On Memorial Day weekend, 3 years ago, Trump criticized Obama for not discussing the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor while hes in Japan. I wonder if a journalist might want to ask him whether hes going to bring it up now that hes in Japan, as president, on Memorial Day weekend?
DJT - Does President Obama ever discuss the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor while he's in Japan? Thousands of American lives lost. #MDW -

(18,903 posts)He thinks it happened during Obama's first term. Wasn't Frederick Douglass killed in that attack on Pearl Harbor as well? I think he was aboard the West Virginia, if I'm not mistaken.

(7,410 posts)The attack on Pearl Harbor traditionally is dated as December 7, 1941.

duforsure
(11,882 posts)Sure like to be critical of others but they always show their true colors, and this is no different now. He didn't mention to putin about his attacks , and ongoing attacks on the USA, or to the leaders of Japan because he's too scared to confront people face to face. Just like he has others fire his top people, or by tweets or , again because he's a coward. Yet he like to claim America first, but that's just another obvious lie from trump. trump puts putin and russia first , not America.

We have the best relationship, better than me and Melania, that I can tell you. Next time Im with KJU, Ill get him to sign a NDA to prove to one another our undying bond.
Missiles? What missiles?

He lacks honor, as well as the ability to recognize it in others, so he probably has already forgotten who and what Memorial Day is intended to salute. I doubt he could care less.

(4,341 posts)1. What good does it do to discuss it?
2. Although the attack took many lives, and massive destruction, USA at the end came on top.
3. Should they also be discussing Hiroshima and Nakasaki?
Reason why the buffoon will not talk about it:
1. He doesn't know or understand what happened at Pearl Harbor.
