Speaking of the Japanese Prime Minister visiting the White House, how's this?

Japanese PM Sanae Takaichi Reacts to Donald Trump’s Pearl Harbor Joke

On March 19, U.S. President Donald Trump sparked an awkward moment during a recent meeting in the White House with Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi. The two political leaders sat down at the Oval Office in Washington, D.C., when Trump made a joke about the Pearl Harbor attack.


Quote:
Donald Trump recently met with Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi in the Oval Office on Thursday. During the meeting, the U.S. President made a joke about the Pearl Harbor attack, drawing a visibly awkward reaction from the Japanese politician.

At one point during the conference, a reporter asked Trump why he didn’t consult with Japan and other allies of the U.S. before deciding to launch strikes on Iran on February 28. In response, the POTUS said, “We didn’t tell anybody about it, because we wanted surprise.” Trump then joked, “Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Okay, why didn’t you tell me about Pearl Harbor?” He added, “You believe in surprise, I think, much more so than us.”

Following the remark, Takaichi appeared to lose her smile as she took a measured breath. A few chuckles could be heard from across the Oval Office in response to the joke, where U.S. officials, including Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and others, were present.


Ahhhh... Donald, you've done it again!  ::)

Loose lips sink ships

It's logical not to tell anyone you might lose element of surprise

and again.

'“Without the U.S.A., NATO IS A PAPER TIGER! They didn’t want to join the fight to stop a Nuclear Powered Iran,” he wrote on Truth Social.

“Now that fight is Militarily WON, with very little danger for them, they complain about the high oil prices they are forced to pay, but don’t want to help open the Strait of Hormuz, a simple military maneuver that is the single reason for the high oil prices.

“So easy for them to do, with so little risk. COWARDS, and we will REMEMBER!”
