I have decided that my anti-Trump Facebook posts should be in Russian. I want to see how long it takes my Trump-supporting friends to catch on and see if I can get them to reply in Russian.

(1,188 posts)I have a very close Russian friend but I don't want to trouble him by asking him to translate for me. So I'll do the best I can and unlike Trump, hope I can avoid starting a war.

I am particularly interested in "Go fuck yourself." That would prove useful in interacting with Trumpsters.

(146,254 posts)That's one reason not to post in Russian. Another is that most posters are simply using Google Translate, which often gets what you want to translate humorously wrong.
It's probably better to stick to English on DU, unless you actually understand Russian and can write correctly in that language.
Just saying...
