    Translating for him must be a cakewalk. You only have to know, what, 25-30 words at most?

      I’ve heard it’s actually really difficult, because a good translator doesn’t do it literally.

      They’re supposed to say something which gets the same meaning across, which often isnt what you’d get just by translating each word.

      That leaves people translating trump with a problem: you can’t generally turn his long rambling speeches into something with a clearly understandable meaning without putting words into his mouth, or summarising so aggressively that you’d only say a couple of sentences for every few minutes of speech

        I’ve read that deaf or non-English speakers don’t really get to understand just how stupid trump really is because it’s impossible to accurately translate his nonsense babbling.

      Excuse me but the PRESIDENT knows many words, he is like a real big word book. One time a tall book, strong book, tears flowing down its pages said: sir, you are the man that knows most words of all, the wordest. It’s true, it’s true.

    Simultaneous translation is a difficult job. And then he has to translate words without any meaning. That’s tough. I feel for him.

    Boring speech from a boring public speaker. You can tell from how he rambles he’s an old, boring man

      It’s even worse because he thinks he’s charming, so he’s smug and cringe while being old and boring.

    It must have been his first time. Trump with teleprompter used, it won’t take that long. Trump with no teleprompter, buckle up and settle in because it is going to be a long one.

    Schiess is really hard not to guess the meaning of too…

    Like, doesn’t matter what else came before it, end a sentence with “es ist schiesse” and everybody gonna know you think something is shit
