As the world reacts to the assassination of former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, tweets and condolences are coming in from all over the globe. Donald Trump expressed his sadness in a statement on Friday on his Truth Social website. Trump called the news of his death “really BAD NEWS FOR THE WORLD!”
“His killer was captured and will hopefully be dealt with swiftly and harshly,” Trump wrote on his social media platform.
Trump, who shared a warm relationship with the former conservative Japanese leader, called Abe “a unifier like no other” and wrote that he was a man who loved and cherished his “magnificent country” more than anything else.
He shared that only a few people know how “great man and leader Abe was” but that history will teach them and be kind.
“Shinzo Abe will be greatly missed. There will never be another like him,” Trump added.
Ivanka Trump also posted a tweet about Abe and wrote:
“Saddened by the death of Former PM Shinzo Abe, a truly historic figure & leader of lasting consequence. Abe’s advice, wisdom & warmth had a profound impact on me during my government service. My heart is with his family & the Japanese people as the world mourns his passing.”

She also posted on Instagram. It’s still rather jarring to see these photos, as Ivanka Trump never belonged in the White House. She had zero experience, and was only there because of her father.
Twitter really reacted harshly to her tweet, especially her choice of clothing, and just hammered her for the fact that she never belonged in the White House to begin with.
Inappropriately short skirt for meeting international leaders, not that you need that information now or even again.

TRANSLATION: please allow me to use the death of a Japanese statesman to try to launder my reputation as a figure in the greatest treason against the United States of America in history. It’s very lonely being an abomination and pariah for aiding and abetting my criminal father.

yo Ivanka, remember when world leaders refused to make eye contact with you and did their best to pretend you weren't tying to make awkward conversation. I do https://t.co/mW8rlO5iQx [6]

Government service? You mean showing up where you were not qualified to be?

I've never heard of the world's longest bring-your-daughter-to-work-day described as "government service" before

I don't think we can call what you did for 4 years "government service"- I think "global profiteering" is more accurate.

Such an inappropriate choice of outfit when meeting a distinguished world leader. Also, you never actually did anything during your “govt service” unless it benefited (💰💰💰) you personally.

By “your government service” you mean how you used it to enrich yourself?

Never missing an opportunity to make it about you.

Princess Invanka's "Government service" earned her $640 million while "working" in the White House, while Jared grifted the Saudis for $2 Billion.
She doesn't give a shit about the PM.
It's all about repairing her plastic, BS, grifting image! https://t.co/kTQPgYmSif [14]— Agolf Twitler Slayer (@bblock29) July 8, 2022 [15]
Ivanka did not serve the government or the people for which the government represents.
She served as an extended arm of her father's corrupt administration with a focus on economic grift, Chinese patents, and traveling on the taxpayer's dime. https://t.co/ehVg62R1BL [16]

The man could barely stand her father and she wants us to believe that PM Shinzo was her best bud, giving her advice, during her "government service"? Never give this skank the benefit of the doubt when it comes to trying to revamp her image. She's her father's daughter. https://t.co/1wWcwbEUV1 [18]
