Hosting the Japanese prime minister, Sanae Takaichi, in the Oval Office on Thursday, Donald Trump could not resist mocking Japan about its 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor during the second world war.
After a series of questions about the current conflict in Iran, the US president was asked by a Japanese reporter: “Why didn’t you tell US allies in Europe and Asia and Japan about the war before attacking Iran?”
Trump replied: “One thing you don’t want to signal too much, you know, when we go in, we went in very hard and we didn’t tell anybody about it because we wanted surprise. Who knows better about surprise than Japan?”
There was laughter in the room but the president had not finished. He asked mischievously: “Why didn’t you tell me about Pearl Harbor?”
Suddenly the laughter died away. Takaichi’s eyes widened and she shifted in her chair as Trump evoked the moment that drew the US into the second world war.

Wonder why he didn't mention the attacks on Hiroshima or Nagasaki...that would have been a hilarious ending to his comedy routine...
