This guy talks the same way I'd write an essay with a minimum word count.
Lots of people with English as their second language have a better vocabulary than Trump. As someone that had to learn English, I always thought his was at the level of a child and I can't understand how so many native speakers don't seem to realize that.
Trying to explain this to my non english speaking friends is so hard. They only ever see what he says after it’s been translated and then it looks fine since you cant translate trumps word salad out of english without first translating it into something human readable.
Indeed. There's a lot of unintentional sanewashing being done by translators on international news. I'm the only one of my family that can speak English and it's astonishing to see/hear how the news make him sound less stupid in French than in English. My brother-in-law doesn't speak a lick of English and is a Trump supporter. All his information comes from translations, and yet, he insists on saying that Trump was misunderstood and that the news are deliberately making him look bad.
Also, you rarely get transcripts of his ~~speeches~~ logorrhea in non-english countries. Read just a few paragraphs and it becomes very apparent how dumb and confused he is.
Sadly, a lot of the US have a similar vocabulary and low IQ so they see him as being like them. A lot more like him for saying the horrible racist and misogynistic stuff out loud.
Please dont make speaking English a standard of anything. Its lame!!
Vere. Ĝi devu esti Esperanton, sed Anglo parolantoj povus ne lerni. Kiel Eddie Izzard diris: Pli ol unu lingvoj in unu kapo?! Malpossibla!
"I've been totally exonerated so I can talk about it nicely." (smug grin)
No, you haven't.
And a child can see that you're not really being nice.
That shitty little grin on his face when he says "exonerated"
Trump himself said that he was exonerated so... /s
This isn't proof
It was sarcasm
Ah, ok. Nothing indicated it was sarcasm tho 🤷
Get out of that room and make some friends
To that guy's credit, about 30% of the country would post this unironically.
" /s " is the indicator
I can't see it in the post tho
Sarcasm etiquette has gone the way of a Russian oligarch pissing off Putin. There no rules anymore.
Haha, fair. Sarcasm in text is hard.
