Oval Office stunned as Trump fires Pearl Harbor joke at Japanese PM - Lemmy.ca

I can’t tell if this is dementia or his regular poor taste and racism.

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.

I guess he could always do worse and joke about Hiroshima…but I wont give more ideas…
He does worse most times he opens his mouth. Calling a woman “piggy” to her face is considerably worse.
I personally think a Hiroshima reference to Japan’s PM is a worse faux pas than calling someone piggy… But, hey, everybody has differing levels of sensitivity i guess.
It wasn’t Hiroshima. He referenced Pearl Harbor.
They mentioned Hiroshima because the comment you replied to used it as a hypothetical.
