I was curious about what the Japanese side’s take on Trump’s remark would be, so I found this news report from a Japanese outlet:
Try translating the comments by yourself. You’d find that most people are blaming the Japanese reporter who asked “why didn’t you notify us before attacking Iran.” They say that of course they wouldn’t tell us (Japanese) about a surprise attack beforehand and that this question is stupid and rude.
Personally though I think this remark is rude regardless of what questions were asked. Also I think that the question itself may be stupid but isn’t rude.
The question should have been phrased “why did you not form a Coalition before your attack on Iran” but that would have confused Trump.
Given the fact that he also wanted to approach China for support I think him actually attempting to get consensus would have been more chaotic than the current timeline.
There’s been enough blue on blue action as it is without trying to get nations who don’t really like each other to work together
I don’t see what the problem is.
Which is why you have no close friends.
My close friends are Neo Nazis
Ehh not suprised with how stupid donald is.
This is the funniest fucking thing he’s ever done.
It’s old man jokes like these that I understand. People clutching their pearls online while literally no one reacted the way this article says when they were in the room. Even the PM gave a visible smirk because she knows he’s an old senile moron that can be easily manipulated.
anyone want to share? I can’t see the joke.
“One thing, you don’t want to signal too much when we go in,” Trump said. “We went in very hard and we didn’t tell anyone about it because we wanted surprise. Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Why didn’t you tell me about Pearl Harbor?”
Lol, that shit is funny. Irrespective, the guy is fuckinh retarded and a plague on the world
What makes it funny? Seems like nowadays whatever is insulting is called funny
Different people have different senses of humor. It’s subjective.
Of course, so what makes it funny to you?
I never said it was funny.
Legitimately a good joke, probably not during a diplomatic meeting though.
It’s not offensive by Trump’s standards but it also isn’t really funny.
From the article:
“One thing, you don’t want to signal too much when we go in,” Trump said. “We went in very hard and we didn’t tell anyone about it because we wanted surprise. Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Why didn’t you tell me about Pearl Harbor?”
Why didn’t you tell me about Pearl Harbor?
Trump was what at that time? A middle aged nobody?
he was 5.
Nope, Trump is a very early boomer. He wasn’t born until After Pearl Harbor happened.
Are you sure he wasn’t 50 back then? I mean… look at him!
well I was wrong so maybe you’re right!
-5.
yes, my bad.
Trump was born in 1946. Japan bombed Pearl Harbor in 1941. The war he dodged with his “bone spurs” was Vietnam, not WWII.
big oof
Yeah am I bad for literally laughing out loud at this? unbelievable stuff
To a prior PM, it would be in extremely bad taste. But this bitch is nakedly fascist.
It was legitimately funny, not diplomatic at all, but legitimately funny.
How was it funny?
I died laughing! 😂 I like how silent the room just went after the 2 sec before people realized what he just said.
Btw the Japan Primeminister is also a Japanese MAGA so I don’t really give a f about her either. Let them swin in their own nationalist poop.
Nobody is mentioning he said why didn’t you warn me.
I caught that too and was flabbergasted.
Frontal lobe dementia, also known as frontotemporal dementia (FTD), is a group of disorders caused by the progressive degeneration of the brain’s frontal and temporal lobes, affecting behavior, personality, and language skills. Symptoms often include changes in personality, inappropriate social behavior, and difficulties with language and movement.

Frontotemporal dementia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Frontal lobe dementia)
Frontotemporal dementia (FTD), also known as frontotemporal degeneration, and historically as Pick’s disease, is a family of progressive neurodegenerative disorders that affect the frontal and temporal lobes.[2] The FTD family includes behavioral variant FTD (bvFTD), primary progressive aphasia (PPA) and its semantic and nonfluent/agrammatic variants (svPPA and nfvPPA)[2], primary progressive apraxia of speech (PPAOS),[3][4] progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), and corticobasal syndrome (CBS)[2]. Through a mutual risk gene, FTD and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) share a clinical spectrum, with it possible for symptoms of both disorders to co-occur.[5] Symptoms of FTD will typically match a specific disorder at first, though symptoms of other disorders will inevitably begin to show as the disease progresses to different areas of the brain[6]. FTD disorders are a common young-onset dementia occurring under the age of 60, often developing when people are raising families and managing careers[7].
Approximately 60% of people diagnosed with FTD have no known cause and no family history of FTD or related conditions; this is known as sporadic FTD. While environmental causes and unidentified gene variants are suspected causes of sporadic FTD, research in this area is still ongoing. When people have a family history of FTD, other dementias, or conditions like depression and anxiety, it is referred to as familial FTD, and roughly 20% have an underlying genetic basis. Variants in three genes are responsible for most genetic FTD. Notably, in about 10% of people with seemingly sporadic FTD, a genetic variant is identified.[8]
FTD diagnosis currently relies on clinical examination based on the signs and symptoms experienced and imaging of the brain through MRI or FTDG-PET. FTD disorders have heterogeneous symptoms and pathological features, which contribute to a lengthy differential diagnostic process and high rates of misdiagnosis. A neuropathological examination after death usually provides a definitive diagnosis by identifying the specific features of FTD subtypes[2].
There is no cure for FTD, nor are any disease-modifying treatments approved that could slow disease progression. The aim of treatment is to manage symptoms, which is primarily accomplished through non-pharmacological interventions such as person-centric care strategies or physical and occupational therapy. Medication can be used to address symptoms like depression or anxiety, but some drugs, like sleep or antipsychotic medicines, carry a considerable risk of side effects for people with FTD[9]. Death is usually the result of complications of FTD, such as pneumonia or fall-related injuries. The average life expectancy after symptoms start is 7-13 years[10].
Signs and symptoms
Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is an early onset disorder that mostly occurs between the ages of 45 and 65,[11] but can begin earlier, and in 20–25% of cases onset is later.[12][13] Men and women appear to be equally affected.[14] It is the most common early presenting dementia.[15] FTD is the second most prevalent type of early onset dementia after Alzheimer’s disease.[14][16]
The International Classification of Diseases recognizes the disease as causative to disorders affecting mental and behavioural aspects in humans. Dissociation from family, compulsive buying disorder (oniomania), vulgar speech characteristics, screaming, and inability to control emotions, behavior, personality, or temperament are characteristic social display patterns.[17] The gradual onset and progression of subtle changes in behavior or language deficits commonly leads to a long delay between the onset of symptoms and time of presentation to a neurologist.[14]

TLDR:
Frontotemporal dementia is a family of progressive neurodegenerative disorders that affect the frontal and temporal lobes. Dissociation from family, compulsive buying disorder (oniomania), vulgar speech characteristics, screaming, and inability to control emotions, behavior, personality, or temperament are characteristic social display patterns.

This is exactly where a stent would be placed to try and restore blood flow to the brain on someone with dementia.
The dementia really reduces the inhibitions, doesn’t it?
The USA has never felt shame for dropping two nuclear bombs on civilians without warning. Which is why it is likely to happen in the Middle East.
I figure it’s more likely that Israel will use nuclear weapons than the US – they have maximalist goals for the war, and a clear genocidal tendency
Sampson option
shame? the usa is fucking proud of it.
I can’t think of a bigger war crime in human history.
“Why didn’t you tell me about pearl harbor? I was -5 years old at the time”
If you’re stunned you have not been paying attention to the last ten years.
Or even just 9 months ago, when he told the leader of Germany that D-Day “was not a pleasant day for you.”
Not to worry. He’s going to be SLAMMED for this. Perhaps even someone will BLAST him. And since journalism is literal Pokémon moves now he might even be CONFUSED or HYPNOTIZED
Lol Pokemon moves
“Foreign minister leers at president; it is super effective!”
It was a BOMBSHELL statement.
President Trump used DISTRACTION! It’s not very effective against Epstein Files…
That wasn’t a joke. He was not joking. He’s an abusive asshole.
He’s a sociopath, no two ways about it. I remember a story his nephew told about bringing his developmentally disabled son (can’t remember the exact condition) to the White House and having multiple meetings with Trump about setting up a bill that would benefit Americans, including his own great-nephew. In one of those meetings, after it had all seemed positive, everyone left the room but Trump and his nephew, to whom Trump immediately said “be a lot easier and less expensive if all these disabled kids would just die”.
The disabled were one of the first groups rounded up by the Nazis in concentration camps.
The US is building a lot of concentration camps. It’ll probably be fine.
Time for Japan to dump their 1 trillion in US bonds. That’ll be worse than Pearl Harbor for them.
Japan is like the rest of the world, they bought into the idea US was too big to fail. You can’t just “dump” $1T in bonds.
BRICS replacing USD is like how we declare every year the year of the linux desktop lol.
When USD goes down, its gonna bring down the world with it lol.
yeah that was super hilarious never has a double lol been more appropriate you should be a comedian
Alternatively we can transition to the Eurodollar, which some people trade with already.
lol
lol
…lol ☹️
Haha
It was the only one that survived along with lmao
RIP roflcopter
Meh both are facist Japanese gov and Japanese in general are also tone deaf to be fair. Just happen to receive their own medicine.
He lowered the bar to the ground & then went at it with a shovel. Ooooo dayumn.
What a fucking moron and stoops to level of fucking Tojo. US Navy intelligence broke the Japanese code in 1937 and they knew exactly when the fleet departed and their target.
I guess I’m not an expert here, but this sounds like garbage.

Wow, I thought the title is exaggerated but the room did fell silent after that joke. Even Trump seemed to notice it didn’t land that well. Impressive.
Even Trump seemed to notice it didn’t land that well.
That is something I don’t believe
