In a surprise move, Donald Trump has announced that he has purchased the rights to rename Kumamoto Castle as Trump Castle and convert it into a casino. Mr. Trump said that he began thinking about opening a casino in Japan after Prime Minister Abe mentioned his plans to legalize casino gambling during his visit to Trump Tower in November. The Donald went on to explain that he chose Kumamoto Castle because recent earthquake damage made it possible to acquire naming rights at a significant discount. “I spoke with Mayor Onishi, who is a fantastic mayor by the way, and we made a deal,” Mr. Trump said. Asked about concerns that converting Kumamoto’s iconic cultural symbol into a sleazy gambling hall might upset the people of Kumamoto, Mr. Trump said “Believe me, it’s going to be terrific. The people of Kumamoto love me. I’m going to make Kumamoto great again.” When a reporter from Kumamoto International stood to ask a question Mr. Trump said “Sit down! Sit down! I’m not going to call on you. Kumamoto International is fake news. And that Kirk Masden guy – terrible person, just terrible! Anyone who believes anything he says or writes ought to have their head examined. Sad.”
