Trump’s Tariff Gambit Pays Off BIGLY as Japan Funds $33B Ohio Gas Titan (Largest in U.S. History)

Imagine telling someone who lived in Japan back during WW2 that their country would now be shaking hands with America's President and dropping bags of cash at the feet of Uncle Sam…

With all the other craziness going on around Donnie’s second term… I almost forgot about every furniture store’s worst nightmare (read: Tariffs).

Speaking of, Donnie Politics is reportedly celebrating with a fresh Diet Coke after Japan pledged nearly $36 billion into U.S. oil, gas, and critical mineral projects across Texas, Ohio, and Georgia.

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. The investment marks the first batch of capital tied to last year’s landmark U.S.-Japan trade deal, where Tokyo promised $550 billion in American-based projects in exchange for Trump shaving tariffs on most Japanese imports down to 15%.

Predictably, Trump immediately took the victory speech to his favorite microphone (read: Truth Social): “Our MASSIVE Trade Deal with Japan has just launched!” He then credited one very special word for making it happen: TARIFFS.

Some men have wet dreams about Fartcoin exploding 10,000% and having Miami yacht parties with latina baddies… in Donnie’s case, thinking about every country wiring the US tax money gets him going.

Meanwhile, Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi delivered the clean, diplomatic version… strengthening the U.S.-Japan alliance, enhancing economic security, promoting mutual growth. Very polished. Very stateswoman. Very “please don’t look at 1942.”

Now let’s talk specifics.

The big shabang of the trio is a $33 billion natural gas facility in Ohio, expected to crank out a staggering 9.2 gigawatts of power. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick (read: Epstein’s friend) called it the largest natural gas generation facility in history.

The project (dubbed the Portsmouth Powered Land Project) is being operated by SB Energy, a subsidiary of SoftBank. You know, the one run by Masa Son.

Down in Texas, Japan is backing a $2.1 billion deepwater crude export facility called Texas GulfLink. At full capacity, it could generate up to $30 billion in annual U.S. crude exports. Say it with me now: Drill, baby drill.

Lastly, over in Georgia, a $600 million synthetic diamond grit facility operated by Element Six, part of De Beers Group. Diamond grit might sound kind of useless, but turns out, it’s actually critical for industrial manufacturing thanks to its extreme hardness and wear resistance.

But hey, let’s give the man some credit. While the rest of the market is obsessing over AI valuations… Trump’s doing his part to try to keep America’s energy crisis at bay and prove that “tariffs” isn’t the dirty word everyone’s making it out to be.
