Here is yet another example of why President Trump calls them the “fake news” media:
At one point Trump described migration as a big problem for Europe then said to Abe: “Shinzo, you don’t have this problem, but I can send you 25 million Mexicans and you’ll be out of office very soon,” according to an official quoted by the Journal (AFP Photo/Nicholas Kamm)
Donald Trump threatened Japan’s Prime Minister Shinzo Abe he would ship 25 million Mexicans to his country, one of a series of bizarre missives that jarred fellow leaders at last week’s acrimonious G7 meet, according to a report on Friday.
The Group of Seven summit gathering of top industrialized democracies finished in disarray after the US president abruptly rejected its consensus statement and bitterly attacked Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
Behind the scenes, Trump’s counterparts were dismayed by verbal jabs on topics ranging from trade to terrorism and migration, The Wall Street Journal said, quoting European officials who were present.
At one point he described migration as a big problem for Europe then said to Abe: “Shinzo, you don’t have this problem, but I can send you 25 million Mexicans and you’ll be out of office very soon,” creating a sense of irritation in the room, according to an EU official. [AFP]
You can read more at the link, but Trump did not “threaten” Shinzo Abe as this article claims. He was clearly using sarcasm to make a point to the people in the room. Any journalist publishing articles insinuating that Trump literally meant to round up 25 million illegal immigrants and ship them to Japan are clearly dishonest and part of the fake news problem.
Trump is the prime purveyor of fake news. Also, any legitimate criticism of him from real news organizations (i.e., not Fox) gets labelled by Trump as fake.

‘but Trump did not “threaten” Shinzo Abe as this article claims. ‘
…or maybe he did!
Last time, it took a couple of nukes to get Japan to cooperate. That type of coersion is unfashionable these days in polite society.
But illegal immigrants and “refugees” are all the rage. America has a surplus of Mexicans that Mexico does not even want.
So Trump has the perfect threat.
He sends 25 million uneducated no-skill rapist and murderer Mexicans to Japan and gets credit for being a great global humanitarian instead of nuking them into agreeability and being called the next Hitler.
Japan would likely prefer being nuked again as the cleanup is easier, less costly, and radioactive cesium actually decreases over time while Mexicans increase exponentially.
Note, that when threatened by Mexicans, Abe shut the hell up and started cooperating.
The only downside is weaponized Mexicans might lead to a new arms race for which Mexico has a distinct advantage.
The left has no sense of humor whatsoever. 😮 😮 😮
