Frankly, I'm writing this directly to you because a lot of people, and by that I mean the *best* people, are talking about what's happening. They're saying it's a big deal. Tremendous. A historic shift. And you know what? I knew it. I predicted it. I said it years ago, probably to some top generals, very smart generals, when I told them, "Things are going to change. Bigly. You watch." And now, look. Japan. They're making the move. They're finally doing it. And it's a very, very significant thing. A really, really important moment.

They've lifted this ban, this old, tired ban from World War II. A war, by the way, that was a long, long time ago. A very long time. And for decades, Japan, a great country, wonderful people, they couldn't export these lethal weapons. But now they can. This is a game changer. A lot of people are scratching their heads, they don't get it. The so-called "experts" on television, they're clueless. But I get it. I always get it. I understand markets. I understand deals. The best deals. And let me tell you, the deals coming out of Japan now? They're going to be incredible. Tremendous for certain countries. I’ve done deals like this, even better deals, frankly. The biggest deals. Nobody does deals like I do. I mean, nobody.

And I'm not seeing the credit, are you? The fake news media, they're not talking about how *I* saw this coming. They never do. They're always focused on the wrong things. Little things. Mean things. They're very unfair. But I keep winning. We keep winning. Meanwhile, I'm thinking about the big picture. The global picture. These new Japanese weapons, they're going to be beautiful. Very high quality. The best quality. I know quality. I've built the best buildings, the best brands. And Japan, they've got that quality. They always have. People don't realize how important quality is in a weapon. It's EVERYTHING. Without quality, you have nothing. Nothing.

This is a new chapter for you, dear Weapons Markets. A really important one. A truly historic one. And frankly, you should be thanking me. Because I'm bringing attention to it. Real attention. The kind of attention that gets things done. This isn't some small thing for some small country. This is Japan. A powerhouse. And they're going to bring some serious firepower to the table. And frankly, I'm expecting a call. A lot of calls. Because when you want to make the *best* deals, the *smartest* deals, the most PROFITABLE deals, you call me. Everyone knows that. Top people. The smartest people.

So, get ready, World's Weapons Markets. This is just the beginning. The very beginning. And remember who told you first. Who understood it completely. Who can make it even better. Me. Only me. This is going to be HUGE. And it's going to be a very, very good thing for many, many people. Tremendous. Believe me.
