To Avoid Sounding Dumb, Interpreters Modify Trump's Language

1. I can't imagine being an interpreter...

Trying to translate what Trump says. I have a hard time translating Trump into understandable English when I read his transcripts.

At least when G. W. Bush spoke, he had a some what normal syntax and you could understand what he was trying to say -- even if it was said in a very stupid manner.

2. The media has been doing that for him for a year now.

They take his actual words and make them fit into something that can be sold as a, "policy" statement for the headline. But then when you read the actual transcript you find he contradicted himself multiple times and gave half-statements throughout the entire thing.

3. Reminds me of yesterday

when Trump said the deportations plan was a military operation, and 2 hours later Gen. Kelly said it was definitely not a military operation. Then Spicer cleared it up for us by saying Trump "was using the term military operation as an adjective".
Absolutely freakin mind-boggling!

5. That's when I wish a WH reporter would call out "Oh, please!" followed by guffaws from the rest.

They just don't call these guys on their complete and utter bullshit.

4. Diplomatic interpreters routinely change the original language to clarify and remove errors.

In Trump's case it may be an exponentially bigger job.
