When asked by a reporter about why the U.S. didn't share their Iran war plans with Japan, President Donald Trump said it was necessary for the element of surprise. The president followed this with a joke, saying, "Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Ok, why didn’t you tell me about Pearl Harbor?"

The look on the face of PM of Japan….😂
Ah, still, Reagan’s were much, much better!
Mike Drop!!
I suppose we were all supposed to clutch pearls at such a comment. Instead I just laughed!
Pete Rose showed up in Tokyo in the 80’s doing some business. He was impressed. His quote: “These guys are really smart. I’m surprised they lost the war”.
"It seems like only yesterday I was strafing so many of your homes. Here I am today, begging you not to make such good cars."
At least he didn’t throw up on him.
Saw it live
Yep
He brought them all, and all of us, right to Pearl Harbor. He knows history. He knows its pertinence. I feel kind of sorry for people who underestimate him. It must be jolting
It’s a queens thing more than anything is my guess. And of course he happens to be highly educated and highly intelligent
Listening to the boys on the bus riding home from school on Long Island I learned debate. They were so quick. They forced people to be honest. Like Lisa in my cousin Vinny. ‘Me what about you?! What are you? A world traveler?”
Uh, it’s funny because it’s true.
Good grief.
Hilarious and instructive...what would the Japanese PM say that didn’t effectively convey “Yeah. Okay. You got me there.”
“There will never be another one like him.”
LOL! Quite so. Gotta love it.
Oh, how we miss him.
Now THAT’S how you get other countries to fight with you!
“Pearls”
I see what you did there
Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?
That was one of the best and most hilarious answers I’ve ever seen.
Duh!
