Over the weekend, President Donald Trump gave a long, meandering speech at a fundraiser in Bridgehampton, New York, at one point adopting Japanese and South Korean accents to mock the countries’ respective leaders, Shinzo Abe and Moon Jae-in.
According to the New York Post, Trump mimicked Moon giving in on negotiations over defense spending.
Trump later attempted Abe’s accent while imitating the Japanese president’s responses on trade tariffs.
Trump reportedly had kinder words for North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, who he called a “friend” and said from whom he’d just received a “beautiful letter.”
“If I hadn’t been elected president we would be in a big fat juicy war with North Korea,” he said, per the Post.
When I read the headline, I thought for a moment that he had adopted a Canadian accent.
But seriously, how could he tell a Japanese from a South Korean (or North Korean) accent? To him, all those people sound alike.
Talking like a five-year-old again. A five-year-old who thinks he’s being slightly edgy with his language.
How much proof does this country need to determine that Trump is unfit and lacks the required temperament for the office?
Well obviously, Trump is a linguistic genius. He has the best words, so it stands to reason that he has the best accents, too.
