As if American politics weren’t enough of a trainwreck, Donald Trump proves that things could always get worse. In a White House meeting with a Japanese Prime Minister, the President compared the United States’ recent attack on Iran to Pearl Harbor.
“One thing you don’t want to do is signal,” he said of the attack. “We went in very hard. We didn’t tell anybody about it because we wanted surprise.” He then turned towards Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi and said, “Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Why didn’t you tell me about Pearl Harbor?” The air went out of the room.
