Given Donald Trump's rhetorical fixation on walls, it's little surprise that someone would compare the candidate for the Republican party's 2016 US presidential candidacy to Attack on Titan. Still, the Tokyo Shimbun rises to the occasion with a great send-up.

This appeared in a Tokyo paper. It's pronounced the same, but instead of "attack on titan" it's "attack on liar". pic.twitter.com/GwAEGD8CXT — David A Hill Jr (@machineiv) March 15, 2016

@mandarific Basically he'll build a wall around Mexico and tear down walls in Asia. But it's okay, the titans in Asia will protect us. — David A Hill Jr (@machineiv) March 15, 2016

@mbf6nytky @machineiv Technically your right. I'm pretty sure it's a play on 巨人. Since 虚人 (selfish scapegoater) is pronounced the same. — Kevin Meyerson (@kevinmeyerson) March 15, 2016

@R3ap3r_Tokyo @uzaigaijin Agreed. But, they (the creators/publishers) decided it was "Attack On Titan", so I go with that. — David A Hill Jr (@machineiv) March 15, 2016
