Big Beautiful Flop Making presidential statements presidential again.

United Kingdom · Glasgow, Edinburgh

The Scotland edition

Sharp, ironic and colourful. Invented half the modern world and remains unimpressed by the other half.

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 Scotland version

Scotland (United Kingdom)

Satire

A hundred per cent for super intelligence, me. Any place that wants it will be rolling in gold.

And anyone who says no is a numpty, plain and simple. We already invented half the modern world in Scotland: the telephone, the television, penicillin. I’m just finishing the job. You’re welcome.

In plain English

He’s fully for AI and promises gold to those who adopt it.

Refusers are “numpties” (Scottish for fools), and he reminds everyone how many inventions came from Scots.

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

The Scotland version

Scotland (United Kingdom)

Satire

I wasn’t even on the ballot. And if I had been, we’d have won in a landslide. A proper one, not a wee one.

Mind you, we know a thing or two about results up here. We gave the world the television you watched them on, and the telephone you’d have phoned to complain. Anyone who says I wouldn’t have won? Aye, right. Thanks for your attention to this matter.

In plain English

He wasn’t a candidate, but says he would have won a “proper” landslide, not a “wee” (small) one.

He reminds everyone that Scots gave the world the television (John Logie Baird) and the telephone (Alexander Graham Bell, born in Edinburgh), and answers any doubters with “aye, right”: the famous Scottish double positive that means “no chance”.
