ransomnote: I excerpted the video. The first half is the the Japanese PM's reaction to Trump asking why Japan didn't tell the US about Pearl Harbor in advance (she straightens in her chair). The second half was her reaction to his statement, 'You believe in suprise, I think, much more than us.' (She raises her brows and blinks)

President Trump on Jerome Powell:

 

He’s under investigation for what they’re spending on the new building. Something is going on there. He has Trump Derangement Syndrome, it’s not a curable disease

"I didn’t watch it, I read it. Watching is for emoters."

LOL, do you know what a petulant child you sound like? Watch the video, it was a joke and taken as such by the room.

[Nervous Tick]

Y’all have no sense of humor. I LOL’d and I bet everyone there chuckled except the chucklehead reporter that blurted what he intended to be an embarrassing question.

[caver]

Thank you for adding the rest of the unsuspecting countries that were attacked by Japan.
Yes, Japan has been a good ally for 81 years, but that was after we kicked the total dogshit out of them and they begged for surrender.
And, I still won’t forget how Japan treated the POW’s and their conquered nation’s citizens. Japan was just as bad if not worse than Germany.

>> If you think POTUS is 100% above criticism, your mind is weak. And emotional.

It’s possible to agree that POTUS is not above criticism,

*WHILE AT THE SAME TIME OBSERVING THAT*

99.999% of the criticism leveled at him on FR and elsewhere is weak-minded, and emotional. Including yours, here.

Pressure is building on old Trump and he keeps making these bonehead comments will only get worse..

[Sarah Barracuda]

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

[Jonty30]

They started it.

[central_va]

You’re sick

[redcatcherb412]

dear god, the lol factor from this heading is chuckle worthy.

[Fury]

LOL! I saw the video. It looked like a “few” people were not chuckling.

But no matter. I recognize it as a President Trump negotiation tactic to gain the support of allies.

[dpetty121263]

Facts are painful...

[Retain Mike]

Great point. That is how I ended my essay about choosing Trump. Except for Grant the other Union generals were not doing much of anything.

[plain talk]

“Japan has been an excellent ally for 75 years.
I see no reason to shame and antagonize them.”

Yeah it was a strange comment by Trump.

“Why didn’t you tell me about Pearl Harbor?”
The obvious answer is
“... Because neither one of us was born yet?”

[BK_in Central Texas]

It was a snarky, terrible question from a reporter for Japan...and what Trump said was what most folks were thinking. Just remember how the press treats him....they deserve no special disposition, and what’s Japan going to do with China right next door?

[BK_in Central Texas]

They really got him this time!!!!

[Sicon]

“Japan was just as bad if not worse than Germany.”

This is something many people don’t know, or choose to forget/overlook.

[butlerweave]

Well it was a Surprise ,D’oh ,LOL

[stanne]

“ The reporter tried to shame America and got his comeuppance, “shaming Japan” has nothing to do with it.”

Ya. He commented without watching it.

[LouAvul]

do you know what a petulant child you sound like?

That's his style. Ignore it.
