President Donald Trump made a shocking comment that left people in the Oval Office visibly uncomfortable on Thursday during a meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi. A reporter asked Trump why he didn't tell U.S. allies, including European and Asian countries, such as Japan, that he was...
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 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.
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.
Coming up with the analogy is just his regular poor taste and racism. Not realizing that it paints the US as the equivalent to the Japanese in WWII is his dementia.
I can’t tell if this is dementia or his regular poor taste and racism.
Yes.
I hate Trump. Fuck Trump.

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.

It wasn’t Hiroshima. He referenced Pearl Harbor.
They mentioned Hiroshima because the comment you replied to used it as a hypothetical.
Ah yes, much better.
Hiroshima reference?
The comment they replied to.
Are you asking what Hiroshima is?
I agree that’s worse morally, but that not worse for the diplomatic relation between two of the worlds biggest economies.
Then maybe she shouldn’t have spent the last year sucking his cock.
THIS is true, anyone who cowardly placates him for their short term benefit deserves to get the full tramp treatment.

On the level of personal insults, I guess he could compare the PM to a gueixa or something, no guardrails :/
Give it time. War aint over yet.

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.
Why not both.
Both. He’s always been racist, but dementia removes what filters do exist.
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
