When the Japanese live translation goes silent because the translators are too stunned to repeat your Pearl Harbor “joke” to the Japanese PM, you’ve officially reached a new level of diplomatic failure.

Those seconds of silence were the most honest reaction of the day.

there needs to be a point where someone just reams him live. just lights into him and calls him the offensive ignorant boor asshole that he is. no one with any intelligence actually respects him in any way. its all ritual behavior. its pantomime.

@ewos1986 Thank goodness it's only about 35% who believe in Trump. Intelligence isn't the most important human attribute, of course, but Trump supporters also lack kindness if they can tolerate the way his HSI treats immigrants (and just random people grabbed in error). They lack honesty if they can see the same quid pro quo and intimidation activities on loop and still support that shakedown artist. And they lack decency if they can put up with the way he talks to and about people, especially women. So 35% of Americans have a lot of soul-searching to do if they ever want the rest of us to respect them.

Sorry to be strident - I don't mean it to be about you. But I get so mad thinking about how much less terrible and terrifying the world would be now if he had never been allowed into office. Sigh.

It is dishonest, not diplomatic to sit there, smile and smooth it over.
