Donald J. Trump Truth Social Post - Feb 08, 2026, 6:13 PM EST
This came straight from Trump's Truth Social account on February 8, 2026, at 6:13 PM EST, right after the results rolled in from Japan's Lower House election. His post reads: "Congratulations to Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi and her Coalition on a LANDSLIDE Victory in today’s very important Vote. She is a highly respected and very popular Leader. Sanae’s bold and wise decision to call for an Election paid off big time. Her Party now runs the Legislature, holding a HISTORIC TWO THIRDS SUPERMAJORITY; The first time since World War II. Sanae: It was my Honor to Endorse you and your Coalition. I wish you Great Success in passing your Conservative, Peace Through Strength Agenda. The wonderful people of Japan, who voted with such enthusiasm, will always have my strong support. PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP." It got quick traction with dozens of re-truths and likes, showing how this international win resonates even here at home.

The election results are nothing short of stunning. On Sunday, February 8, Japanese voters turned out in force for the snap Lower House election, giving Takaichi's Party a whopping 316 seats out of 465 in the powerful lower chamber. That's well above the 233 needed for a simple majority and crosses the two-thirds supermajority threshold of around 310 seats, a feat no party has pulled off in postwar Japan. When you add in their coalition partner, the Japan Innovation Party, the total climbs to about 352 seats. This gives Takaichi an ironclad grip on the legislature, allowing her to pass major bills even if the upper house pushes back.
Takaichi, Japan's first female prime minister who took office late last year, rolled the dice by calling this snap election just months into her term. It was a high-stakes move, but the people rewarded her boldness. Public broadcaster NHK projected the results early, and outlets across the world confirmed the landslide. Regular Americans watching this unfold can see parallels to what we've seen here: strong leadership, clear conservative principles, and voters responding with enthusiasm when politicians deliver on promises.
What makes this victory so big? Takaichi campaigned on a "Japan First" platform that echoes a lot of what President Trump has championed. She's pushing for tax cuts to boost the economy, tougher immigration controls to protect jobs and security, and a beefed-up military to stand strong against threats like China. Her "peace through strength" approach means investing in defense so Japan can deter aggression rather than just react to it. This isn't about warmongering; it's about making sure a nation can protect its people and interests in a dangerous world. The fact that voters gave her this supermajority shows they trust her to get it done without the usual gridlock.
Trump's endorsement played a role too. Back on February 5, he posted his "complete and total endorsement" of Takaichi, calling her a strong, powerful, and wise leader who truly loves her country. He even mentioned looking forward to hosting her at the White House. That kind of backing from the leader of the free world likely gave her campaign an extra boost, especially among Japanese voters who value strong alliances. Trump and Takaichi hit it off during his recent visit to Japan, and their shared views on national strength, economic growth, and standing up to adversaries have built a real partnership.
For regular Americans, this is inspiring stuff. We know what it's like to have a leader who puts the country first, cuts through the bureaucracy, and wins big because of it. Takaichi's win reminds us that conservative ideas work when presented clearly and boldly. She's not shying away from tough reforms; she's charging ahead with them. Tax cuts to help families keep more of their money, stronger borders to control who comes in, and a military ready to defend freedom—these are the kinds of policies that resonate whether you're in Tokyo or Topeka.
The context here matters too. Japan has faced economic stagnation, an aging population, and rising tensions in the region. Under previous leaders, progress felt slow. Takaichi changed that. She became prime minister after a period of political turbulence, and her quick call for elections showed confidence. Voters repaid that with one of the biggest postwar victories. It's the first time since World War II that a single party has secured such a dominant position in the lower house. This supermajority could even open the door to amending Japan's constitution, something conservatives have wanted for decades to allow a more active self-defense role.Of course, not everyone is cheering. Some in the media highlight how her nationalist stance has strained ties with China, or worry about fiscal spending. But the Japanese people spoke loud and clear: they want change, and they want it now. Turnout was strong, and enthusiasm high, just like Trump noted in his post. This wasn't a squeaker; it was a mandate.
Looking ahead, Takaichi is set to be reconfirmed as prime minister soon, probably around February 18. With this power, she can push her agenda hard: economic stimulus, defense buildup, immigration oversight. It's a model for what strong leadership can achieve. President Trump wishing her success in passing that conservative, peace-through-strength platform isn't just polite; it's strategic. A stronger Japan means a stronger ally for the U.S. in the Indo-Pacific, better trade deals, and shared values on freedom and security.
Trump's post highlights something bigger too: leaders who love their country and fight for it get results. Takaichi gambled on the people, and they backed her overwhelmingly. Here at home, it reinforces why so many support Trump's vision: put America first, deliver results, and the voters will reward you. Regular Americans see in Takaichi a kindred spirit—someone unafraid to stand tall, make tough calls, and win big.
This victory isn't just Japan's story; it's a reminder that conservative principles are gaining ground worldwide when leaders have the courage to champion them. President Trump's congratulations capture that perfectly. As he said, the wonderful people of Japan voted with enthusiasm, and they have his strong support. In a world full of uncertainty, moments like this give hope that bold leadership still wins the day.
