Yes this is what passes as intelligent life in Trumps public relations group, D Day really helped us bond with Germany.

It was clumsy; but, she was pointing to the 74th anniversary ceremonies (and the Marshall Plan)... not the actual invasion.

Then it wood seem if she had half-a-brain she would've mentioned the Marshall Plan (along with the Berlin Air Lift) and not have even brought up D-Day.


Had she mentioned Hiroshima and Nagasaki as evidence of our strong bonds with Japan would you label that merely clumsy?

As clumsy as stating the Canadians burnt down the White House.

She did mention the Marshall Plan.

And she said this while trying to defend our diplomat to Germany who basically was throwing support to the party opposing Merkel.

Nobody burned down the White House, since it didn't receive that name until 1901!

I know, and I'd say the Berlin Air Lift would've been a far greater indication of our "strong relationship" with Germany than D-Day, that is unless shooting each other is now considered a strong relationship.
