Attack on Trump

Seems like even the Japanese media is taking part of the presidential race since it's full of "Characters". Not surprisingly, they are focused on a certain candidate, who seems to be untrustful of anyone who isn't American, including the japanese. Playing off the idea of Donald Trump's wall on the Mexican border, Masaaki Sato, and politcal cartoonist at the Tokyo Shinbun cleverly did a mash up with Attack on Titan.
The text in the air reads "Trump is going to build a wall around Mexico...and destroy the walls around Asia" and the politicians in the corner are saying
"It'd be pretty bad if he actually becomes president, right?"
"Nah, the Titans of Asia will protect us."
To finish it off the title is cleverly pronounced just like the Japanese title for Attack on Titan, Shingeki no Kyojin, but the Kyo is written in another kanji standing for "liar".
It's surprising how U.S. politics can so easily become a joke over in Japan as well.
