Poor Japan!
The Prime Minister had to lead the wandering buffoon around the world stage! It was like a giant balloon wandering around on stage!
What a pathetic loser he is!
Boy SNL is going to have a ball with that pathetic disgrace!
Stable genius he is not! Recheck and reevaluate that MRI please!

Another female leader who advocates for traditional gender roles for other women

I am not saying that the whole sisterhood thing can’t get a bit overdone when superficial (as the ghastly girlboss era showed), but that’s just bullshit. Anyway the girlbosses were never feminist - just another rubbishy social media invention.
In keeping with our frivolous times she too is a tv personality. Tv stars have learnt how to translate ratings into votes. Reagan was the most high profile American I can think of who pulled that off.
No wonder we are in the middle of Idiocracy.
I watched that movie again recently..it’s prophetic..
Fewer tv stars and influencers please. Why can’t we ever have politicians who actually work in..well..just about anything except the media? Can’t we just pressure some introverts with expertise in fields that matter into running for office and have them hire some media people or something?
So tired of WWE stars and the like representing people..
Want more Claudia Sheinbaums and Brad Sherman’s and fewer of these morons..they are not perfect -no one is..but these guys will destroy the planet.

Japan's parliament elected Takaichi on Tuesday, several weeks after she was chosen to lead the conservative Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), which has spent much of the last seven decades in power. The LDP is seen as shifting further to the right: It was only able to elect Takaichi by forming an alliance with a right-wing populist party, after losing its longtime coalition partner earlier this month.
Takaichi, 64, is "one of the most conservative people in Japan's conservative LDP," explains Jeffrey Hall, a lecturer at Kanda University of International Studies in Japan.
She has advocated for tougher immigration restrictions and embraced hawkish policies on China. She has drawn comparisons to the late British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, for whom she has frequently expressed her admiration and often wears blue suits in tribute.
But she also played drums in a band in college, cites Deep Purple and Iron Maiden as some of her favorite bands, once belted a rock anthem on national TV and appears to maintain a strong affinity for motorcycles and cars.
"Those are part of the character that is promoted by her, that [she is] more than just the strong Iron Lady, but also somebody who can have some fun," Hall says.
