Trump: If Biden Wins, You'll 'Have To Learn To Speak Chinese'

[TomCADem]

Source: Huffington Post

President Donald Trump continued his xenophobic warnings about China on Tuesday, claiming that if he loses the election, everyone in the U.S. will have to learn to speak Chinese.

"Look, China will own the United States if this election is lost by Donald Trump," he said in an interview with conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt. "If I don't win the election, China will own the United States. You're going to have to learn to speak Chinese, you want to know the truth."

Demonizing China has been central to Trump's reelection campaign ever since the coronavirus pandemic took hold. The president and his allies have attempted to shift attention away from the White House's actions by blaming China for the global pandemic.

In late January, Trump put restrictions on travelers from China. And he has repeatedly referred to the coronavirus as the "China virus" and "kung flu." Yet for weeks, beginning in late January, Trump still praised Chinese officials for their response to the virus.

I wonder whether before the end of the day if Trump will also claim that Biden will impose Sharia law, since Trump is in a racist, sexist frenzy today.

[Cha]

18. Throwing Shit against the wall & none of it is sticking.. it's all

going back on his big ugly ASSFACE.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

34. My older sister had dementia, too. It was sad to watch her mind deteriorate.

The only difference I see between her and Trump is that Barb occasionally had periods of lucidity.

Oh, that and the fact she didn't have control of the most powerful nuclear arsenal in the history of the world.

[AZ8theist]

49. The musings of an imbecile...

3. Trump is so sad....

Such a sad, and weak little handed man.

[Butterflylady]

4. And here I was boning up on my russian instead of my Chinese!

[Collimator]

14. Yep. Thinking along those same lines.

I took Russian in college decades ago. I remember hello, good, bad, thank you and paper. That last will come in handy because --in other countries when they ask to see identification, they don't say "I.D.", they say, "Papers". (It's "boo-mogi" btw.)

But hey, we can all watch episodes of Firefly if we want to pick up a little Chinese.

[area51]

65. Yay, Firefly!

Best gorram series in the 'Verse.

[Cartaphelius]

5. Can't be worse

than learning criminality for idiots.

[DinahMoeHum]

6. If Trump wins again, we'll have to learn to speak Russian. . .

[marble falls]

7. Better and easier than learning Covefe.

[agingdem]

8. did he say "you want to know the truth"?

he wouldn't know the truth if it bit him on his fat ass..."learn to speak Chinese"...is that supposed to be some kind of a threat?...I watch a lot of asian tv...I've picked up a few words here and there...like I know how to say depraved narcissistic sociopathic asshole in Chinese..the word is easy as hell to pronounce...Trump...

[Blue Owl]

9. Hey Donny where was that MAGA hat made?

n/t

[NCDem47]

10. Nevermind Trump, his kids and McConnell are up to their eyeballs in needing China

to help build personal wealth.

[PatSeg]

11. He is really sounding desperate and pitiful

Is that really the best he can come up with? "You'll have to learn to speak Chinese"? What a sad, sorry excuse for a human being.

[bucolic_frolic]

12. What has Trumpskaya been feeding this Bonehead?

[klook]

13. Remind me -- How many trademarks has the Chinese government granted Ivanka Trump?

[NCjack]

22. If I learn Chinese, I can read Ivanka's TMs in the original Chinese language. nt

[Evolve Dammit]

15. He was fawning all over Xi in January. Piss off, Orange boy.

[SergeStorms]

60. Exactly.

They were best buds, on each other's Christmas card list. Trump found out Xi wants Biden to win the election. Someone sane he can work with. He's sick of Trump's bullshit regarding trade.

[Evolve Dammit]

61. Yep. Somebody sane...

[Bengus81]

16. Atta boy Donnie...keep writing those commercials for Biden and the Lincoln Project

It's really non stop.............

[IronLionZion]

17. Millions of Americans will get sick and there will be political unrest in many cities

Americans will be banned from traveling to most of the world... oh wait....

[0rganism]

19. not a bad idea really, wouldn't hurt to know how to speak the language of a billion humans

tried learning a bit about 20 years ago but tonal language is difficult
perhaps a Biden win would inspire me to try again

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

20. Is Chinese harder than Russian?

[samsingh]

23. instead of Russian? or Saudi Arabian Arabic?

[CaptainTruth]

24. Reality: China owns $1.1 trillion of our debt & Trump/GOP are creating trillions more debt.

If GOP supply-side ("trickle down&quot economic policies continue, China WILL own the United States.

Everything Trump says is the opposite of reality.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

25. We should repeat it, but always with a laugh or at least a wink: "You'll have to learn Chinese"

Repetition is the essence of propaganda. Repeating the statement at odd times or during political discussions reminds people of how stupid tRump is.

Stepping out of the way when your opponent is making an error is the essence of tactics.

[Stallion]

26. If Biden Wins We'll All be Living in a Van Down by the River

&list=RDA7sEIz4lazI&index=6

[abakan]

27. Any time he he says something this laughable,

we should all laugh in his face, on twitter, and facebook. I would like to see
the Lincoln Project make an ad that shows him saying something this stupid
with a laugh track. One of the things that gets to him is to be laughed at.

[maxsolomon]

32. It would only mean something if those in the room did.

When we twitter about his idiocy, he thinks it equals "ratings".

[rickford66]

28. How do you say "Have a large slice of beautiful chocolate cake ?" in Chinese.

That's all you need to know to deal with China .... apparently.

[Paladin]

29. Unfair! trump didn't have to learn English to be president. (nt)

[maxsolomon]

30. The boy who cried wolf

I already wish I knew Mandarin.

[catsudon]

31. not an issue for me

i speak Chinese already, and i hate ccp.

here is hoping our next president, that is, president biden will be just as harsh on china.

[duforsure]

33. Coming from a serial liar , who has allowed putin to put a bounty on our service people,

And refused to do anything to protect us from the virus , and now has caused us to be nearing a depression. The only reason he's attacking China like this is because they refused to allow him to corrupt them , and help him get re-elected. Russia and putin hasn't. He knows he's losing badly , so expect these kinds of stupid statements , and claims, and next will be threats if he isn't re-elected, against Americans, and he's already killed 160,000 so far.

[onetexan]

35. I'm trying to LEARN Chinese, and it's damn difficult. This ignorant Fool can't even speak English

much less speak another language.

[lunasun]

36. Republicans listen to this shit . With Hillary it was Central American immigrants will kill you and

a taco truck on every corner and caravans at the border .
Now with Biden it starts with China will own the United States. You’re going to have to learn to speak Chinese.
Even his campaign xenophobia is lame this year .
His voters are stupid, lazy and greedy they don’t care who owns them. I don’t see the fear trigger the radio show needed to send out with his interview plus his family and MAGA hat are connected to China .
He has no new appeal .
He already failed with BLM as more people who look like him say yes BLM .
If only he took on a hysteria with the real fear , which he continues to avoid, that he has put the USA in years long battle with Covid 19 . He refuses a centralized government lead why?
If he wants to fight China, why not have the US lead the world on how to erase a deadly virus as a nation?
He is weakening his connection
How many on the fence or new voters’ concerns have in their top 5 anything about China
right now ? Trumpers ?
Maybe I’m wrong.

[BlueIdaho]

37. If Shitler wins, we'll have to learn Russian. nt.

[iscooterliberally]

38. This reminds me that I have to get on Duolingo as soon as my ipad charges up.

Chinese is one of the languages that I'm trying out. I'm just doing it for fun though. Duolingo is great!

[DesertRat]

39. I'd gladly learn Chinese or Klingon if it meant a Biden win

[Grins]

40. Old, old joke.

I think I heard it in the late 70's, post Vietnam, post Nixon.

"In America the pessimist learns Russian. The realist learns Chinese."

(Could be "optimist" but close enough.)

[Vinca]

41. Oddly, I've been thinking of learning Chinese in order to communicate better with a couple

of fellows I sell antiques to. I have to admit to being really intimidated by it - it looks like a very difficult language to master.

[rlegro]

42. We're already learning Chinese

... just the way in the '60s our diplomats, businessmen, and others began learning Russian. It's the only way to keep abreast of world events. Besides, Americans who already know one foreign language might eventually be able to learn and decipher the train-work language that is Trumpish. It's hard because it's equal measures of Dick & Jane, Russian, and crazy.

[usaf-vet]

43. I love hanging out with you DU folks...... LOL.

I read these type answers BEFORE I could think of anything to say.

Better than Russian

Better than Saudi Arabian Arabic

Better than Covefe

But the LOL winner was:
Unfair! trump didn't have to learn English to be president.

When my wife hears me LOL and chocking on my coffee she says "You are reading DU aren't you?"

Thanks for the laughs.

[DavidDvorkin]

44. The more such nonsense he babbles, the better it is for us.

[IcyPeas]

45. oh yeah, well read this mother fuker

他妈的你唐纳德·特朗普

[Richard D]

46. Chinese is . . .

. . . so much prettier than Russian.

[Kaiserguy]

47. Since Trump has been in office

I have had to learn how to translate stupid into English as Trump doesn't ever say anything that makes much sense.

[sinkingfeeling]

48. Don't they already own the US, with MF45 running up $trillions in debt to them?

[rurallib]

50. I haven't learned racist from Trump's presidency

[DanieRains]

51. If Trump Is Re-Elected We Will Have To Learn To Pitch Tents To Live In

So there.

[SiliconValley_Dem]

52. this is what Trump reminds me if right now

https://m.

[Javaman]

53. he further expanded his comments to say that, "you will be forced to where your pants backwards!"

he's nothing more than useless human filler.

[duforsure]

54. He knows if Biden wins

He'll be learning prison talk.

[McCamy Taylor]

55. This is so racist. China is our biggest trade partner.

Why should not we learn Mandarin?

[keithbvadu2]

56. Trump lost millions of American jobs but was worried about Chinese jobs.

"Too many jobs in China lost," Trump tweeted... Such concern!

ZTE, a company involved in hacking American cyber security.


A $500 million loan to Trump related projects works wonders to make America protect Chinese jobs.

Too bad our coal miners did not think of that.

[roamer65]

57. I'd rather speak Mandarin than Russian.

FUCK TRUMP AND FUCK PUTIN.

Dumb fuck doesn’t realize there isn’t an actual “Chinese” language. Mandarin is the “official” dialect of out of many.

[muriel_volestrangler]

58. Nyet, tovarishch (nt)

[Initech]

59. And if Trump wins we'll all have to learn to speak Russain.

NYET!!!

[Dopers_Greed]

62. The "Biden is a Chinese shill" talking point is ridiculous

Trump has been a gift to China and Russia. He has yielded America's place in the world to them.

[dalton99a]

63. Trump shows Xi and Peng video clips of his granddaughter Arabella Kushner singing in Mandarin

[Claire Oh Nette]

64. So Mandarin, right?

How will we order from the taco trucks on every corner if we'll all be speaking Mandarin?

Americans are barely lingual, let along bi-lingual and tri-lingual. Sad, sad, sad, how much fear of the other stunts one's growth...

[olddad65]

66. This is coming from an idiot that can't speak english

[Buckeye_Democrat]

67. If he's not declared the most embarrassing President...

... by future historians, then my guess is that it's only because the USA turned full-fascist at some point.

[maryellen99]

68. Trump is itching to start WW3 with China nt

[maxrandb]
