Guess his joke bombed.
Remember that the US nuked Japan in response. So I guess he’d be ok if Iran nuked the US in response?
They also put a tooon of Japanese people in camps
Same thing they’re starting to do to immigrants, trans people, and dissenters
Remember that the US nuked Japan in response.
Twice.
Time for Japan to dump their 1 trillion in US bonds. That’ll be worse than Pearl Harbor for them.
Japan is like the rest of the world, they bought into the idea US was too big to fail. You can’t just “dump” $1T in bonds.
BRICS replacing USD is like how we declare every year the year of the linux desktop lol.
When USD goes down, its gonna bring down the world with it
lol.Alternatively we can transition to the Eurodollar, which some people trade with already.
yeah that was super hilarious never has a double lol been more appropriate you should be a comedian
Bro. The people coming to his defense is mind blowing. “That’s not what he meant!”, “He didn’t mean it in a racist way!” Shut the fuck up. He knows what he’s saying. He doesn’t care. The mental gymnastics his cult does for him is crazy. Just own up to it. He’s the racist pedophile Uncle who makes bad jokes at a family gathering that you wouldn’t leave your 10 year old with.
It is what it is.
Something something narcissist’s prayer.
I can’t tell if this is dementia or his regular poor taste and racism.
Yes.
I hate Trump. Fuck Trump.
However, out of all the disgusting and ghastly shit Trump has done and said, this one is not that bad. Poor taste, sure. Racist? Come on. Did you even read it? It was actually witty compared to his typical knuckle dragging bullshit.
A reporter asked Trump why he didn’t tell U.S. allies, including European and Asian countries, such as Japan, that he was planning joint military strikes with Israel on Iran.
“One thing, you don’t want to signal too much when we go in,” Trump said. “We went in very hard and we didn’t tell anyone about it because we wanted surprise. Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Why didn’t you tell me about Pearl Harbor?”
This guy is a sex predator, pedo who is trying to be a dictator and is taking our democratic rights away. Let’s focus on that first. Don’t let this petty bullshit be the focus.
I’ll take my downvotes now.
Yeah but this anecdote betrays his shitty personality. At the end of the day he is an unapologetic child rapist first and foremost, and it’s hard to imagine what could surpass that depravity, but these little vignettes help paint the picture for people who have trouble believing the commander-in-chief is also the chomo-in-chief.

I’m sorry but this is terrible diplomacy and diminishes America’s soft power on the world stage.
Yes we’re moving into a multipolar world where soft power matters less but narrative building is always relevant and rubbing your allies the wrong way is just terrible strategy from any vantage point.
Trump’s caused so much damage to Western credibity in so little time just by highlighting and widening fault lines at a records pace. This will create a vacuum that others will seek to occupy. This comment may not seem like much but it’s another little cut that will slowly bleed away America and the West’s standing in the world.
Yeah, no shit. That’s why I said all the negative stuff. Fucking relax.
Well…she’s a huge fan of Trump so she deserves all she gets.
He has dementia, this isn’t it though. This is his true self.
Dropping the mask.
It’s damn both.
With Donald you never have to choose.
Probably a mixture of all three, most people would be smart enough to keep that thought in their head.
He’s brought it up before in dealing with Japanese diplomats
If you’re stunned you have not been paying attention to the last ten years.
Not to worry. He’s going to be SLAMMED for this. Perhaps even someone will BLAST him. And since journalism is literal Pokémon moves now he might even be CONFUSED or HYPNOTIZED
It was a BOMBSHELL statement.
Lol Pokemon moves
“Foreign minister leers at president; it is super effective!”
Or even just 9 months ago, when he told the leader of Germany that D-Day “was not a pleasant day for you.”
That wasn’t a joke. He was not joking. He’s an abusive asshole.
The biggest buyer of US debt everyone. Lucky for Trump she’s a boot licker.
Japan has been known to fire/jail their PMs so she might be pushed to do something like sell-off their US bonds.
Nobody is mentioning he said why didn’t you warn me.
I caught that too and was flabbergasted.

His handlers would probably just claim that he meant “Why didn’t you warn POTUS?”
But that doesn’t mean that every news outlet shouldn’t be pointing out that what he said, in addition to being extremely rude and undiplomatic, was utterly nonsensical.
If you compare his performance now with videos of him from his first term, the decline is extremely obvious.
Joke!? Motherfuckers get the hell out of here with that. It was an insult.
The dementia really reduces the inhibitions, doesn’t it?
The USA has never felt shame for dropping two nuclear bombs on civilians without warning. Which is why it is likely to happen in the Middle East.
shame? the usa is fucking proud of it.
I can’t think of a bigger war crime in human history.
Does he not realize what he’s implying based on the ultimate fate of imperial Japan after they did the Pearl Harbor?
I guarantee you he does not.
How did you not realise the obviousness of the answer while typing? He so far from being able to comprehend anything on that level. It’s like asking if a toddler can’t understand the nuances of different ideologies on the same side of the left-right political system.
“Oval Office stunned…”
No, they weren’t. No one is surprised when Trump makes a complete ass of himself in front of other world leaders, it’s sort of his thing.
That headline surprised me too. Other than Takeuchi, why would anyone accustomed to being in the room be surprised that he would say something stupid?
Ehh not suprised with how stupid donald is.
