I asked Japanese people about Donald Trump. I also asked them about the Japan--US security treaty because it would directly affect Japan if Trump was elected.

[@boofy2592]

why are these people better informed than most americans

[@NoyumiAo]

what do you expect

[@janel2930]

i didnt think so, i think any average citizen from any country would not have all the facts and have a limited perspective.

[@t.h.8400]

I think most of the worlds' people are better informed than Americans :-D

[@Matisaha]

because instead of thinking people instantly decide he's hitler or he's a saint. There are negatives and positives both but when people just go with the flow and assume things like they are and assume that the media is 100% correct... you become ignorant.

[@KajiRider1997]

Its because America's campaigns are based on slander and drama mixed in with a few half-hearted promises. Its easy to pick sides and loose sight of what's really going on here. Meanwhile foreign people look in and see the bigger picture. Man bernie should have gone on.

[@miyashita291]

Ok everything has been told but one thing: that first guy is hot af. thank you.

[@nikkib4380]

lol I thought the same thing!

[@skeetorkiftwon]

Yuta? or the first interview?

[@jiminism1617]

He's literally the reason I clicked on the video. He's beautiful

[@goosequillian]

Ugh, even in non sex related discussions, all women think about is sex. Cringeworthy.

[@skeetorkiftwon]

[@SinHurr]

"his daughters are very beautiful" He sure seems to think so, too.

[@lunarusdust7227]

lmaooo

[@rockshot100]

Urban legend has it that Trump wants to have sex with his daughters. Sorry I don't believe that one. I don't buy that.

[@SinHurr]

rockshot100 It's not so much "urban legend" as "he's on video saying really awkward things about his daughter," such as, "if she weren't my daughter I'd marry her."

[@rockshot100]

Kyle Christiansen I agree that sounds weird. But if he were really like that would he announce it to the world? I believe that he meant to say that he was proud of her, and that is it.

[@rockshot100]

Kyle Christiansen Yes that is the way I see the weird comment. The media hates him because he won't let them control him. The media has the ultimate say so but he doesn't care. Might be a bad idea not to obey them after all.

[@stevendunn2501]

Excellent video! It was amazing how most of the Japanese people you interviewed, before they commented, considered things from a different perspective.

[@ThatJapaneseManYuta]

Being considerate is very important in Japan.

[@stevendunn2501]

As an American who enjoys the privilege of living in Japan, I can attest to the amounts of consideration Japanese people often extend to others :o)

[@alexanderwestphal9777]

+Steven Dunn damn nihonjins and their thought capability

[@l34CoNCreepy]

consideration for others is a big part of the culture I think it's cool too

[@kpak76]

Sounds to me those people were spitting up what the Japanese media is saying about Trump. To the gal at the end who had an opinion about the US building a wall along it's Mexican border. Why do you care? You're in Japan, why do you care about what America does with Mexico?

[@ThatJapaneseManYuta]

You are the wittiest person who commented on the smiley face. Thumbs up.

[@Echoparticle]

The woman who said that building a wall along the Mexican border is 'extreme' lives in an island nation with an 'extremely' strict immigration policy. Reap the benefits but chide the methods.

[@ThatJapaneseManYuta]

Are you assuming that she supports the non-immigration policy for low-skilled workers without really knowing her?

[@isabelleismysoulmate7847]

+That Japanese Man Yuta ^^^^^

[@shounenbat510]

I agree with Yuta. You can't just assume to know that the woman is hypocritical because of what her own government does. She may or may not agree with Japan's immigration policy. I mean, how many Americans actually agree with what Washington does? Not many, hence The Tea Party, Occupy Wall-Street, and the various other 'movements' that have come and gone. And, yes, Japan has also held protests.

[@ThatJapaneseManYuta]

But I'm not assuming the OP is assuming that she doesn't support it. That's why I asked the question. Also, the current government is planning to accept much more low-skilled workers, so that seems to be the direction we are headed.

[@troutunderscore3]

The funny thing is, the low wage Mexican workers are over all a good thing for the American economy

[@jacobrigobertoordenes-kols451]

They are all so polite, as opposed to us western people.

[@happymasksalesman9225]

[@joelandrew7330]

So if Western people were also interviewed, you think they would be rude?

[@jacobrigobertoordenes-kols451]

Yeah. I mean, have you even listened to people who vote being interviewed in the United States? They are pretty rude against some religions and such.

[@Rivershield]

Don't be fooled by their politeness. Japanese people don't usually say what they really think, they say what is convenient.

[@mrapple3702]

And their suicide rate is through the roof. Maybe they wouldn't be killing themselves left and right if they backed off the outward politeness and instead said what they really felt.

[@bonkiru9818]

wow the comment is staggeringly full of triggered people. newsflash : it's their opinion, live on.

[@AbsentWithoutLeaving]

What is 'triggered?'

[@AbsentWithoutLeaving]

LOL, so just another internet insult to set people off. I get it. Sort of like telling someone to 'calm down.' Yeah, that works, haha.

[@Niffie]

Comment section has always been that way.

[@joshweezorak3343]

Hi big trump fan here. You see if wee had criticism like this, he wouldn't have to be so aggressive in the first place. Most of the time the only real argument people make is "He's racist!!" while they continue to loose there shit. Like hell you lose an argument when you start acting like a psycho. Hell roommate was like that the other day and he expected me to take him serious. all that being said none of them weren't being little babies about it. like even the girl who did compared him to Hitler was still pretty tame and was voicing her opinion in a respectful manner. just had to have my input on this, great video.

[@ThatJapaneseManYuta]

I enjoy talking to people who have different views. The problem is that when it comes to politics, a lot of people just start insulting people who don't support who they support. It would be more meaningful if we went through our differences calmly and intelligently so that we can learn about each other and why people support who we support.

[@todo1777]

+That Japanese Man Yuta Please do a video like this on Hillary Clinton. I am not religious but I pray she does not win. The USA will absolutely crumble. Watch the Clinton chronicles or The Clinton files here on KZbin.

[@xenoblad]

+to do I don't care much for Clinton, but people have said the same thing for Obama for pretty much all 8 years and nothing all that apocalyptic has occured. I'd figure she would just be more of the same that we've had under Obama.

[@xenoblad]

I wouldn't call Trump racist, but it seems rather baity to generalize the way he did. It seems more opportunistic then racist IMO, because it ensures that people who are racist will vote for him. He also seem to prepose some pretty ridiculous plans, such as trying to deport 11 million people without invoking martial law(which is the only way to do it, since courts will take too long). A wall to cover the entire southern would cost trillions and would be bigger then the great wall of china by a long shot. On top of that, promising to get Mexico to pay for it seems impossible without using the military or starting trade sanctions. I really don't like Hillary because of how she worked with the DNC to rig the nomination, but Trump just seems like he's lying to win votes. Not that that makes him any worse then Hillary. In fact, they're more simmilar then people think.

[@xenoblad]

+xenoblad kind of wish I could edit on mobile :p

[@bigeg228]

You want the shit milkshake or the vomit sandwich? I want neither. I'll take a nice glass of water. Fuck them both.

[@teraphIl1000]

[@zombitshe]

He looks like a korean guy tbh

[@Damn_Weebs]

+Zombitche There are plenty of half Japanese half Koreans in Japan, so I wouldn't be surprised if he is of Korean descent

[@ThePlatineist]

Yeaaah, you're so right.

[@aznperson2011]

A pet peeve of mine is when people automatically assume a good looking Asian is Korean. The average Korean citizen =/= the average Korean celebrity. And no, he doesn't look Korean, he has features typical of a Japanese person. The average Korean has smaller eyes and a more box shaped face.

[@ThePlatineist]

Matthew L. I get it, everyone's unique. But the reason I said he looked Korean, wasn't because I couldn't tell the difference. It's because he reminded me a little bit of this guy: 0.viki.io/videos/1096955v/1096955v_1602160547_7.jpg?x=b

[@ThatJapaneseManYuta]

I'm uploading the Hillary version today!

[@lisakn27]

Tell them what she has done, such as ..she is a common criminal and rakes in millions off the backs of 3rd world countries like Haiti. Trump is the only answer..for everyone.

[@4390100]

Liked the video with just some caveats, I think you should upload a video of what people in Japan think of Obama, then people can see how much Japanese people are out of touch with American politics in General. The basic news I see in Japan concerning Hillary Clinton most especially sounds almost as if they get their scripts from CNN in America, even most of the news on Trump in Japan sounds like it's straight from CNN. However in the videos above it was mostly young Japanese and young Japanese get most of their news from the Internet, so my only complaint of this video is it was almost entirely younger Japanese being interviewed, the picture would change were these older Japanese in my humble opinion. However, I was surprised that it wasn't more harsh on Trump, as Trump has made ignorant statements concerning Japan and it's support of US Troops and facilities in Japan. Trump basically is ill informed in the area of Japan's support financially, as Japan already picks up 40% or more of the cost in Japan of the US forces, more so than any other Nation on the planet, and in just my humble opinion is one of the US of A's strongest supporters and it should be vice a versa, although at times I doubt it. Other than the fact that the people being question in the video were all younger generation Japanese, that really is my only slight complaint of this video, very well done indeed. Awaiting the Hillary version with anticipation.

[@Pac457]

i'll be waiting for it!

[@senam23]

+Kacey I hope he doesn't listen to you, on that. Why would he do that, anyways? Did he tell those people what Trump did? (double standards, anyone?)

[@deancuban894]

"I don't like him because he's pro war" was against the Vietnam war and invasion of Iraq, but you know who voted for the Iraq war, Hillary. Also great video Yuta 👍👍👍

[@ThatJapaneseManYuta]

Trump actually seems to be against military interventions. At least that's what he said in one of his speeches. I'm in favour of that particular policy.

[@TristanPaton313233]

2 things, TRUMP DONATED 100,000 DOLLARS TO CLINTON CAMPAIGN AND 2 PENCE WAS ALSO IN SUPPORT OF IRAQ. How is it ok that pence voted for Iraq but bad that Hillary did. because she's a woman? why??!

[@deancuban894]

Tristan Paton​ Because we're talking about the presidental canidate's not their shitty VP picks. Both Clinton and Trump just used them to gain votes, Trump had a hard time with the hard right so he brought in Pence to unify the party. And Kaine isn't even a Democrat yet he's there because Clinton is doing terrible with Males, specifically white, the guy is more right centered if you see what his views are. Because she's a woman.... Ha we gotta feminazis here oh boy. No it's not because she's a woman you simpleton it's because she actually did vote for that. You sound desperate as fuck to defend that criminal. Bring up the Clinton foundation for absolutly no reason just to try and shit on Trump is pathetic

[@TristanPaton313233]

+#Never Hillary You want an argument against donald, sure He's already advocated spreading nuclear weapons to more countries, murdering civilians and committing war crimes, punishing any woman who gets an abortion, toss out the Geneva convention and torture people, withdraw from NATO, and ban an entire religion from the country, and create a database of muslims. He said he would deport US citizens and thinks global warming is a hoax created by the chinese, thinks the US should default on its debt, defends the interment of Japanese Americans in WW2. He thinks Obama is a muslim and accused him of not being american and accused him of being an ISIS sympathizer, insulted war heros because they got captured, racially insulted a sitting Senator. He bragged about his dick size in a GOP debate and has suggested he might quit if he's actually elected. He consistently thinks women are only valuable for how they look, with at least a dozen high-profile misogynistic comments. He's called nuking the middle east a plausible option. He has a suspicious number of ties to Putin, and has a history of business deals with organized crime. He's called mexicans rapists and criminals, been successfully sued multiple times for racist rental practices, and said he wants no blacks only jews counting his money. He semi-threatened the pope, mocked disabled people in front of a crowd of thousands, outright threatened violence towards the media and protesters, made sexual comments about his daughters MULTIPLE TIMES, praised Kim Jong Un and Putin and Saddam Hussein, praised the Tianenmen Square massacre. He's flirted with white supremacy - retweeting them, reposting their images with anti-semitic symbols, playing coy about David Duke's endorsement. He's a verified lunatic conspiracy theorist - he thinks the Clintons murdered one of their aides, Obama is a sleeper agent and Ted Cruz's dad helped kill JFK. He could get caught diddling kids and funding ISIS himself and you and his supporters would eat it up.

He suggested that his supporters might assassinate Hillary, he scammed millions from people with Trump university, he made fun of the disabled, his response to the mass shooting in Orlando is that people were "congratulating" him, he's disrespected veterans, he dodged the draft for Vietnam by coming up with a fake doctor's note, he wants to make policies that aren't constitutional, he promotes beating people up at his rallies...need I go on? He's a piece of shit and isn't fit to be president. Point blank period, end of discussion.

[@AbstracktAlias]

***** Oh and Christianity isn't a detestable religion? You know, the one that's killed millions all in the sake of "god"? Ever heard of the crusades? Not to mention that not all sects of Islam are radical. And he doesn't give a shit about the safety of people. You're more likely to get struck by lightning than get killed by an illegal immigrant, guess that means we got to build a wall around the sky, right? It's bullshit.

I think you will find all the American presidents for a long time now have considered nukes an option. If they didn't they wouldn't have them. America has changed its engagement policy fairly recently to allow them to strike first not just in retaliation or defence, this is insane imho and it is happening without Trump anywhere near government. You might want to learn a bit more about the subject before you criticize someone for something you apparently know very little about.

[@AnaLightForEver]

+Yung Akio Yeah that's true, here in Spain we make jokes about that stuff too...(Not everyone ofc!)

[@stormium1566]

some of these people know more about the election than most Americans do

[@David-bz7pi]

The guy with the blue shirt was incredibly well versed on Trump. Far more than everyone else. I also noticed that a lot of people were pretty guarded on their opinion. Would preface it with something like 'I don't know much about' or "He's good in this way, but ..." kinda stuff. It's very considerate. To any Japanese people reading this, hopefully I can give some information about the popularity of Trump. Trump, yes, is eccentric. Right now, in the U.S. we're kinda at a tipping point, or more a battle if you will, between PC (Political Correctness) vs Free Speech. One reason why people don't trust politicians very often is because they can say something that does sound honest, but then turn around and do the opposite. For Americans, that's a very bad thing. Being nice is important, but being honest is more important for many. Regarding PC. At our universities especially, but among many of our social platforms - people are more or less being told what is okay to think, and what is not okay to think. Of course, this translates into what people can say. Trump is pretty popular much like one of the responders in the video said - he says things that many (like half the U.S.) thinks, but for the last few years have been told you can't say or think it. Nevermind it being right or not, just bringing up the subject is taboo. They see Trump as relatable, and someone who's trying to break this culture we're getting into where even the discussion of a topic automatically labels you as a person who's comment they can dismiss easily. There's one correction in the video that I want to make sure to mention. The idea that Trump is really speaking for poor people, and relating that to intelligence - that's not really the full story. Yes, we do have lower income people, but it's not necessarily related to intelligence (although there is a correlation I'm sure). I think the majority of Trump support is that people in the U.S. are worried about some stuff that's happening lately. Syrian immigrants are causing problems in Europe right now (France, Germany especially) and people are worried about the influx of people into the states. BLM (Black Lives Matter) is seen by many as akin to a terrorist group and don't agree with the process. Even talking about either of those subjects in a negative light will label someone as Racist automatically in the states. Regardless of the factual accuracy of said comments. This turned out way longer than I expected, but hopefully helps explain the reason why Trump is supported here. I think what's happening here, and in Europe, needs to be a warning for Japan though. Your country, you actually have a culture of sorts. You have an identity. Immigration does change that, and you need to be careful of the balance between immigration and the impact on your culture. There are towns in Luton, England (Edit: Germany was removed, corrected by a person in comments) that turned almost like middle eastern towns (if someone wants a video proving that, respond and I'll grab it) - and that's scary for many. I don't think they're overreacting at the idea of holding onto culture.

True. Most people right now who just gets their ideas from liberal news networks dont even know how Trump is racist or bigot. They just see him as one without really asking themselves why or without even verifying those assumptions. Clearly, Japanese people know how to do their homework.

[@astrealove2247]

The main problem with the American election this year is that, they're basicly choosing between a rock and a hard place, because neither Hillary Clinton nor Donald Trump are good president candidates, and let's face it the smaller candidates will probably not even stand a chance in the election unfortunate, but that's how it is, and if you have to make a choice between two bad options, then I'd say pick the worst one, and hope for the best.

I can really respect people who can relay their thoughts on the situation without freaking out about politics.

[@alsyrriad]

As a Trump supporter, I don't like Trump's personality at all, but I agree with a lot of his policies. I like his stance on illegal immigrants, trickle-down economics, gun laws, and medical marijuana, but I think terminating the US-Japan defense treaty is highly retarded. And he needs to calm down with what he is saying about "killing the families of terrorists".

[@kinoko7667]

Trickle down economics has been proven not to work, why do you still support it? What aspects of Trump's ambiguous and ever-changing immigration policy do you support? What extreme stance of guns has his primary opponent taken that makes you think he has a better position?

[@alsyrriad]

Yonko Kaido I support that fact that he wanted to deport illegal immigrants that aren't in any corporate-run work program. I support the fact that he thinks background checks should be mandatory in all states. And lastly when I said trickle down, I used it in a context of an umbrella term for wealthy corporations having the ability to expand and therefore give jobs to the less fortunate. I may not support everything he says but I definitely think he is at least thinking realistically with some of these areas.

[@feixia9135]

[@bassmaiasa1312]

For me, his Japan policy is an overwhelming deal killer. It's so retarded, and it completely negates all his bullshit about 'getting tough with China.' He concedes hegemony in Asia to China, and he thinks he's gonna get a deal?

[@Astrobuni]

What I really like about this interview is the people who are getting interviewed are approaching it with an open mind, they aren't getting angry and are taking for what it is.

[@ThatJapaneseManYuta]

I do actually think the comparison is extreme. Trump does say discriminatory things but at least he denies he is a resist and he does say non-racist things.

[@VanHoenheim]

I don't think it's that much of an exaggeration. Both Hitler and Trump based their campaigns around racism and general xenophobia. As much as he denies it, he's said numerous racist things, many of his policies are xenophobic such as banning muslims from entering the country, and he's even gotten support from the KKK. While I don't think that Trump will commit genocide, I do think that he will only make things worse for our treatment of criminals, criminal suspects, and immigrants, which is already appalling. Whether it's in our courthouses, which you can't deny based on cold hard statistics have racist tendencies, or in our jails and detention facilities which do nothing to rehabilitate those who want to reintegrate into society and have even treated them inhumanely with extreme amounts of solitary confinement that has lasting psychological damage.

[@KrymsonSkyz]

+Orenji-kun Holy fuck we've gotten this far and people STILL think Trump is a racist? Educate yourself before you type paragraphs of drivel.

[@6dj6]

I think everyone forget that before Hitler rises in power, he blamed jews for most of the problems in Germany, in kind of the same way how Trump getting elected in the first place. Both men used fear and propaganda to rise in power and gain on people's trust. Prewar Germany had Anti-Jewish Legislation and the country was full of anti-jews sentiment at that time plus people didn't trust their government. Nowadays, Trump was proposing Anti-muslim whatever thing plus a wall and using the worst example of mexican and muslim to "assure" american that only his way will work. The comparison does seem extreme but I can definitely see the connection. No one thought Trump would get nominated or able to last long in the election but here we are now. In a way, how Hilter's rise to power explains America today of Trump, the historical parallel is there for the world to see. Also, Yuta, that's a nice way of putting but in the end, by non-racist things, you mean childish thing?

[@w3badm1n]

Don't blame them, is not their fault that they read/watch news from Liberal media like: CNN, New York Times, CBS News, NBC News, MSNBC, Facebook, Google, The Washington Post, ABC News, The Economist, Forbes Tech, Tech Crunch, Wired, Univision, etc. The funny thing is that Liberals know they're defending a criminal but they don't get upset about it, Liberals will only get upset with the person who exposes their corruption.

[@Wolffe9876]

It does annoy me how America intentionally glosses over stuff to make Japan look bad. People know about the rape of Nanjing and are like "oh Japan is evil" but it's typical in war. The predicted rape figures for the US occupation of Okinawa is around that of the rape figures in the rape of Nanjing. Also, people try and argue that Japan was being aggressive but they were just being imperialist as America and other countries had been doing for years, but Japan gets blamed because they hopped on the bandwagon a little later. Look at the Philippine-American war. A result of American imperialism in which 250,000 Philippine civilians died. Not military, civilians.

Rapes (including a gang rape of a child), drunken soldiers causing fatal car accidents and generally boorish arrogant behaviour by the soldiers there. Perhaps, if you were paying attention, you would reflect on that reality (soldier or civilian), more than some guy asking about Trump.

maybe the guy wants the subtitles as a script to double check words he heard in the video but doesnt know from a dictionary? only thing i can think of

[@EvanTrace]

For the English words, guys.

[@MochasimsX]

hmm…as a military memver based in Sasebo, i do not believe the Japanese are "giving us money." never have i once seen a Japanese Check goven to me. if anything, the Americans give the local Japanese business class a lot of money in a sense of jist doing business i.e. dining, lodging, retail, etc. As far as i know, Japanese do NOT give American Military money.

[@MochasimsX]

American military bases are here to protect Japan, and keep tensions low between North Korea, China, etc.

[@engesyada2793]

protect? lol another joke pls

[@MochasimsX]

+Enges yada ha, joke? please. we do protect. go fuck yourself. you tell me a joke, now. dumbass….

[@SnackMuay]

Well of course you didn't receive a check personally, that doesn't mean the Japanese government doesn't pay the US government. And even if they don't pay the US directly they might have extremely favorable export laws, or something else that would "simulate" paying the US.

[@MochasimsX]

+TheWizardOfOsborne yeah, they don't pay Americans to be here at all. so, that's completely false.

[@seijihokuto640]

Im Japanese. i think trump is good. and my twitter acount people(2000folloers who is japanese and interest in japanese) say yes he is not bad as media say about trump.

[@theshadowmaster2702]

seiji hokuto thank you so much for saying that. I'm getting tired of these certain people intensifying what trump does or says

[@mariaitch1768]

Just shut up.

[@yuranamo]

I hope your opinions have changed after how he handled recent events.

[@theshadowmaster2702]

yuranamo it won’t but thanks for understanding its my opinion

[@mariaitch1768]

The Shadow Master he's racist.

[@dalgomi9618]

Isn't it weird how you can sexually assault people, admit to it, say racist and sexist things and still be praised for being "honest"? I wonder what that kind of privilege feels like...

[@BagoGarde]

Well this time around the interviewee had some pretty informed views.

[@triggermetimbers534]

Japan a very strange country, but damn do I love them. Amazing allies and now that Trump's president, we'll become even greater friends. Make the World Great Again

[@sonicrockmanx]

Trump and the rest of his goonies might break the treaty just to save money, leaving the japanese with low defense, as such a greater risk of a attack from stupid North Korea. If you love japan yet you voted/support someone who can mess up relations with others. There are even Japanese among the protesters too going on right now. If Japan gets nuked you'll at least know you had some part in it by electing the idiot in.

[@AimForMyHead81]

[@merybran55]

Tell the first interviewed guy that i love him hahaha

[@DrinkTheIrish]

I love how polite the Japanese people are about things like this, like when my brother comes back from deployment in Japen I love hearing about what's going on there.

[@MisterWolfcrashinaflash]

Well-informed people!!!

[@benjamingillam1218]

Girl says we shouldn't have a wall on border, while living on an Island with a 98.5% Japanese population due to strict immigration laws.

[@ranggath]

why we should care what other people think abou trump? it's Americans that matters not Japanese.. btw they will starting to like him soon as donald trump in the white house

[@kenzotenma7793]

We care because we know another point of view, a japanese point of view, it's nice to know that.

[@ranggath]

+Feitan HxH yes, but this time around it doesn't really matter because they don't really know about trump and don't feel Americans problems.. the only information they have about trump probably came only from CNN international, which we all know extremely biased towards trump...

[@Nstev84761]

You should always care about the viewpoints of everyone on any subject. That's what creates a well rounded opinion and discussion.

[@defrost97]

That was the most idiotic and american thing I've ever heard. Coming from a Mexican-American who can clearly sees Trump's point of view and reasoning, I proudly feel disappointed of you.

[@annieruoklol]

Because Americans do not live in a bubble. We live in a world with other people. Having horrible leaders does affect our relations with them. Do you think that if people started pulling their money out of the USA that everything will just be fine and peachy?

[@zanariniangel]

You are so awesome! There was never a better time for a video like this. To my brothers and sisters living in Japan I also support you!

[@CordovanSplotchVT]

I would think the Japanese would be more interested in Trump's suggestion for a renegotiation of the US/Japanese treaty, since it would allow Japan to once again have a real military to defend yourselves and your allies in stead of being limited to your current self defence force. I can understand recoiling at the way he acts in the media and his strong statements, that seems to be a big cultural difference between Japan and America. I know there are at least a few Japanese people who strongly support Trump as president, like this girl here: kzbin.info/door/ad3S7ZdFxSjF9N1VRcD2Ag She also seems very politically outspoken in general and I find her views quite interesting.

[@evakaye5897]

I am afraid that most people don't do their own research when it comes to politics and just follow what the media says.

[@annieruoklol]

The irony of this comment is that many of Trump's supporters just follow what the media and politicians have been saying for years. Like rather than to have supported Obama's public option in the beginning or a minimum wage that would have helped everyone increase they would rather follow a rich racist bigot who is only looking out for certain portion of the American population.

[@CordovanSplotchVT]

Annie RUok *"rich racist bigot who is only looking out for certain portion of the American population."* Who? Hillary? She's rich, has the support of Goldman Sachs and most other banks and investment orgs, is supported by a KKK Grand Dragon, as well as radical Islamic countries like Qatar and Saudi Arabia. The problem with increasing the minimum wage is that it reduces the amount of jobs available, which is bad in a country that already has a high unemployment rate.

[@CordovanSplotchVT]

albinotatertot The false song of globalism has seduced so many.

[@Wolffe9876]

+Christian Friis Sørensen lets be real tho trump sucks, if the greatest race on earth (Japanese) say he's bad then he is lol

[@DDD033]

are all random Japanese people so smart

[@TheExOn109]

where was the food?

[@ThatJapaneseManYuta]

I'm thinking of including the food bit at the end of the video from now on. (Not this one, though)

[@TheExOn109]

it´s your signature, don´t take it away from us!

[@Gabu_]

+That Japanese Man Yuta *WE DEMAND BEAUTIFUL FOOD*

[@NuevaBestia]

End is better. Good idea.

[@Animemus]

I recommend you end your video with a dessert for your next video Yuta. Best way to end a meal.

[@MsRoadtoRiches]

It's so wonderful to hear what people around the world think. The last guy interviewed seems really smart, well they all do really. Great video, definitely subscribed.

[@justaboywholovedjapanweste5596]

O MY PRETTY GOD!!! THE MAN IN THE THUMBNAIL IS SO CUTE😭❤️❤️❤️

[@unorthodoxromance254]

"often talks bad about other people" - My friend, you have just made the understatement of the year.

[@carlmanney1160]

Japanese people in general are very humble so I feel they held back things they could have said that they felt were too harsh or outspoken, if you tried this same experiment in somewhere like the UK you would get much more blunt and straight forward answers

[@Hhnskaterfan]

That one smart young man said it. People are dissatisfied in politics and feel as tho they can trust him. This is a real problem when politicians say one thing and do the opposite.

[@meatyoakergeorge]

I liked the video up until one of the women compared him to Hitler but it was still a good video nonetheless

[@snake5479]

walls

[@jonathansum9084]

Yeah! Build the walls! Build it in everywhere ,including japan.

[@jankansi5679]

We'll hang the quakers from the walls for their crimes against Gilead.

[@aliciarose_art]

and now its a reality

[@BenjaminEsposti]

Yup! And the world hasn't ended! X'DDD

[@LISBONKULT]

IKR? and its great

[@user-id9bn1ic9v]

Ninja Legacy__ honestly, hasn’t been too bad. I didn’t like either, but I hated Hillary the most. She was always really sneaky and stuff. I still think Trump isn’t the best candidate, but he’s a good business man. Idk if I want 2 terms of him. Maybe a better Republican

[@bigbubba7753]

Thank God.

[@CrustyUgg]

How sad when a Japanese guy understands why trump won but some Americans don’t.

[@JuanitaGrande]

I miss Japan...

[@teckinetco6729]

Donarudo Torampu? sugoi, sugoi!!!

[@estebanmeza978]

screw these candidates! I'm becoming president lol everyone vote for Meza! :p Ill make everyones dream come true!

[@ThatJapaneseManYuta]

+Esteban Meza Go Meza!

[@boldlybravo2492]

meza 2k16

[@MichelleBrovey]

Lol, Meza is the best candidate. That reminds me of when I was writing in a candidate with 4 names and two were really long and oddly spelled. They would not allow us to bring any paper in with us. Then they gave me the machine for people who are blind. So it said the letters out loud each time I entered one and to top it off it was a dial so it would go through the entire alphabet each letter. Normally voting is private, so I think they forgot to plug head phones in. Everyone was glaring at me. That was the weirdest voting experience.

[@KevinLopez-pp2kz]

Sure, run for president. Who knows, maybe you'll be better than any of these scumbags who are running for the office.

[@Houdini111]

Certainly a better choice than the other two.

[@felizabaten4958]

They are all very well spoken and considerate.

[@guanabacoaguajiraguanabaco3280]

I'm so impressed! Japanese folks are so much more aware of the reality, than Americans themselves. My utmost respect for them.

[@ryan4butler1]

You have to go back.

[@mrapple3702]

3:11 The guys wonders why they only have a "Self Defense Force"? Maybe a little thing called World War Two.

[@digitalatom6433]

3:15 because Japan got nuked and went: no more wars ever.

[@hungryhippo247]

I'm sure he means that in context of what he says afterward. That is, why can't Japan go help the overseas to the US if they were attacked, but America can help Japan if we were to get attacked. Believe me we are aware why we've receded our right to go to war, but in terms of the defence of helping our allies; that's another story.

[@LoughansDragstra]

I don't know how much they filtered the interviewees but you get much more informed opinions than you would here in Sweden!!

[@alphonse360]

#makeanimegreatagain!

[@jessievantreijan6184]

[@alexkg1]

1:30 "those ideas are temporary until safety is assured" Buddy...that's how dictatorships start

[@franklinj.6836]

Trump, don't think negative things about Japan but rather he wants Japan to become a great and powerful country again. He wants each government to work for their own people and not for others that are not citizens of that country.
