OMG! This what we used to call a wicked burn in my day. [View all]

From this morning's appearance in the Oval Office with the German Chancellor:

German Chancellor: "May I remind you that we are having June 6 tomorrow. This is the D-Day anniversary."
Trump: "Not a pleasant day for you. That was not a great day."
German Chancellor: "This was the liberation of my country from Nazi dictatorship."

I know it will surprise no one that the "press" is not covering this in favor of the elon/donnie catfight, but think about what this means for a moment. And what could the Chancellor have been thinking?
