Everyone seems to know it was a joke since it is being referred to as such. What was the joke, by the way? In the meantime, Trump puts sancions on Russia, frees up oil drilling which hurts Russia's oil profits. Warns Russia not to meddle in our elections. Puts sanctions on Russia ally Iran, pretty much crippling its economy, Puts tariffs on Russia's number one military ally China. etc. Sanctions and economic warfare. Jokes. Which is it? Both. He can walk and chew gum at the same time.

United States and Japan and a pillar of American foreign policy. On Wednesday, asked about the treaty on Fox News, Mr. Trump sneered, “If Japan is attacked, we will fight World War III.” Then he added: “But if we’re attacked, Japan doesn’t have to help us at all. They can watch it on a Sony television.” (I guess he doesn't understand the concept of scale or treaties )

More typical Trump sarc/joke. I wouldn't be surprised if he knew more about scale or treaties than you do. And he has more "expert" advisers available to him than you do. And, despite the fascist that he is made out to be, he won't stop you from expressing your ill informed opinion.

or “U.S. companies can sell their equipment to Huawei,” Trump said at a news conference. “We’re talking about equipment where there’s no great national security problem with it.”

The Trump administration has previously said Huawei is a national security issue, not a trade problem.

which is it???

As Spence would say, it depends on the context.

And to suggest there isn't a better choice for POTUS is basic

There's always, in someone's opinion, a better choice. Trick is in finding him/her/it. And making sure that it meets all the specs required by wdmso.
