That wasn’t a joke. He was not joking. He’s an abusive asshole.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

If you’re stunned you have not been paying attention to the last ten years.
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.
"Why didn't you tell me about pearl harbor? I was -5 years old at the time"
Interesting that Trump seems to understand that we "did a pearl harbor" on Iran, but somehow still thinks that we are the "good guys"? He almost got self aware for a second there.
He doesn't believe in good guys, he thinks everyone is just as evil as him so it makes his continuous assault on all limits of human decency OK in his mind.
I mean, you can do a pre-emptive surprise strike against a foreign military and still be the "good guys". It's just that we aren't the good guys when we did this pre-emptive military strike against a foreign military.... Or grade school girls... Because our top military brass has been replaced by retards loyal to trump.
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.
I can’t tell if this is dementia or his regular poor taste and racism.
I hate Trump. Fuck Trump.
However, out of all the disgusting and ghastly shit Trump has done and said, this one is not that bad. Poor taste, sure. Racist? Come on. Did you even read it? It was actually witty compared to his typical knuckle dragging bullshit.
A reporter asked Trump why he didn't tell U.S. allies, including European and Asian countries, such as Japan, that he was planning joint military strikes with Israel on Iran.
"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?"
This guy is a sex predator, pedo who is trying to be a dictator and is taking our democratic rights away. Let's focus on that first. Don't let this petty bullshit be the focus.
I'll take my downvotes now.
Yeah but this anecdote betrays his shitty personality. At the end of the day he is an unapologetic child rapist first and foremost, and it's hard to imagine what could surpass that depravity, but these little vignettes help paint the picture who have trouble believing the commander-in-chief is also the chomo-in-chief.
I guess he could always do worse and joke about Hiroshima...but I wont give more ideas...
He does worse most times he opens his mouth. Calling a woman "piggy" to her face is considerably worse.
I personally think a Hiroshima reference to Japan's PM is a worse faux pas than calling someone piggy... But, hey, everybody has differing levels of sensitivity i guess.
Hiroshima reference?

Well...she's a huge fan of Trump so she deserves all she gets.
Yes.
With Donald you never have to choose.
Coming up with the analogy is just his regular poor taste and racism. Not realizing that it paints the US as the equivalent to the Japanese in WWII is his dementia.
He has dementia, this isn’t it though. This is his true self.
Why not both.

Does he not realize what he’s implying based on the ultimate fate of imperial Japan after they did the Pearl Harbor?
I guarantee you he does not.
Why? Seriously, why are they stunned? He was a crass, low class, racist thug well before the dementia hit. Why would anyone expect better?
Only thing that bombed harder then that joke was pearl harbor.
People defending the Donvict with "He was joking" need to give up because he is terribly unfunny and lacks a healthy sense of humor.

This is the funniest fucking thing he's ever done.
To a prior PM, it would be in extremely bad taste. But this bitch is nakedly fascist.
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?"
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?
Trump was born in 1946. Japan bombed Pearl Harbor in 1941. The war he dodged with his "bone spurs" was Vietnam, not WWII.

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.

"Why didn’t you tell me about Pearl Harbor?”"
A shame the Japanese rep couldn't afford a jokeback like "you were a twinkle in the milkman's eye at the time".
Japan actually tried to coordinate a formal declaration of war to be submitted immediately before the attack commenced. But due to technical and logistical problems, the communique was not read by American diplomats until after the attack.
This is the part of this that is such a political faux pas. Japan does not consider Pearl Harbor a surprise attack, and their nationalist movement right now probably won't be happy to have their favorite PM be the whipping boy of the US president. I won't say Japan is right on this, but it's just the difference in how this story is presented.
Good riddance, hopefully this creates an awful situation for her politically at home as she is pushed leftward or rightward in retaliation.
