'Insane': Trump's Baffling New Comments On Japan Leave Critics Aghast
President Donald Trump suggested new tariffs on Japan ― but then spaced on the name of the nation's leader. Trump told Fox News host Maria Bartiromo he would be sending out letters as his pause on tariffs ends early next month, and cited Japan as an example. Rather than name Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba ― who he met in February at the White House ― Trump appeared to improvise as he described the letter. 'Dear Mr. Japan: Here's the story,' Trump said. 'You're going to pay a 25% tariff on your cars.' He said it's 'not fair' that the United States takes 'millions and millions' of Japanese cars, while Japan takes comparatively few cars from U.S. automakers. 'They won't take our cars,' Trump said, and suggested that Japan could fix that deficit with other purchases from the United States, such as oil. Trump has said in the past that his tariffs are a way to get companies, including overseas companies, to increase production in the United States. 'My message to every business in the world is very simple: Come make your product in America, and we will give you among the lowest taxes of any nation on Earth,' Trump said in January. However, the vast majority of Japanese cars sold in the United States are already built in the United States, making them less likely to be impacted by the threat of new tariffs. But it was the opening of his hypothetical letter to Japanese leaders ― the 'Dear Mr. Japan' ― that got his critics fired up on X: Dear Mr Japan? Trump doesn't know what or who he is talking about — Barbara Comstock (@BarbaraComstock) June 29, 2025 If President Biden started a sentence with "Dear Mr. Japan," Republicans would never shut up about it and "25th Amendment" is all they'd be talking is fucking INSANE. — BrooklynDad_Defiant!☮️ (@mmpadellan) June 29, 2025 Imagine if Joe Biden forgot the name of the Japanese prime minister and called him Mr Japan. I'm sure everyone would be really normal about it. — Centrism Fan Acct 🔹 (@Wilson__Valdez) June 29, 2025 Fact: Japan manufactures more cars in US than it imports to US. Japan has some $700 billion invested in US, employs close to 1 million is strength. — Robert Manning (@Rmanning4) June 29, 2025 BREAKING: Trump has no clue who the Prime Minister of Japan is so he calls him 'Mr. Japan' in the interview. How can you negotiate with somebody if you don't know their name? — Trump Lie Tracker (Commentary) (@MAGALieTracker) June 29, 2025 The same conversation in which he said, "I'm going to send letters, that's the end of the trade deal. I could send one to Japan. Dear Mr. Japan..." His brain is peanut butter. — Leslie Jones (@Spiker715) June 29, 2025 "Dear Mr. Japan"Is Jake Tapper in the house? — Bo Gardiner (@BoGardiner1) June 29, 2025 Dear Mr. Japan? — Wu Tang is for the Children (@WUTangKids) June 29, 2025 For the millionth time:(1) "We" don't give Japan cars - private companies make and endeavor to sell them. And private Japanese individuals, not "Japan," have been decling to buy them.(2) Japan pays US tariffs with the money given by American citizens when they buy those cars. — Michael Hausam (@MPHaus) June 29, 2025 Dear Mr. Japan, while hilarious, is like what in the fuck? — Jason Diamond (@jasondiamond) June 29, 2025 this dude really said 'dear mr japan' — sane (@sanelofi) June 30, 2025 Who tf is Mr. Japan — Jen Monroe (@thatjenmonroe) June 29, 2025 Domo arrigato mr.

Capitol Police arrest man who disrupted Senate debate on Trump's 'big, beautiful bill': 'You people are awful'
A man was arrested by Capitol Police on Sunday after interrupting the Senate debate on President Donald Trump's "big, beautiful bill," shouting from the Senate Galleries that the lawmakers are "horrible." Allen D. Rogers, of Florida, was arrested for unlawful conduct after he refused to obey officers' orders to stop the disruption, according to police. "At approximately 7:00 p.m., our officers arrested a man who started being disruptive in the Senate Galleries," police said in a statement. The interruption happened between speeches by Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., on the Republican-backed spending bill. Rogers was heard shouting criticisms at lawmakers from the galleries, including "you people are awful" and "you're horrible," although most of what he said was intelligible. His remarks appeared to be targeting Republican lawmakers. Sen. Dave McCormick, R-Pa., was the presiding officer at the time of the disruption. McCormick was seen looking up and to his left into the gallery and repeatedly saying "the Sergeant at Arms will restore order in the gallery" while Rogers was shouting attacks at lawmakers. Fox News has reached out to Capitol Police for additional information on this incident.

Charlize Theron Fears ‘Millions of People…Are Going to Die' Because of Foreign Aid Cuts
Charlize Theron delivered fired up remarks Saturday about immigration, LGBTQ and women's rights and the devastating cuts to foreign aid. 'The world feels like it's burning because it is,' the Oscar winner said at the fifth annual Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Program Block Party on the Universal lot. 'Here in Los Angeles, in the US and across the globe, we are moving backwards fast. Immigration policy is destroying the lives of families, not criminals. Women's rights are becoming less and less every day, queer and trans lives are increasingly being erased, and gender-based violence is on the rise. This isn't just policy, it's personal. Fuck them.' More from Variety Katy O'Brian Says Sydney Sweeney 'Didn't Care' About Getting Hurt During Fight Scenes in Christy Martin Biopic: 'She Was Like, "If You Break My Nose, That's Fine"' Emma Stone on Working With Joaquin Phoenix in 'Eddington' and That Viral Bee Incident With Pedro Pascal and Austin Butler at Cannes Bob the Drag Queen Launches Production Company Purse First Studios (EXCLUSIVE) She continued, 'Foreign aid cuts brought HIV and AIDS programs in my home country of South Africa to an absolute standstill. All of this is not just detrimental, it's dangerous. People will lose their lives. Many have already unfortunately and at a frightening rate. It's absolutely heartbreaking to see this kind of unnecessary suffering.' Theron did not mention Pres. Trump by name but his administration has made cutting foreign aid a core part of its agenda. But Theron said she is not without hope. 'What we also see, what we cannot miss, is the resistance,' she said. 'There is hope, there is power in all of us standing up, organizing, protesting, voting and caring for each other, and refusing to accept that this is the new normal. That spirit of resistance, justice and care for each other, that's the spirit that drives the work at CTAOP. Although our focus is on the youth in southern Africa, what we're really talking about here tonight is that all lives should be valued. Everyone should have the right to be healthy and safe and should be able to be seen.' Theron launched CTAOP 18 years ago to support young people living in her native South Africa. To date, CTAOP-supported programs have reached more than 4.5 million youth and granted $15 million to organizations in southern Africa. Earlier in the evening, on the red carpet, Theron told me, 'It's quite devastating what's going to happen…It's less than one percent of this budget that everyone is talking about and when you compare that to the millions of people that are going to die because of this, it's devastating. It does feel like this event is a little more important than it was last year.' Theron says she regularly lobbies elected officials. 'We do it quite a bit,' she said, adding, 'I will say there are a lot of people who do pick up the phone and are willing to listen and are on our side of understanding.' The evening also included a live auction of luxury products and experiences as well as a performance by Reneé Rapp. Best of Variety Emmy Predictions: All 118 Categories Updated as Voting Opens With Tight Races and Major Shakeups 25 Hollywood Legends Who Deserve an Honorary Oscar Oscars Predictions 2026: 'Sinners' Becomes Early Contender Ahead of Cannes Film Festival
