Not to be rhe ten millionth person to say âUSAmerican President Donald Trump Is An Incoherent Public Speaker Whose Train Of Thought Can Be Best Described As Scat Jazzâ but I just remembered that when he talks at international events it is several dozen peopleâs job to translate what heâs saying and what he intends to say to world leaders in real time
And I desperately wish to hear how they do it
If anyone reading this isnât fluent enough in English to understand the sentences that man says, please know that he has essentially mixed a number of adjectives and topics together in a hat and is pulling them out at random like a horrible childrenâs game
Like that waxy jaundiced bitch will straight up be like âJ'ĂŠtais sur internet l'autre jour â internet, la plus grande invention amĂŠricaine. Et la Chine a âinternet aussi. Pas un bon internet, pas comme le mien, j'ai un internet formidable. Les gens me disent : ÂŤ Donald, ton internet est gĂŠnial ! Âť On adore l'internet de Donald. Mais la Chine⌠Chine, Chine, Chine⌠Vous savez qu'ils mangent des oiseaux ? C'est terrible. J'adore les oiseaux. La Chine mange des oiseaux. Pas comme nous. Pas comme mes oiseaux. Mais vous savez, c'est comme ça, et c'est terrible. Mais voilĂ ce que je vais faire : je vais sauver les oiseaux. Je vais sauver internet et sauver les oiseaux. Tous ces magnifiques oiseaux. Pour l'AmĂŠrique. Et la Chine va nous dĂŠtester pour ça. Ils vont nous dĂŠtester parce qu'on est les meilleurs sur oiseauxâ. And people will lose their minds
International translators have had this problem for A While - if they *don't* clean up what he says to sound coherent, they look like they're doing a bad job.
Explore Trump translation challenges, tips for interpreters, and 2025 strategies for accurate political translation and Trumpslation success
oh my god
There was a scandal in Poland because one translator decided to translate him accurately, tone, vocabulary level and word salad tangents and all. Polish conservatives who don't speak English and previously only heard smoothed out translations that sounded coherent and used big words were up in arms about how the translator was "inserting her political agenda", "mocking him", "exaggerating", "purposefully trying to make him look bad" and "incredibly unprofessional". I listened to the translation in question. It was literally just accurate.
5. Sensitive and Controversial Language Trumpâs speeches occasionally contain misogynistic, sexist, or inflammatory language. Japanese interpreter Tsuruta, for example, faced challenges when translating sexualized remarks, ultimately opting for standard terminology to maintain professionalism. Similarly, Chinese translator Kumiko Torikai found certain lewd expressions ethically challenging, ultimately leading to her retirement. Navigating these situations requires skillful balancing of accuracy, professionalism, and cultural sensitivity, ensuring that the translation is appropriate without distorting the original intent.
I don't know why the authors of PoliLingua act as if Trump's verbal misogyny and racism wasn't very much part of his "original intent".
it only now dawns on me that millions of people on this planet think Trump is way smarter than he is because translators have neglected to relate his violent speech accurately out of misunderstood politeness. Make the ape sound like a ape
We had a mini-scandal in the German translation/interpretation community last year about exactly this â the interpreter for the inauguration got sick of Trump's incoherence and made a remark into his mic that was not intended to be heard (here's my post on it).
genuinely I'm so sick of people wanting all fiction to be ethical. can we all just get a little gross with it. the point of fiction is that it's not real. we can be unethical in fiction; same goes with being perverted with fiction, being unrealistic with fiction, and being grotesque with fiction. not all fiction has to be ethical, not every character has to be ethical, and that's okay. can we stop with the puritanism. be gross. be unrealistic. be whatever. if I don't like it it's not my business as long as we're all clear that its fictional.
via ered.bsky.social, the only kinds of unethical fiction:
people in the replies are going "what about books glorifying unethical things" and "what if it's propaganda" and you, my friends, are who this comic was made for

feminist killjoy hours again, what the actual fuck is âweird girl literatureâ and how often do we acquiesce to the latest degrading gendered advertising campaigns
Women did not fucking pioneer horror, thriller, and science fiction as we know it for publishing to infantilize it into a high school phase
is Stephen king âweird boy literatureâ? Or does he get to be an adult horror novelist?

we simply are not making it out of this one alive fellow pervs
I. What?
âyou are watching someone be vulnerable and intimate without their immediate knowledgeâ
um. wut. no. u are watching actors. who were filmed WITH THEIR KNOWLEDGE AND CONSENT. like. they very much do know they are doing a movie scene. on camera. for a film. that will be watched. huh????Â
I mean if you're going to think about characters that way you also shouldn't be listening in on their private conversations or following them around watching them (stalking!) or going inside their homes without invitation or watching their medical procedures or
Someone with this philosophy is only allowed to watch things set 100% in public places where dialogue is only audible when people are shouting I guess.
This isn't going to become some anomalous method of arresting people. They will be shocking people like this as a matter of course.
Luckily thick clothing will insulate you from the shock.
They will 100% use this to torture people they're trying to arrest, and then when people struggle in response to the pain they will use that automatic human response as an excuse to execute them in the streets. absolutely insane to even consider giving this to any cop, let alone ICE!
another defense against this is a gun
The information age is turning on itself. The Internet has curdled into disinformation machine. AI has made weird academics who command a library's worth of genuine knowledge and expertise more important than ever, not less.
You could say⌠our age of information is collapsingâŚ
sorry, prev, your tags are too true to be silenced
there is this really specific thing that very Online women of a certain age (mostly older millennials and younger gen x in my experience) who are married to a man will do where they will refer to their husbands as "Mr. (Part of My Username)"
so like if the username is something like "dancingwithbears" they'll refer to their husband as "Mr. Bears"
i think it is extremely charming

CC and IWTB's Romance: Changing Tune (2008-2026)
*Note*: This isn't a hit piece, merely a critical analysis.
Chris Carter now claims, in 2026, that when IWTB was first filmed, he wanted less romance-- that it was the producers at Fox who wanted more MSR.
August 7, 2026: Q: So what were the producers expecting?
CC: I really felt that they didnât know the show. They knew it was a popular show. They knew that we had done well with the first movie. So they said to us, âDo something for a third of the price, and make us a good, scary PG-13 movie.â We thought we had done that. Then they wanted to lay heavily into the Mulder and Scully romance, and thatâs because they didnât know [that in] the show we would parcel that out. [...]
Q: Thereâs not much romance in the directorâs cut. Why is that?
CC: We made the reboot Seasons, 10 and 11, between 2008 and now, and I thought people had gotten their fill of the Mulder-Scully romance, so cutting that back felt natural. It felt like it put the weight on the proper things in the storytelling. [...]
Q: Were you ever happy with the 2008 cut?
CC: I always felt that they forced me to shoehorn that Mulder-Scully relationship in there and that it took away from the scares. When we did the X-Files series, the relationship is something we always touched on in passing; it was part of the storytelling, but it wasnât the object of the storytelling. I was always unhappy with the way that I was forced to do that.
Yet back in 2008, he willingly marketed romance to the audience and took credit for it.
July 21(?), 2008: [On the "little something for that" scene]
CC: It was there, just waiting to be, uh, exploited. Inserted, I should say.
DD and GA: [Negating improv] It was in the script.
CC: He [Duchovny] added the "thanks." The line was written.
Interviewer: So Carter gets all the credit?
DD and GA: Yeah, yeah.
July 22? (YouTube 23rd), 2008: DD: But Chris always said, "This is-- this movie, at the heart is the relationship." And I was like, "Not really." But now that I've seen it, and now that I talk to people about it, he's, he's completely right. That, that the heart of the movie is the relationship; and that's kind of what separates it from other suspense movies or thrillers.
