Trump Tells Pearl Harbor Joke After Japanese Journalist Asks Him Why He Didn't Tell Japan About The Attack On Iran

[mudwhistle]

Journalists sometimes can be pretty stupid.

We don't hate them enough.

A member of the Japanese media tried to embarrass Trump in front of the Japanese PM by asking him why he didn't tell them about the surprise attack against Iran.

Trump said of course he didn't tell them about it. "We were trying to surprise them.....and telling everyone in advance would have given it away! Would you have told us in advance about Pearl Harbor?"

The PM was not amused. I thought it crass.....True....But crass.

Well why didn’t he?
Is he saying he doesn’t trust our closest allies but then whines when they don’t bail him out

 

[skye]

That "joke" was in bad taste.

 

[Woodznutz]

Was it really a joke?

 

[mudwhistle]

Was it really a joke?

No....he wasn't joking.

He's getting ready to bomb Tokyo as we speak.

 

[mudwhistle]

That "joke" was in bad taste.

At least he wasn't sniffing the PM's hair.

The PM was not amused. I thought it crass.....True....But crass.

Not as crass as the time Obama showed off his erection during a flight to female journalists.

 

[Rocko]

I don’t care what your political affiliations are that’s pretty funny.

When I was in Okinawa, several other Marines and I visited the suicide cliffs where Japanese women threw their children first and then themselves over the cliffs out of fear of the Marines storming the island. We were in the presence of Japanese Nationals who were also there.

We were quiet, somber, and respectful as we watched the old videos of the suicides being played in a continuous loop.

However, the Japanese visitors did not even try to do the same. It got very hostile, very fast.

Only a few spoke any English at all. . . but they sure as hell knew where we were going when we brought up Pearl Harbor!

Why crass?

Bush puked on the Japanese PM

 

[skye]

Why crass?

Not very diplomatic, lets put it that way.

Every December 7th a Japanese Sailor liked walking thru the liquor store I worked at while I was in college, wearing his Japanese sailor's hat.

He must have thought it was funny.

I haven't been around in a while and most likely missed a boatload of opportunities to jump all over your dumb and twisted ass. TRUMP is not asking any country to bail him or us out. Our military is the greatest, and we will always control shipping around IRAN. All he is asking is that our allies do their fair share, a term you, on the left, are quite familiar with.

That's our classless, pile of shit President, for ya.

 

[Rawley]

Not very diplomatic, lets put it that way.

I thought it was the perfect answer to a very stupid question. Why didn't we tell the world that were going to vaporize the entire Iranian leadership in one fell swoop?

LOL....I had forgot about that!

So it could have been worse.

The incident of George H.W. Bush vomiting on the Japanese Prime Minister, Kiichi Miyazawa, occurred on January 8, 1992, during a state dinner in Tokyo. The President, who was 67 at the time, fainted and vomited onto the Prime Minister's trousers after playing doubles tennis with the Emperor of Japan and his son, Crown Prince Naruhito. The incident was widely reported and became a memorable moment in American and Japanese history.
