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

He is deranged.

Why am I laughing; it's probably hysteria.

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

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.

* worth a watch

For anyone who hasn’t caught this is with a watch, just google it. The Japanese PM asks the President why Japan and other allies were not informed of the impending war with Iran. Trump went on as usual about it being a surprise attack then turned to the Japanese PM and said it was like Pearl Harbour, inasmuch as Japan didn’t tell the US about that surprise attack, as if it was a joke.
The PM looked mortified.
