Big Beautiful Flop Making presidential statements presidential again.

United Kingdom · London

The London edition

Sophisticated, urban and dry. Says “interesting” and means something else entirely.

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

The London version

London (United Kingdom)

Satire

Extortion at the highest level, lawfare at another level, weaponization at yet another. One does admire the floor plan.

In London we’d say that’s a lot of levels for one building, and suggest someone check the planning permission. As for ordering the Justice Department about by press release: brave.

In plain English

London teases the President’s “levels”: extortion at the highest level, lawfare at another level, and so on.

And it finds ordering the Justice Department to investigate by public statement rather bold, in the ironic sense.

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 London version

London (United Kingdom)

Satire

I am, for the record, entirely in favour of super intelligence. One hundred per cent. Places that embrace it will become rather rich; it is, frankly, gold.

Those that say no are being foolish, though over here I’d put it more delicately: “brave choice”. Anyway, if it can explain the Tube map, it’s already cleverer than most of us.

In plain English

He backs AI in polished London English, and calls it gold.

Refusing it is foolish, but a Londoner would say “brave choice”, which means the same thing.
