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.

@Strandjunker yeah, the translators were propably like:

  • Is this a prank?
  • Is someone fiddling with the audio??
  • He didn't say that!
  • Did he actually say that??
  • Really???
  • Fuck that shit, I'm not gonna burn my career as translator for that orange tyrant!!!
