saying 'who knows better than Japan about surprises' and then says 'Pearl Harbor' and asks 'why didn't Japan let us know'.

Wow, just wow.

Edited to add: CBC (Canada) News Network covered his press conference with the Japanese PM so his craziness is definitely going far beyond the US media.

大統領は完全な馬鹿で、ポップコーン屋の切り盛りさえできないだろう。 Trump is a total moron and wouldn’t know how to run a popcorn stand.

when he visited the country. He was walking around like he was Helen Keller on a bad day. He basically was wandering around, completely confused. She knew what to expect today.
