What really strikes me is that the proven rapist Trump takes pride in what he did, while apparently unaware that Japan's surprise attack (yes, Japan wanted to at least notify the United States they were breaking off diplomatic relationships and heading to war, but messed that up) was held against Japan as being a terrible thing to do.
This "joke" is particulary a failure for Trump because she was the one right wing leaning Asian supporter he had, so he, as usual, he most humiliates his allies and erstwhile friends.
Damn; and I think it was kinda awkward how well Medal of Honor: Rising Sun sold in Japan. Playing as an American solider during Peral Harbor before moving to Japan itself, killing fictional representatives of their parents and grandparents… Well, as usual Dump did something so much more awkward and worse.
Making a joke about WWIi to a Japanese person is like going up to a Jew and starting the joke "a Rabbi and Hitler walk into a bar...."
Sure your WASP dumb friends in the Fraternity thought it was funny. But only those 5. Everyone thinks your a dick because you cant tell a joke because:
A) you dont know your audience
B) you got bad timing.
C) everyone is looking at your ridiculous comb over while you screw your racism.
My son went on an extended tour of the European Mediterranean coast for college....
He told me the conversation always and eventually turned to him being American.
He told me his response was "YOU THINK YOU HATE TRUMP?!!!!!? NO ONE likes him less than me! Its because of our electoral college system. 20% of red neck douche bags elected this game show host? HOW DO THINK US YANKEES FEEL!!!!!!. That is why I'm over here now"
Nuance? At a Sino-Japanese negotiation the Japanese served a biscuit with both countries outlined. With certain islands marked as Japanese. Hilarity ensued.
I think it was bad given who said it. It's bad because you know there's no spirit of friendly piss taking there- it's Trump. It was a joke made from the few neurons he has left firing in the racist patterns that define "Japanese" for him. Had there not been such a sharp intake of breath in the room afterwards he would have revived his "dropping bowling balls on cars" thing, and then warmed up some other late eighties fear of a Japanese century, Rising Sun canard.
When Trump said, “Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Why didn’t you tell me about Pearl Harbor, okay?”
I wish Takaichi had replied, “Oh, you Americans are full of fun surprises too. Why didn’t you tell us about atomic bombs for Nagasaki and Hiroshima? Hmmm?”
There's a bit from Alphonso the Wise, King of Castille in the middle ages, that goes something like this:
"I have ruled over my people for over fifty years. Wealth and power have been mine, nothing I have ever wanted has been denied me. I have been loved by my friends, respected by my allies, and feared by my enemies. Over this period, I have kept careful count of the days when I have been truly happy. They amount to fourteen."
I'm not gonna criticize Trump for this.
Sanae Takaichi has long history of diminishing and outright denying Japanese war crimes.
That poor woman.
That poor woman has been a lifelong advocate of erasing the millions of poor women who were victims of Japanese war crimes from the history books.
I think she'll be ok.
That would have been the perfect time for someone to say to him, "Quiet, piggy."
Christ, what a motherfucking gutter tramp.

Now it is all that Trump does.
Well, him and Putin.

Even without watching the video, I just know that the loudest of them belonged to JD Vance.
Laughing at the boss's unfunny jokes is a key skill in sycophancy. And Vance has a black belt in it.
So...now we're like Imperial Japan? The bloodthirsty empire that the U.S. went to war to 𝘥𝘦𝘧𝘦𝘢𝘵?
I guess it tracks. Trump's love of dictators is well known, and the Japanese military brass in 1941 sure fits in.
Dear Don,
Making a joke about WWIi to a Japanese person is like going up to a Jew and starting the joke "a Rabbi and Hitler walk into a bar...."

(Can't verify if its "True Story")
He believes it's a zinger.
He's burning Japanese, he thinks he's burning Japanese. He really thinks so.
Oh well played. I think I’m having an attack of the Vapors.

This is remembered in China as the Keebler Affair. Sino-Elf relations have never fully recovered.
The Japanese declaring sovereignty over Munchuria.
We must not allow a McVities gap to develop.
The Pearl Harbor joke wasn't bad at all imo. But it was completely out of touch and crass in a formal setting like FOTUS was in. No surprise there.

It was crass, insensitive, and antagonistic.
He is such a pig.

The correct surprise would have been a fucking ninja removing his head and throwing it into the the exultant crowd before vanishing.
Or give a heads up before firebombing Tokyo. Turns out we really love surprising people with war crimes.
Or just "We didn't tell you for the same reason you didn't tell Cuba about the Bay of Pigs".
See also Egypt and the ‘67 war.
I have PTSD from the number of kids who have responded to that war because of that date.
He's such an embarrassment.
Coming back from this, (If we ever do), is gonna take years.
Hey idiot Trump voters!
Your id is showing, and it's not doing the US any favors!
Can you imagine thinking this guy is YOUR GUY?
Of course you can't... you're not deplorable.
Today is my 31st anniversary...
If I had a thousand bucks for every great year I'd have about $250...
but I'm sure it's my fault... everything else always is.
There's a bit from Alphonso the Wise, King of Castille in the middle ages, that goes something like this:

He also said of the Copernican system "had I been around at the time of creation, I could have given the good Lord a few tips"...
I hope that's a joke!
Our 18th is tomorrow, and the Mr is still my favorite person on earth, most of the time.
It is.
Except the fault thing...
Good! And you're probably not wrong...this time ;)
Congratulations!
