[Occupymendocino] Exciting News! - A job for Trump.

(As I’ve said before, we need a President, not an Emperor.  M.S.) 
At 82, Emperor Akihito of Japan Wants to Retire.
Monday, August 8, 2016 2:16 AM EDT New York Times: 
In an extraordinary televised address on Monday, Emperor Akihito of Japan spoke publicly about his retirement for the first time. Though his words were characteristically vague — he discussed his age, his rigorous daily schedule, and what he called his increasing physical limitations — the message was unmistakable.


Finally, a job where ‘The Donald’ can act as ‘The Donald’ wishes. He’ll no longer be upset about sending jobs overseas and, it shouldn’t be too difficult to get the ‘Chrysanthemum Throne’ gilded.

If Akihito steps down, the move could redefine Japan’s royal family, the world’s oldest hereditary monarchy. While the emperor now has only symbolic power (much like a television personality), an abdication could also resurrect a contentious issue in Japan: the debate over allowing a woman to occupy the throne. Ivanka, could be next!

Japanese emperors define eras in the country. Its unique calendar is based on their reigns: 2016 is expressed as Akihito’s 28th year on the throne, and when his successor takes over, the date will reset to Year One. How perfect is that? TRUMP I

After the war, Hirohito stunned his subjects by declaring that he was not a god, overturning decades of government propaganda and centuries of loosely held tradition. A new Constitution, imposed by the victorious United States, stripped him of political power and relegated the monarchy to a purely ceremonial role but, the uniforms are still cool.

In recent years some have come to see Akihito as a quiet but powerful guardian of Japan’s postwar pacifist identity. Trump should be able to change that without too much trouble since the Japanese are so polite.

Akihito said he wanted to avoid a situation where “society comes to a standstill” before his death, and the elaborate funeral rites required afterward distracted from the enthronement of his heir. I really don’t see much of a problem here; President Obama should be able to obtain an export certificate for Mr. Trump ASAP.

Why wait? JAPAN NEEDS TRUMP!
