Funny Thing Is: Trump Doesn't Understand Russian

[MineralMan]

The two Russians in this photo, though, do speak and understand English. Based on the expressions of those in the photo, it looks to me like the two Russians shared a little joke, spoken in Russian, about the third person in the photo. Trump's expression looks to me like someone who is laughing at something he didn't understand, hoping that his laughter is appropriate. It's not, Donald. They're having you on in their own language, see. You don't understand, but they were talking about you, and they we're mocking you.

Sorry, Donald. You should have had an interpreter in the room. You should also have had some American media folks in the room, instead of just the TASS people. Once again, you blew it and you don't really understand how.

Here's what the Russian Foreign Minister said to the Ambassador. You can use Google Translate to understand it: "Он действительно так же глуп, как ты сказал."

Resign, Mr. President. Just Resign. You're out of your league.

6. From what little I've listened to, he ain't that swift in English, either.

But then, an impeccable command of the Queen's English isn't necessary to influence morons.
