    Trump has claimed a few times that, in order for cars to be approved for import in Japan, they must be able to withstand an impact from a bowling ball without denting. It’s not a real thing. When the White House press secretary was asked why Trump made up such a weird lie, she said it was “obviously a joke”.

      Reminds me of the mind-blowing video from Channel 5 news of them interviewing Trump supporters about him posting a pic of himself as king and they say “Oh it means he’s the King of Presidents, like Elvis Presley is the King of rock and roll” and I just couldn’t possibly facepalm any harder.

      Its ironic to be complaining (or rather bullshitting) about japan restricting vehicle imports while the US is restricting imports of kei trucks for reasons.

        Because kei trucks are obviously death traps
