Japanese pundits expecting chaos from the U.S. in the year ahead

Leading the 14 items was a three-page exchange of views about Donald Trump and the United States of America titled "The End of America and the Looming 'Trump Assassination Crisis,'" featuring two of the country's best-known media commentators, journalist Akira Ikegami and former diplomat and author Masaru Sato. A key change is indicated in written remarks to the effect that "the time for the U.S. to be like the mythological Atlas, bearing the weight of the entire world on his shoulders, is over." If the tariffs, which were imposed recklessly by executive orders without going through Congress, are ruled unconstitutional, lawsuits will be filed across the country demanding a refund of the tariffs paid and the amount of money forced upon consumers due to higher prices, and this could result in chaos.
