    If my job was translating what Trump says into another language, I would just quit my job because it would give me a stroke trying to make sense of his verbal diarrhea.

    Because interpreting is not just translating the words-- the words themselves often don’t exist in other languages.

    For example, the word “nice” does not exist in Spanish, so you have to translate what the speaker is trying to convey by contextualizing the word and matching it with words in Spanish that mean convey that same meaning.

    Trump just speaks his train of thought, and that mofo is completely detached from reality.
