    That would require knowing/remembering that Japan has a prime minister

      I mean, most countries have a prime minister and/or a president in power. Even that’s a bit to remember. Just for the love of god, fucking google it before you might have to talk about it.

        Disagreed. If you’re the President of the United States, knowing the basic structure and principal players of the world’s 4th largest economy is the least. Kids memorize more Pokémon beasts than this idiot can handle world leaders.

        I wouldn’t bet money on Trump being capable of googling things, and he’s definitely incapable of admitting he doesn’t know something by asking about it.
