Every question is a hit job

Donald J. Trump

Original

The FoxNews Poll, always the worst, is so insulting with the questions they ask. Every question is a hit job, and every answer is "BULLSHIT!" This has been going on for years. President DONALD J. TRUMP

The presidential version

The American President

Satire

I have long had concerns about the way the Fox News poll frames its questions. The wording of a question shapes the answer, and I do not believe these surveys reflect the views of many Americans.

Polls come and go. Today, the only one that counts is the vote, and I encourage every American to cast theirs.

Version française

Depuis longtemps, la manière dont le sondage de Fox News formule ses questions me préoccupe. La formulation d’une question oriente la réponse, et je ne crois pas que ces enquêtes reflètent l’opinion de nombreux Américains.

Les sondages passent. Aujourd’hui, le seul qui compte, c’est le vote, et j’invite chaque Américain à aller voter.

Around the world

Switzerland & France

Genevois (Switzerland)

Satire

Le sondage de Fox News, toujours le pire, avec des questions qui me vexent. Chaque question est un coup monté, et chaque réponse, c’est « des foutaises ! ». Et ça dure depuis des années.

Remarquez, à Genève, on a l’habitude des grandes conférences où chacun trouve les questions de l’autre insultantes. On en tire une déclaration finale de quarante pages, on la signe au bord du lac, et le soir tout le monde dîne ensemble. Moi, je veux bien signer : à condition qu’on supprime les questions.

English version

The Fox News poll, always the worst, with questions that offend me. Every question is a set-up, and every answer is “nonsense!”. And it’s been going on for years.

Mind you, in Geneva we’re used to big conferences where everyone finds the other side’s questions insulting. We turn it into a forty-page final declaration, sign it by the lake, and in the evening everyone has dinner together. I’m happy to sign: as long as they drop the questions.

Fribourgeois (Switzerland)

Satire

Le sondage de Fox News, toujours le pire, me pose des questions insultantes. Chaque question est un coup monté, et chaque réponse, c’est « n’importe quoi ! ». Ça dure depuis des années.

Chez nous, à la Bénichon, il y a un sondage tous les ans, avec une seule question : « Encore un peu de cuchaule avec la moutarde ? » Personne ne la trouve insultante, et tout le monde répond oui. Voilà un sondage sérieux. Fox News devrait venir voir comment on fait.

English version

The Fox News poll, always the worst, asks me insulting questions. Every question is a set-up, and every answer is “rubbish!”. It’s been going on for years.

Round here, at the Bénichon, there’s a poll every year, with just one question: “A bit more cuchaule with the mustard?” Nobody finds it insulting, and everybody says yes. Now that’s a serious poll. Fox News should come and see how it’s done.

Ch’ti (France)

Satire

Le sondage de Fox News, toujours le pire, avec ses questions qui m’insultent. Chaque question, c’est un coup monté, et chaque réponse, c’est « des carabistouilles ! ». Et ça dure depuis des années, biloute.

Chez nous, si un sondeur sonne à la porte, on le fait entrer, on lui sert un café et une part de tarte au sucre, et à la fin, c’est lui qui répond à nos questions. Fox News, viens donc à la maison : on causera, et tu repartiras avec la bonne réponse.

English version

The Fox News poll, always the worst, with questions that insult me. Every question is a set-up, and every answer is “codswallop!”. And it’s been going on for years, mate.

Round here, if a pollster rings the bell, we invite him in, give him a coffee and a slice of sugar tart, and by the end he’s the one answering our questions. Fox News, come on round: we’ll have a chat, and you’ll leave with the right answer.

Lyonnais (France)

Satire

Le sondage de Fox News, toujours le pire, me pose des questions insultantes. Chaque question est un coup monté, et chaque réponse, c’est « des bêtises ! ». Ça dure depuis des années.

À Lyon, on connaît ce théâtre : c’est Guignol. Le gendarme pose les questions, et Guignol répond à coups de bâton. Les enfants applaudissent depuis deux siècles. Moi, je fais pareil avec Fox News, et franchement, les gones, j’attends toujours les applaudissements.

English version

The Fox News poll, always the worst, asks me insulting questions. Every question is a set-up, and every answer is “twaddle!”. It’s been going on for years.

In Lyon we know this show: it’s Guignol. The policeman asks the questions, and Guignol answers with a stick. Children have been clapping for two centuries. I do the same with Fox News, and frankly, guys, I’m still waiting for the applause.

United States

New York (United States)

Satire

The Fox News poll, always the worst. The questions? Insulting. Every one’s a hit job, and every answer is a word I can’t repeat, and believe me, I’ve heard them all on the subway.

This has been going on for years. You want a real poll? Get in a cab. The driver will tell you what he thinks of everybody, for free, whether you asked or not.

In plain English

He calls the Fox News poll the worst and its questions insulting, and says the answer to every one is a word he would rather not repeat (New Yorkers have heard them all on the subway).

His idea of a real poll: a New York taxi driver, who gives his opinion on everything without being asked.

Deep South (United States)

Satire

Now, I don’t like to speak ill of anybody, but the Fox News poll, bless its heart, is always the worst. Every question they ask is just plain ugly, and every answer is a word my mama would have washed out with soap.

This has been going on for years. A gentleman never holds a grudge. He just remembers everything, forever. More sweet tea?

In plain English

Southern politeness at its most dangerous: “bless its heart” sounds kind and means the opposite. He finds the questions “ugly” (rude) and the answer unprintable.

He claims not to hold grudges, while making it clear he forgets nothing, and offers you more iced tea.

United Kingdom

Wales (United Kingdom)

Satire

The Fox News poll, always the worst, with insulting questions. Every one’s a hit job, and every answer is something you wouldn’t say in chapel.

Been going on for years, mind. Here we’d settle it properly: a male voice choir, four-part harmony, and the answer sung so loud nobody can hear the question. Tidy.

In plain English

He finds the poll’s questions insulting and the answer unfit for chapel, the Welsh nonconformist church at the heart of village life.

His solution: drown out the question with a Welsh male voice choir. “Tidy” is Welsh English for “good, sorted”.

The Diplomat

The American President is just above. Here, the other statesmen.

The British Diplomat

Satire

His Majesty’s Government has noted the President’s views on the Fox News poll, and on the wording of its questions.

In Britain, too, polls are occasionally wrong, and politicians occasionally say so. It is customary, however, to wait until the results are in.

What he really means

He does not like the questions.

We suspect he has seen the answers.

The French Diplomat

Satire

France considers the freedom to ask questions, including uncomfortable ones, to be the very foundation of public debate.

We would gently add that in France, polls may not be published on the day before the vote or on polling day itself. The rule spares candidates a great deal of irritation, and voters a great deal of noise.

Version française

La France considère la liberté de poser des questions, y compris les plus dérangeantes, comme le fondement même du débat public.

Nous ajouterons, avec douceur, qu’en France, aucun sondage ne peut être publié la veille ni le jour du scrutin. Cette règle épargne aux candidats bien des agacements, et aux électeurs bien du bruit.

The Swiss President

Satire

The Federal Council takes note of the President’s views on opinion polls.

In Switzerland, the people answer the real questions themselves, up to four times a year, in popular votes. The questions are sometimes long and difficult, and voters sometimes find them irritating. They answer anyway, and the Federal Council respects the answer, whatever it is.

Version française

Le Conseil fédéral prend acte de l’avis du Président sur les sondages d’opinion.

En Suisse, c’est le peuple qui répond lui-même aux vraies questions, jusqu’à quatre fois par an, lors des votations. Les questions sont parfois longues et difficiles, et les électeurs les trouvent parfois agaçantes. Ils répondent quand même, et le Conseil fédéral respecte la réponse, quelle qu’elle soit.
