Trump makes crass comment about Pearl Harbour to Japanese PM

* worth a watch

It seems every day he has reached the bottom of the barrel, but he keeps proving us wrong by digging deeper.

It's hard to fathom.

This might work

Why am I laughing; it's probably hysteria.

I imagine him like Basil Fawlty making Nazi jokes to the German Chancellor.

He is deranged.

If he can say that to the PM of Japan, what might he say to the King?

It was on the main ITV Evening News, probably on BBC too.

Excruciating.
Whatever next?

Indeed.
The mind boggles.

Fallingstar and Smileless Yes.

Surely someone can do something about him?
Involuntary commitment? Impeachment?
Please?

King should not be going….. simple as

He’s a total idiot and needs putting in an institution in a straight jacket …..

I thought Trump’s shot about Pearl Harbour was well aimed but he spoiled it by going on a ramble - a bit like a comedian having to explain his joke to a weary audience after it’s missed the mark.

First rule of diplomacy
"Don't talk about the war"!

He is an ignoramus and a dangerous one, at that.

Well put there MollyNew

It’s like jaws, except not just when they thought it was safe to go back in the water, more just when they thought he couldn’t get any worse, then he did - Bigly

He’s a dangerous, impulsive, ignorant fool. The Republicans need to Do Something, hopefully in conjunction with the Generals. A coup

We went to see Fawlty Towers at the theatre last night. This reminds me of "we didn't start it" "yes you did, you invaded Poland!" Substitute for "well you surprised us with Pearl Harbour". As Iam64 says, Trump is an ignorant fool.

At least we could laugh at Basil as he wasn't real (and a stuffed moose had fallen on his head, after all).

Oh , it just gets worse. The trouble is ,he is surrounded by sycophants who encourage him and applaud him and feed his ego ( or should I say psychophants? )

On X, Eric Trump said "one of the best responses to a journalist ever". Infantile comment.

Have known a fair few US presidents - not personally ofc I don’t move in such circles thank goodness - and Trump makes Nixon look honest and Dubya look like a giant intellect. He is a caricature of a president, an amalgam of David Brent in the office and Basil Fawlty in Fawlty towers.
But it all ceases to be funny when Trump starts playing war games with good buddy Bibi and actual innocent people start to die.
Somebody somewhere has to try to stop him before he does yet more irreparable damage. How this is done I have no idea.
But hey thanks all you American voters who gave the world this dangerous and demented individual.
Democracy is a wonderful thing, until it isn’t.

Well it was a daft question, wasn’t it?
Of course Trump wanted the element of surprise before he attacked Iran.

Just read a White House thread on Facebook and everyone was saying how she adores him because she hugged him when they met. There was footage of it but it seems very un Japanese to me.

And look what resulted from that surprise attack and how it all ended 🤔

Yes a surprise to most people, as there was no imminent danger to the USA, and therefore no reason for the attack.
