Donald Trump's letter to the Prime Minister of Japan has been compared to the sort of thing a schoolchild would write. The US president recently wrote to Japanese PM Shigeru Ishiba telling him that the US was going ahead with 25 percent tariffs on Japanese goods, along with a threat to raise them should Japan decide to reciprocate. The letter has been criticized for its style, with some calling it similar to a fifth grader's writing level. The excessive use of capital letters and simplistic language have raised eyebrows among readers.

Some have pointed out numerous grammatical errors in the letter, questioning its quality. The content of the letter, emphasizing tariffs and trade deficits, has also been a cause for concern. This isn't the first time Trump's communication skills have been compared to that of a fifth grader. An analysis of his speeches during the 2024 election found that he was largely speaking at a fifth to sixth-grade level.

Overall, the letter has sparked mixed reactions, with some expressing disappointment and others highlighting the need for clearer and more professional communication in diplomatic exchanges.
