Big Beautiful Flop Making presidential statements presidential again.

The Diplomat · A French President or a diplomat of the Quai d’Orsay

The French Diplomat

Elegant, lyrical and sure of France’s role in the world. Speaks of principles and of Europe, and answers every crisis with a summit in Paris.

Hopefully, they will show all the good things

Donald J. Trump

Original

I will be interviewed tonight on “60 Minutes.” Hopefully, they will show all the good things we’ve done over the past 2 years, not even including the First Term, which was incredible. If we get help from the Republican Senate, we can still do things that are unbelievable! President DJT

Satire

France welcomes every opportunity for a head of state to account for his record before a free press. An hour of questions on national television is a demanding exercise, and a healthy one for democracy.

We would only add, in friendship, that history tends to judge a record over decades rather than in a single broadcast, however well edited.

Version française

La France salue toute occasion donnée à un chef d’État de rendre compte de son action devant une presse libre. Une heure de questions à la télévision nationale est un exercice exigeant, et salutaire pour la démocratie.

Nous ajouterons seulement, en toute amitié, que l’Histoire juge un bilan sur des décennies plutôt qu’en une seule émission, si bien montée soit-elle.

Send them directly to me

Donald J. Trump

Original

The threats being made by the Democrat Party against innocent Republican Donors and Party Members are absolutely unprecedented, and totally illegal. Please report them to the Department of Justice, IMMEDIATELY! If you would like, send them directly to me, your President. These SLEAZEBAGS should go to jail for what they are doing. The Senate must act, and stop being pushed around to the point of the Republican Party losing Elections, and worse! Likewise, the DOJ and House of Representatives. Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP

Satire

France condemns, without reservation, any intimidation aimed at citizens because of their political commitments, wherever it comes from. In a democracy, such matters belong to independent justice, and to it alone.

We would add, with all the friendship that unites our two republics, that justice is best served when it is not asked to act “IMMEDIATELY” by the head of state himself.

Version française

La France condamne sans réserve toute intimidation visant des citoyens en raison de leur engagement politique, d’où qu’elle vienne. En démocratie, ces questions relèvent de la justice indépendante, et d’elle seule.

Nous ajouterons, avec toute l’amitié qui unit nos deux républiques, que la justice est mieux servie lorsqu’on ne lui demande pas d’agir « IMMÉDIATEMENT » à l’initiative du chef de l’État lui-même.

A Press Secretary like none other

Donald J. Trump

Original

I am pleased to announce that the Great Dana White, a violent Fighter and Warrior, has been offered the job of Press Secretary of the United States. I have requested that he bring with him assistants, even though some are not from our Country, of Islam Makhachev, Khabib Nurmagomedov, Justin Gaethje, Daniel Cormier, Amanda Nunes, and Kayla Harris. We need these people to defend us against the Lunatic Left. Dana will be a Press Secretary like none other. Dana, please take the job! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Satire

France has always welcomed great champions, including those who come from abroad, and we warmly congratulate Mr White.

We confess to some surprise, however. In the French tradition, a government spokesperson defends the government with words, sometimes a great many words, but rarely with a submission hold.

Version française

La France a toujours accueilli les grands champions, y compris ceux venus de l’étranger, et nous adressons nos chaleureuses félicitations à M. White.

Nous avouons toutefois une certaine surprise. Dans la tradition française, le porte-parole du gouvernement défend le gouvernement avec des mots, parfois beaucoup de mots, mais rarement avec une clé de bras.

Extortion at the highest level

Donald J. Trump

Original

The Democrats are going around threatening a lot of people, including the Attorney General of the United States, and others, with Impeachment and many other forms of punishment, even though they admit they have no reason to do so, and there have been no impeachable acts committed, or even thought of, by the victims of this illegal process. This is extortion at the highest level, and they should be held accountable for this. Also, they’re threatening our Donors, some of the most respected people anywhere in the World, with imprisonment, and many other levels of punishment, just because they happen to be Republicans, or Republican supporters. This is Weaponization and Lawfare at another level. The Senator from Michigan, Elissa Slotkin, is saying that she is going to go after all young people that believe in Republican Values, and that give even the slightest inclination to be a Republican. The imprisonment should be against these EXTORTIONISTS, and Republicans should get smart, fast! Threatening letters have been sent to many people, all innocent, from Democrat Political Leaders. By copy of this statement, I am ordering the Department of Justice to look into this criminal act, immediately! President DONALD J. TRUMP

France follows with attention, and with deep respect for American institutions, the debates currently under way in Washington.

Political confrontation is the lifeblood of democracy; independent courts are its guarantee. We trust that the Department of Justice will act with the independence that American democracy rightly expects of it.

Version française

La France suit avec attention, et avec un profond respect pour les institutions américaines, les débats en cours à Washington.

La confrontation politique est le sang de la démocratie ; des tribunaux indépendants en sont la garantie. Nous ne doutons pas que le ministère de la Justice agira avec l’indépendance que la démocratie américaine attend, à juste titre, de lui.

Super Intelligence is GOLD

Donald J. Trump

Original

As President, I am 100% in favor of Super Intelligence (SI), and will work with the many States in the U.S. that want to become RICH by having them. They are GOLD, and only foolish leadership will say “NO” to the riches they bring! President DJT

Satire

France welcomes the US President’s interest in artificial intelligence, a field in which French researchers and companies are among the best in the world. We share the conviction that these technologies will bring prosperity.

But France also believes that power only makes sense if it serves people. That is why, with our European partners, we stand for artificial intelligence that is both ambitious and regulated. As for those who hesitate, we do not call them foolish: we invite them to a summit in Paris, and we all come out with a joint declaration.

Version française

La France salue l’intérêt que porte le Président des États-Unis à l’intelligence artificielle, un domaine où nos chercheurs et nos entreprises comptent parmi les meilleurs au monde. Nous partageons la conviction que ces technologies seront une source de prospérité.

Mais la France croit aussi que la puissance n’a de sens que si elle sert l’humain. C’est pourquoi nous défendons, avec nos partenaires européens, une intelligence artificielle à la fois ambitieuse et encadrée. Quant à ceux qui hésitent, nous ne les traitons pas d’insensés : nous les invitons à un sommet à Paris, et nous en sortons avec une déclaration commune.

We would have won in a landslide

Donald J. Trump

Original

I wasn’t on the Ballot and if I was, we would have won IN A LANDSLIDE! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP

Satire

France has followed these midterm elections with the greatest interest: they are a moment of democratic vitality for our oldest ally.

In France, too, the Constitution limits the President to two consecutive terms. We have learned that a leader’s legacy is measured less by the elections he imagines winning than by the institutions he leaves stronger behind him.
