Lord knows there’s no shortage of Donald Trump gaffes out there. So we’re honestly not sure why WaPo’s Aaron Blake is working so hard to conjure one up here:
"I remember Pearl Harbor" — President Trump to Japanese PM Shinzo Abe during a tense meetinghttps://t.co/ZXIVVmsmF1
— Aaron Blake (@AaronBlake) August 28, 2018
Pearl Harbor happened 5 years before Trump was born. https://t.co/6XHnNpv0Im

And, therefore, he … shouldn’t’ve known about it?
One of those weird events where if you didn't live through it, you have no idea that it happened.

Area reporter thinks that when Texans say, "Remember the Alamo," what we mean is to recall our contemporaneous accounts. https://t.co/tLrs9uRj2I

So we had to be alive to remember events? Crap. I guess he Civil War never happened. Or the Great War. Or the Apollo missions. Or the Wright brothers famous flights. Or….

Every American should know what happened, and remember, at Pearl Harbor December 7, 1941. I remember Pearl Harbor, but wasn't born until 18 years after. That doesn't reduce my ability to have memory of the terror attack.

True, I don't remember it ever being covered in history class https://t.co/goSOeB0Hwv

It's a day that lives in infamy. Anyone who sat in history class will remember Pearl Harbor. Stop trying so hard.

I remember Pearl Harbor too. Lots of people remember history without having been present at the event or alive when it happened. Stop picking at every. Single. Syllable. It’s obnoxious.

Remembers history, try it sometime.

While you’re at it, try not being such a shameless hack.
Aaron, you’re a partisan hack.
