years after the war.
“Japan should arm itself with nuclear weapons.
It is the country that feels the greatest fear, located near nuclear-armed states such as North Korea and China.”
With this single statement, he shattered the postwar fiction in an instant.
The Asahi Shimbun and the so-called intellectuals who had aligned themselves with it were also destroyed in an instant.
It can be said that this instantly destroyed false moralism and pretended moralism.
It obliterated, in a moment, the reality in which such pseudo-moralism had long been exploited by totalitarian states and by countries that, in truth, cared only about their own profit.
It can even be said that it marked the instantaneous end of the Asahi Shimbun and the so-called intellectuals who had marched in step with it.
