Yes and it's really getting to the point where it undoubtedly impacts his ability to perform without an aide basically at his side at all times. Imagine him telling another world leader something insane and the translator having to jump in correct him. Or worse, how can you be sure something he did mean to say was actually something he meant to say and not just another mistake? That kind of communication failure is very dangerous at the highest level.

Man, imagine being the White House translator the next four years. Whoever wins, you'll be stuck there looking apologetically at the guests going "sorry dude, IDK either".

Yes, I spoke with someone earlier today about how communication is VITAL to being president. If he can't communicate, he can't do his job.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
