Shinjiro Koizumi is the Japanese environment minister and the son of a former Japanese prime minister. Most Japanese people see him as unqualified and a bit of a fool. Thus, the 1=1 is whoever created the graphic’s attempt to portray him as a simpleton who can only parrot obvious solutions of no real value.
