Rogue POTUS Staff 12h
"...And now he thinks it's because they all were scared of him. But the whole time they were just laughing at him."
HBI 12h
I really want to believe this is true but having trouble believing that PM Tru said this within earshot of WH staff
HBI 12h
It sounds like WH is full of leaks and internal spying, so why would PM Tru say this out loud and risk tattling to Trump?
Katie De La Matter 11h
Why would he say any of it a) at all, and b) in English?
Katie De La Matter 11h
Always. But Occam's razor. And the quote is not his tone.
Rogue POTUS Staff 11h
Again, recheck assumptions. Pols often very different in pvt than what you see in public. We're used to that, but most ppl aren't.
Super Lorna 11h
French IS taught in many US schools, you know.
Brooke Carrera 11h
that's because the "rogue" account is not in washington dc
Katie De La Matter 11h
Yes, but we knew him long b4 he was a pol. All gvt officials spk Fr. Why state obvs in Eng, in WH, not plane, on <1d trip?
scintillaa 11h
even if it was his own staff, in polite society, it's considered rude to exclude anyone from conversation
scintillaa 11h
some of his staff might be FR Canadian, but all of them speak English.
scintillaa 11h
OR RPS is saying they understand conversational FR, which is common for diplomats.
Katie De La Matter 11h
Remember Canadians've known him from childhood, then as a teacher, then activist &c. Our assumptions aren't baseless
Katie De La Matter 11h
It's not French: it's Quebecois. Odds aren't as high that diplomats speak it, esp colloquial.
Rogue POTUS Staff 11h
You are the one saying it was in English. Recheck. Your. Assumptions.
BadCop 11h
and isn't it just like a French speaker to assume that nobody nearby understands French!
Katie De La Matter 11h
And other points? Do aides/cans understand muttered Quebecois in full flow? Does tone not fit perhaps bc it's translated?
Sports 11h
so you must speak French if you knew what he was saying (if he wasn't speaking English)
