Just got back from Dubai—yep, took that fast lane again on the return.
We rode in this car from the private lounge straight to the plane
An exclusive passage to the aircraft, not one that everyone uses.
Same scenery,
yet different takeaways.
Comparing notes—getting a peek into Irie-kun’s values.
Single digit, double digit, triple digit…
The price changes depending on that—
it’s all about car license plates.
A single digit?
That could mean hundreds of millions… or even billions of yen.
Even double or triple digits can cost 30 to 50 million.
They’re more expensive than luxury cars themselves.
Wrapped up with an amazing final dinner—thank you!
Wooow〜
IRIE-san always at work!
What an exciting and stimulating time in Dubai!
Now that things are settling down, I feel like something new will start to take shape.
And on a completely different note—

Congratulations SAMMY〜〜〜
Tomochin's cooking event was great too!
Arai-san’s messages—quirky yet so deep! (lol)

This time, I took a look at Trump’s eccentric remarks and analyzed them!
↓↓↓
Love him or hate him, there’s no denying that Trump’s words have a certain “pulling power.”
From his latest UN speech, here are some key elements we can break down step by step.
1. Basic Style of Speech
Simple and decisive
“The only way to end war is through action.”
Avoids complex wording, speaks in terms anyone can understand.
Labeling
Calls climate change “the greatest hoax in history.”
Uses strong words to leave a lasting impression.
2. Contrast Structures That Stick with the Audience
Criticism vs. Support
Right after calling the UN “empty words,” he says “The U.S. is 100% supportive.”
Juxtaposing opposites leaves a strong impression.
Ideal vs. Reality
“The UN holds great potential, but isn’t realizing it.”
Plants the expectation that “more can be done.”
⸻
3. Stirring Emotion Through “Enemies vs. Allies”
Clarifying the enemy
“Excessive rewards for Hamas,” “Iran, the world’s number one state sponsor of terrorism.”
Creates a sense of shared enemy, uniting supporters.
Praising allies
“Those who support peace must unite.”
Makes the audience feel they are on the side of justice.
⸻
4. Lightening the Mood with Relatable Humor
Turning failures into jokes
“All I got from the UN was a bad escalator and a teleprompter.”
Turns equipment troubles into a joke, taking control of the room.
Expressing discontent lightly
By adding humor, criticism comes across softer and gains audience goodwill.
⸻
5. Takeaways (Practical Tips)
Keep it short and decisive: say “It is” instead of “I think it is.”
Use labels: sum up complex issues in one word (e.g., hoax, empty, the only way).
Create contrasts: “good vs. bad,” “potential vs. reality,” etc.
Define enemies and allies: show a common enemy to build solidarity.
Add humor: ease tension and deliver criticism more gently.

Contents of the Speech

1. Background & Positioning
U.S. President Trump delivered his first UN General Assembly address since beginning his second term.
Claimed: “I ended seven wars, but received no UN support in reaching agreements.”
2. Evaluation of the UN (Criticism → Conditional Support)
Criticized the UN for being filled with “empty words” and for not sufficiently supporting peace efforts.
However, in his post-speech meeting with Secretary-General Guterres, he softened, stating that “the U.S. is 100% behind the UN” and acknowledged its potential for peace.
3. Basic Stance on Gaza and Palestine
Called for unity to achieve a ceasefire and free hostages.
Opposed unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state, labeling it as “excessive rewards for Hamas.”
4. Concrete Diplomatic Actions (Middle East Summits)
Held bilateral talks with Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Egypt, Jordan, Turkey, etc., evaluating them as “very good meetings.”
Turkish President Erdoğan mentioned the possibility of issuing a joint declaration.
(Media reports) Discussion points included ceasefire, hostage release, Israeli troop withdrawal, and postwar governance excluding Hamas.
5. Parallel Moves by Other Countries (Stabilizing Gaza)
France and the U.K., together with Germany, Italy, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Canada, and Australia, discussed the possibility of a Gaza stabilization force.
6. Ukraine Policy
Warned Russia: if it refuses to end the war, the U.S. will impose extremely powerful tariffs as pressure.
Stressed that sanctions can only be effective if European nations align, urging cooperation.
7. Iran Policy
Declared absolute opposition to Iran’s possession of nuclear weapons.
Emphasized: “The world’s top state sponsor of terrorism must never be allowed the most dangerous weapon.”
8. Climate Change Recognition
Labeled climate change “the greatest hoax in history.”
Criticized UN and related forecasts as based on falsehoods that deprive nations of wealth and opportunity.
9. Incidents During the Speech (Tone & Performance)
Mentioned malfunctions with the teleprompter and UN building escalators, expressing discontent with irony and humor.
10. Overall Summary
Toward the UN: While severely critical in the speech, showed pragmatic conditional support in meetings → a dual stance.
Middle East: Centered on ceasefire and hostage release, opposed unilateral Palestinian recognition, accelerated practical talks with regional powers.
Toward Russia & Iran: Took a hardline approach via economic pressure and non-proliferation.
On Climate: Reiterated deep skepticism toward international climate action.
Overall: Positioned himself as action-oriented and focused on practical negotiations, while remaining critical of symbolic international frameworks—signaling a stance of selective engagement.
Don’t sell the product—sell the future.
Don’t sell the features—sell the story.
Don’t sell with desperation—sell with confidence.
Don’t sell the price—sell the value.
Don’t aim for persuasion—aim for conviction.
Don’t sell a one-off—sell the continuity.
Don’t rely on tactics—rely on strategy.
