It’s sometimes hard to understand government officials in the Trump Administration. One day they say one thing and the next day they deny they ever said it, or they have a different spin on it. A case in point is Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney. One day he admitted that the administration's arrangement with Ukraine was a quid pro quo. Within 24 hours he said no it wasn’t. How do we understand what was said? I think the Trump Administration needs an official translator.
Here are some examples on how a translator my translate some historic quotes:
“I am not a crook.” This comment was from President Nixon.
Official Translation: “According to the constitution, I am innocent until proven guilty.”
“I did not have sex with that woman.” This comment was from President Clinton.
Official Translation: “A blowjob is an executive perk, not sex.”
“No quid pro quo...” This came from President Trump several times.
Official Translation: “Quid pro quo is Latin. I don’t know Latin.”
“My administration has accomplished more than almost any administration in the history of our country,” President Trump told the United Nations in September 2018.
Official Translation: “My administration has told more lies and falsehood than almost any administration in the history of our country,”
No doubt, an official translator will clarify what Trump Administration officials say.
