 To President Trump!

February 20, 2026

According to #Bloomberg, more than 40% of #TrumpTariffs have been rescinded. Analysis shows that President Trump's declining approval ratings are leading to an increase in his willingness to "change his mind." I think this is a good thing.

The Trump administration should adopt my proposal for #balancedcountervailing-duties. This proposal would allow importers to reduce #tariffs to "effectively zero" if they make the effort.

#Bloomberg reviewed 49 #tariff policies that Trump has warned about to other countries since the presidential election as of the 25th of this month. They say Trump's "change of mind" is conspicuous.

The results showed that only 20.4% of Trump's threats were "fully" implemented. 8.2% were "partially" implemented. I think the downside of the #TrumpTariffs is that they leave no room for "effort."

Simply "repealing #tariffs" would only lead to #TACO (a phrase Trump always balks at), undermining the administration's credibility. Exporting countries seem to be holding off until #Trump steps down. Trump should change the trend by estab-lishing #balancedcountervailingduties.

#TrumpTariffs are tariff rates set at the #country level. The #TrumpTariffs' cause is to improve the US trade deficit and achieve #tradebalance. He should uphold that cause!

I don't reject #TrumpTariffs. #AmericanProducts are #uncompetitive compared to imported products. The root cause is to make American products #pricecompetitive.

I propose creating a #specialzone on the #Mexicoborder, accepting #illegalimmi-grants with #temporaryimmigration status, and employing them as #laborers at #lowerwagesthanChina.

If my proposal for a #specialzone is adopted, it's obvious that #America will go from a #trade deficit country to a #trade surplus country. We'll also solve the #il-legal immigration problem!

I propose #balanced countervailing duties to reduce #Trump tariffs to #effective-lyzero and alleviate public discontent. We should rely on private companies in both the country and the other country to make the effort. This will work!

#balanced countervailing duties are calculated over a set period for each exporter, including China. The system exempts #Trump tariffs for the #balanced amount of exports and imports.

This system is based on exporting companies, and Trump tariffs are levied against the U.S. net trade deficit (calculated by subtracting imports from the U.S. from ex-ports to the U.S.).

The #Trump administration should impose #effectivelyzero tariffs on importers who make an effort to export #American products. Importers like Walmart should make "business efforts" to stop passing on tariffs to consumers. Patriotism will ensure that the United States can eliminate its trade deficit.

#Walmart will "import" "clothing, miscellaneous goods, etc." from "#Chinese ex-porters." In return, Walmart will "pressure" "exporters" to "import" "beef and other American products" over a certain period of time. Instead of blaming Trump, retail-ers should also make an effort.

#Balanced Countervailing Duties will "quasi-force" "#US importers" to "export American products," effectively eliminating "#Trump tariffs" and "#US consumers' tariff burden." Go Americans, Go Trump!

Part 2. "Immigration Control Act Violation Cases" "Weekday Edition".

"Everyone" in the "international community" please help!

First, please read about the "false accusation" of "aiding and abetting violation of immigration law" in 2010.

❤Click below to read the full article!

https://toworldmedia.blogspot.com/

"Chapter 1". The summary of the incident is as follows.

In the fall of 2008, my company (I am the president) promised to hire "Chinese people studying abroad on student visas". I "issued" them "employment contracts" stating that "LEFCO" would "employ" them when they graduated from university the following spring.

However, after that, the "Lehman Shock" occurred in 2008.

As a result, orders for "system development" from the following year onwards were "cancelled".

As a result, "LEFCO" "cancelled" the "employment" of "those who were scheduled to join the company" in 2009.

Therefore, "they" continued to work at the restaurants where they had worked part-time as students even after graduating in 2009.

In May 2010, the Chinese were arrested for "violating Article 70 of the Immigration Control Act" by "activities outside of the status of residence".

In June 2010, after their arrest, I and the Chinese person in charge of recruitment (KingGungaku) ​​were also arrested.

The reason was "crime of aiding and abetting" the Chinese for "violating Article 70 of the Immigration Control Act (activities outside the status of residence)".

<Reason for arrest> The prosecution said that I and KingGungaku giving the Chinese a "false employment contract" constituted "crime of aiding and abetting" under the Criminal Code.

"Chapter 2". Crimes in the judgment: (arbitrary and ridiculous)

The charges in the indictment are "the very provisions" of "Article 22-4-4 of the Immigration Control Act".

If a "status of residence" is obtained by submitting false documents, the Minister of Justice can revoke the "status of residence" at his "discretion". (And the person will be deported).

Therefore, even if a Chinese person submits "false documents," it is not a crime. It is not a crime to "aid" an innocent act.

The "reason for punishment" in the judgment:

1. The Chinese person obtained "resident status" by submitting a "false employment contract."

2. And they violated the Immigration Control Act (activities outside of their status of residence).

3. The Chinese person obtained "resident status" because "we" provided the Chinese person with a "false employment contract."

4. The Chinese person was able to "reside" in Japan because he obtained "resident status."

5. Because of that, the Chinese person was able to "work illegally."

6. Therefore, "we" who "provided" the Chinese person with a "false employment contract" were punished for "aiding" the Chinese person's "activities outside of their status of residence."

This is an "error" in the arbitrary "logic of law."

This reasoning is the "argument" that "when the wind blows, the barrel maker (profits)." This goes against "legal logic" even internationally.

The "criminal reason" in the indictment cannot be a crime because the provisions of the "Immigration Control Act," which is a "special law," take precedence over the "Criminal Code," which is a "general law."

My argument:

"1": The Immigration Control Act stipulates that the Minister of Justice will revoke the act of a foreigner who has obtained a residence status by submitting false documents (Immigration Control Act: Article 22-4-4, cancellation of residence status) through "administrative disposition." That's all.

"2": The Chinese who engaged in "unqualified work activities" are not guilty. The reason is that their "employers" have not been punished for the "crime of aiding and abetting illegal employment" under Article 73-2 of the Immigration Control Act.

Therefore, under the principle of "equality under the law," the Chinese are not guilty.

The Japanese government has punished "diplomats and Philippine embassy staff" for the exact same "criminal reason."

However, like the Chinese government, the Philippine government is also silent.

The rest will be published in the Saturday edition.

Part 3. Special Zone Construction. A new business model.

Special Zones accept refugees and immigrants as temporary immigrant workers and limit their residence to the special zone.

Developed countries use them as low-wage workers and achieve high economic growth again.

Refugees and immigrants can get jobs and live a hopeful, humane life.

Temporary immigrants are low-wage, but "food, clothing, shelter, medical expenses, and education are free."
