    The yen was weak last year as well. It’s not Trump’s doing.

        Obviously. But it’s incorrect to blame this on Trump. He just made it worse.

          …if he made it worse, then how is it incorrect to say he is part of the reason the yen is doing worse this year? That is in fact fully his blame. Everyone here has been primarily talking about the current cheap rice shortage in Japan after all, not about the Yen’s performance last year. What is happening currently is in part fully because of Trump’s market manipulation.
