Big Beautiful Flop Making presidential statements presidential again.

United Kingdom · Leeds, Sheffield, York

The Yorkshire edition

Blunt, understated, practical and self-deprecating. Will consider your proposal once they know what it costs.

Send them directly to me

Donald J. Trump

Original

The threats being made by the Democrat Party against innocent Republican Donors and Party Members are absolutely unprecedented, and totally illegal. Please report them to the Department of Justice, IMMEDIATELY! If you would like, send them directly to me, your President. These SLEAZEBAGS should go to jail for what they are doing. The Senate must act, and stop being pushed around to the point of the Republican Party losing Elections, and worse! Likewise, the DOJ and House of Representatives. Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP

The Yorkshire version

Yorkshire (United Kingdom)

Satire

Threatening letters, is it? Then take them to the police, love. That’s what they’re for. Sending them to the President is a long way to post something, and dear on stamps.

As for “sleazebags” and “jail”, we’d want to hear both sides first. Round here, you don’t call a man a crook till you’ve seen his accounts.

In plain English

Yorkshire’s advice: take threats to the police, not to the President (it would cost a fortune in postage anyway).

And before calling anyone a criminal, look at the evidence.

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 Yorkshire version

Yorkshire (United Kingdom)

Satire

I’m for super intelligence. A hundred per cent. Any place that wants it will get rich: it’s gold.

Them that say no are daft, and I’ll tell them straight. Mind, before I sign owt, I’ll want to see the price. If it’s free, I’ll have two.

In plain English

He backs AI, plainly, the Yorkshire way.

Refusers are daft, and he says so to their face; but he won’t sign “owt” (anything) before he knows the price.
