Big Beautiful Flop Making presidential statements presidential again.

United Kingdom · Liverpool, Merseyside

The Liverpool edition

Expressive, familiar, funny and outspoken. Will call you “lad” and tell you exactly what they think.

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

The Liverpool version

Liverpool (United Kingdom)

Satire

I’ve offered Dana White the press secretary job, lad. Proper fighter. Told him to bring his mates, a few of them not from round here, to sort out the Lunatic Left.

A press office full of fighters? Sounds like a Saturday night in town. Dana, go ’ed, take the job. And bring Khabib round ours for a brew.

In plain English

He’s hired a real fighter as press secretary, with his mates as backup.

In Liverpool, a room full of fighters just sounds like a night out; he invites them all over for a cup of tea.

Version française

In British English, a “brew” is a cup of tea, which suits Khabib Nurmagomedov, who does not drink alcohol.

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

The Liverpool version

Liverpool (United Kingdom)

Satire

Super intelligence, lad? I’m all for it, a hundred per cent. Any city that wants it is gonna be minted. It’s gold.

And the ones saying no? Soft, that is. Proper soft. Last thing that made this city rich was four fellas with guitars, so if this can write a song half as good, I’ll have two.

In plain English

He’s fully for AI: the cities that adopt it will be “minted”, very rich.

Refusers are “soft”, Liverpool for foolish. And he’ll take two if it can write songs like the Beatles.
