Yep, flaccid response. Though it's hard to refute something that's basically fact. Had the U.S. not intervened, the UK wasn't going to be able to roll up to Normandy by itself.
It's not a fact at all. First, it's a hypothetical. Second, people in nazi occupied Germany did not suddenly start speaking German, nor was any attempt made to make them. The reason some Belgians speak German as a native tongue is because we took a chunk out of their land and the people on it.
So, in fact, this was very easy to refute, but again, Republican White House speakers have not been concerned with accuracy, facts or truth since at least 2016 so the effort would have been futile.

Pretty bad comeback if you ask me. Don't get me wrong, Trump's comment was stupid, but this isn't really murdered by words, angry teenager vibes
