Stop a U.S. President to Make Business-Oriented Compromises with Russia and China
Reports in Japan are portraying the Democratic Party as having an advantage. However, the media in both Japan and the United States got the outcome of the 2016 presidential election wrong. Once again, Trump’s Republican Party may defy expectations and pull off a victory.
Looking back, U.S. national elections have struck a delicate balance. During the Cold War era that continued beyond the Reagan years, W. H. Bush, who had served as vice president throughout Reagan’s eight-year presidency, became president. However, in the new era following the end of the Cold War, voters elected the younger Bill Clinton as president.
After Clinton's presidency ended in a scandal unbecoming of a Christian, W. Bush, who appealed to Christian voters, became the next president. However, after George W. Bush, a second-generation politician whose competence had been questioned, the capable Black politician Barack Obama appealed to independent voters as well and became the next president.
And in 2016, rather than Hillary, who was still burdened by her husband’s mistakes, white independents who had the key position in the election elected the wealthy Trump as president, driven by their backlash against a Black president. Concerned about Trump, a political novice, American voters elected the veteran Democratic politician Joe Biden president in 2020, and Trump left the White House reluctantly. In 2024, Biden was considered too old to run a successful presidential campaign, and Kamala Harris, an Indian female politician, became the Democratic nominee. However, Trump regained momentum and returned to the presidency, satisfying white voters.
Given this trajectory, by 2028, American voters—having recognized the limitations of Trump's appeal to the wealthy and anticipating confrontation with authoritarian states such as Russia and China—may choose a more Christian-oriented politician who places greater ideological emphasis on freedom and democracy.
If the Republican Party wins the midterm elections, Trump's stance may influence the next presidential election, potentially leading to another president who views Russia and China as business partners. I believe this would be dangerous.
Therefore, a new president—one who is not like Trump—needs to be elected in the 2028 election. To that end, the Democratic Party needs to find a new type of presidential candidate for the next presidential election, and these midterm elections will provide a good opportunity to do so.
In other words, the key question in these midterm elections is whether the Democrats can defeat Trump's Republican Party and accelerate their preparations for the next presidential election.
However, left-wing rhetoric and behavior are no longer accepted in American society, and racial barriers have largely disappeared. The Democratic Party needs a presidential candidate who is not an exceptional figure like Obama, but someone aligned with the founding principles of the United States.
China continues its anti-Japanese rhetoric and actions, declaring it will launch nuclear missiles in Tokyo someday and threatening to kill Japan’s Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi for her statements relating to Taiwan made in the Diet. Russia is still illegally occupying Japan's Northern Territories.
For Japan, the nightmare scenario is for a U.S. president who is willing to make business-oriented compromises with Russia and China to become popular in America.

Luke 11
11 One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.”
2 He said to them, “When you pray, say:
“‘Father,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come.
3 Give us each day our daily bread.
4 Forgive us our sins,
for we also forgive everyone who sins against us.
And lead us not into temptation.’”
5 Then Jesus said to them, “Suppose you have a friend, and you go to him at midnight and say, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread; 6 a friend of mine on a journey has come to me, and I have no food to offer him.’ 7 And suppose the one inside answers, ‘Don’t bother me. The door is already locked, and my children and I are in bed. I can’t get up and give you anything.’ 8 I tell you, even though he will not get up and give you the bread because of friendship, yet because of your shameless audacity he will surely get up and give you as much as you need.
