Big Beautiful Flop Making presidential statements presidential again.United Kingdom · Manchester
Direct, witty and slightly sarcastic. Did most things first and will mention it.
Donald J. Trump
OriginalI 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
The Manchester version
Manchester (United Kingdom)
SatireI’m on 60 Minutes tonight. Hopefully they show all the good bits of the last two years, and the first term, which was class, to be fair.
Mind, I know how telly works: you give them an hour and they keep the twelve minutes where you said something daft. So if the Senate could back me up, cheers, that’d be top.
He hopes the interview shows his achievements, and calls his first term “class” (excellent, in Manchester English).
But he knows television editing keeps the embarrassing moments, so he asks the Senate to back him up.
Donald J. Trump
OriginalAs 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 Manchester version
Manchester (United Kingdom)
SatireI’m a hundred per cent for super intelligence, me. Cities that want it will be rolling in it. It’s gold.
And the ones saying no? Daft. Proper daft. We built the first stored-program computer here in 1948, so if anyone knows clever, it’s us.
He’s all for AI: the cities that adopt it will be rolling in money.
Those that refuse are “daft”, and Manchester, home of the first stored-program computer, is happy to say so.
