I didn’t need the whole damn job. I could have been doing it. I could have had a nice, I had such a beautiful life,” Trump said, prompting laughter from the assembled service members. “But you know what? We’re making America greater than ever before, and that’s why I’m doing it.”

The remarks came during a stop at Yokosuka Naval Base as part of Trump’s ongoing Asia tour. Earlier in the day, he held bilateral talks with Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, focusing on regional security, defence cooperation, and trade ties.

The visit to Japan follows Trump’s attendance at the ASEAN Summit in Kuala Lumpur over the weekend. The president is expected to continue his trip with a visit to South Korea for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit, where he is scheduled to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping in what is anticipated to be one of the most closely watched encounters of his tour.
