Anele Mdoda and her followers couldn't believe what President Donald Trump said after forgetting another politician's name.
What did Donald Trump call the Prime Minister of Japan?
Anele Mdoda was hysterical after reading a headline about US President Donald Trump's latest antics.
In his recent interview on Fox News on 29 June 2025, Trump highlighted his plan of action to hash out deals with other countries to avoid harsh tariffs. He said:

"I am going to send letters, that’s the end of the trade deal. I could send one to Japan."
The US President went on to quote what he would write in his letter to the Japanese Prime Minister, Shigeru Ishiba, referring to him as Mr. Japan, as if they were in a pageant:
"'Dear Mr. Japan, here’s the story: you’re going to pay a 25% tariff on your cars, you know? So we give Japan no cars. They won’t take our cars.'"

Anele Mdoda reshared a picture post, originally published by Business Bulls on 6 July, announcing Trump's hilarious blunder:
"I can give him a pass on this."
This comes after Trump's announcement on trade tariffs, in which he imposed a 30% tariff on South African imports starting from 1 August.
