“Happy Memorial Day” to Japanese troops?

Donald recognizes the ultimate sacrifice made by Japan's military in WWll by saying “Happy Memorial Day” to Japanese troops.

Memorial Day is supposed to be an American holiday to honor our American heroes who sacrificed so much but now Trump and his loyal followers have remade it to include our enemies who fought against us.

And Trump says "Happy Memorial Day" to the Japanese military that killed many thousands of our own military/

“Uh. We went in very hard and we didn't tell anyone about it because we wanted surprise," Trump said. "Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor?"

'Profound idiot': Nicolle Wallace struggles to process Trump's shock joke to Japanese PM www.rawstory.com/nicolle-wall...
Oh man! No joking about Nagasaki and Hiroshima being the double tap that ended WW2?
He's obtuse. And acutely moronic.

MS NOW host Nicolle Wallace had a frank reaction on Thursday after President Donald Trump made a jaw-dropping comment that shocked people inside the Oval Office during a White House meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi.

Wallace was visibly stunned after discussing Trump's attempted joke that clearly left the room uncomfortable when a reporter asked why Trump hadn't warned his allies that the U.S.-Israeli military strikes were coming.

"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?"

Wallace watched the video playback and commented on Trump, asking her panel to share their thoughts.

"I struggle every minute of every day with platforming him, one, I should do it all day because it shows what a profound idiot he is," Wallace said. "But but two, we were on other sides. This is a question about why didn't you read in your allies? And he says, we didn't know what our adversary was going to do. I mean, David Frum, what do you even, how's your brain doing?"
