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

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

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.

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

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