Watch Japanese PM’s reaction when Trump makes Pearl Harbor joke #shorts

President Trump defended his decision not to give advance information about the timing of his attack on Iran to Japan — citing Tokyo’s 1941 surprise raid that killed 2,403 Americans at Pearl Harbor. “We didn’t tell anybody about it because we wanted surprise,” Trump told a Japanese journalist, as the country’s Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi sat next to him in the Oval Office. “Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Why didn’t you tell me about Pearl Harbor?” Trump said.

  1. Donald McDuck is almost the dumbest human to ever walk the face of the earth. Only his super fans are worse.

  2. Trump should remember that surprise he is joking about get Japan the only nuclear attack in history. Trump might have made history himself.

  3. I don't think that was a joke. It's just reality. The element of surprise gives you immense tactical advantage and the Japanese knew this as well as us.

  4. That’s not funny who’s the weirdos or creeps that are laughing in the background?you don’t have to laugh at him and his humor he’s sick
