That's why.... I am rooting!
...will make good relations with Japan. I think so.
....is steadily, extending power....
Hey guys this is Cathy Cat. Today we will get a little bit political.
We have the pleasure to ask the people of Japan their opinion
about the American elections.
Specifically Hillary VS Trump. Let's see who wins the race in the opinion
of Japanese people. Let's go and Ask Japanese.
Soon we got the American elections, right?
Oh yeah!
So about that, let's have a chat. We got Hillary VS Trump.
First, what kind of impression do you get from Hillary?
Rather than a good or bad impression she looks normal to me.
I know there have been some problems but...
But if you have to compare her to Trump she looks better.
If you line them up next to each other she looks better?
Something like that.
She is the wife of a former president. That means she has experienced
what it actually means to be a president.
I don't know much about politics. But first impression wise...
she seems to be more fair and reassuring.
Hillary would be the first ever female president. I think that is a good thing.
She seems to listen to everyone's opinion. Like the others said
she strikes me as more fair. She doesn't just stick with her opinion,
she listens to others opinions and tries to resolve issues that way.
I think Hillary is steadily extending her power.
That's the image I get.
You see so many news about Trump here,
but I don't know much about Hillary.
Trump seems to be against a lot of things.
I guess many Japanese people think than Hillary will win.
There is a man and a women in the elections, right?
But that man seems to cause a lot of issues, right?
Generally men become presidents.
That's why I think a man is better.
Comparing to the uproar...
The women seems to be more level headed.
Hillary would be the first female president.
So that has been featured a lot.
She competed against Obama before, right?
She left the impression on me that she is a very strict person.
If that person wins, she would be the first female president ever, right?
That's why I am rooting for her.
She seems to have a very strong mind.
She definitely has a better image than Trump.
The image I get is that she seems to be kind.
Trump strikes me as very strong...
but it seems the relationship with Japan could be endangered that way
Hillary on the other side will make good relationships with Japan. I think so.
What image do you have of Trump?
He makes many discriminatory statements in his speeches.
This could lead to war.
Because he does so many hate speeches... that's the impression I get.
There is so much discrimination and offense ...
internationally and specifically with Japan, I think the relationships would get thinner.
I also get the image that he is a bit racist. I don't get a good impression from him.
More then Trump himself, the attitude of his supporters...
like their personality... I watched a video about that.
They are not very friendly, and don't try to get along well with others.
Hillary left a stronger impression on me. I don't know much about Trump.
I don't watch much TV and haven't seen any of their interviews but...
but on the net you hear stuff about when something slipped their tongue.
And then I wonder "can he really say stuff like that?"
I have an image for him that "craziness".
He strikes me as mean.
Trump seems to be...
He does everything so freely.
Trump seems to be a very emotional candidate.
The politicians in the USA are very different to those in Japan...
a person like Trump you won't find in Japan...
He has been supported a lot, so I give him that.
I personally wouldn't support him like that.
Some of the things he says are scary.
He seems to hate people who are not from America.
He strikes me as very strong.
If Trump wins, what will America look like?
America might abandon the relations with Japan.
I got the feeling we might get a war.
I see. Who would you support then?
Would be Hillary for me.
Hillary too.
Hillary.
The man. But I don't know at all, I can't really talk.
I pick the woman.
I would pick Hillary.
Having a female president for the first time...
for the history of America and their society... might be an amazing thing.
I would like to see how America will change under Hillary.
That's why I would pick Hillary.
I am a woman you see. I'd like to see a woman like Hillary become president.
The first female president... so Hillary.
I would pick Hillary.
I want Hillary to win.
Probably Hillary. Just on a whim.
You just realized that Hillary is the woman...
Well a woman should be alright.
There hasn't been a female president before... I would like to see Hillary.
What? Hillary!
- Probably Ms Hillary. - Me too Ms Hillary.
Those were all our questions. Thank you.
Those were a couple of opinions that Japanese people had on the American elections.
Interesting enough to see that most of the people said
they are pro Hillary and they would be a little bit worried if Trump
wins the elections.
Who is gonna win? We don't know yet.
How about you? What is your opinion?
Hillary VS Trump, I know everyone has very strong opinions
on each side, so I am looking forward to reading your comments
Please don't offend each other.
I hope you have a lovely day and catch you soon on Ask Japanese.
