It was supposed to be a question for his dignitary guest, but the insolent fellow directed his snarky inquiry to the President of the United States — and got the slap-down he deserved.
Japan has been an excellent ally for 75 years.
I see no reason to shame and antagonize them.
That. Is. Hysterical.
My mostly apolitical wife was howling.
We’ll not see his like again.
We need this man…He Fights!
A reminder that on that same day, Japan also attacked:
The Phillipines
Hong Kong
Malaya
Guam
Wake Island
Midway Island
Pressure is building on old Trump and he keeps making these bonehead comments will only get worse..
Well he’s right, where is the lie? It’s a historical fact! Why is that WE always have to inform everyone else in advance for EVERYTHING we do but the rest of the world doesn’t have to tell us jack
Well it was a Surprise ,D’oh ,LOL
The kind of things most people would never say out loud, he says out loud.
In the early 80’s I worked as a programming instructor for a Japanese machine tool company in America. The regional manager asked me on July 3 if I could go to a customer site the next day to fix whatever the maintenance problem was. He offered extra pay for working on a holiday. I said I wasn’t interested in the pay, I just wanted a replacement day off. He said fine, what day, I replied “December 7th”.He was not amused.
The Japanese High Command sent a 5000-word encoded Declaration of War to their embassy in DC with instructions that it be delivered to the White House 30 minutes before the commencement of hostilities.
But they couldn’t decode it fast enough.
I think Trump can be a horses ass a large percentage of the time, but I thought the comment was funny, and the response perfect. I cracked up when I read it. It’s been 80 years. Isn’t that long enough?
Pretty amazing the amount of Freepers that think that President Trump is a tyrant, a loser, sinking into dementia. The same Freepers that think that in the 21st Century if you aren’t following the “Marquess of Queensberry Rules” that you are an unworthy loser. Rather sickening.

A coda, courtesy AI. Looks like Japan didn’t tell Hitler, either...
Per AI...
No, Japan did not give Germany advance notice of the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. Hitler was not officially informed, and the move surprised the German leadership, despite their alliance under the Tripartite Pact.
ROTFLMFAO!!!!
That was his BEST zinger!!!
