@RoguePOTUSStaff I really want to believe this is true but having trouble believing that PM Tru said this within earshot of WH staff

@RoguePOTUSStaff 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?

@SuzyWhatever @RoguePOTUSStaff Why would he say any of it a) at all, and b) in English?

@RoguePOTUSStaff @katiedlm OR RPS is saying they understand conversational FR, which is common for diplomats.

@LoriScintillaa @RoguePOTUSStaff It's not French: it's Quebecois. Odds aren't as high that diplomats speak it, esp colloquial.

@RoguePOTUSStaff Not at all the same? I'm surprised (but pleased) if WH aides are fluent in Quebecois to overhear JT say such odd stuff.

@RoguePOTUSStaff Translation wld give an explanation for why the tone of the quote is off, thought it might be helpful too.

@Mess_OfMe French people (from France) don't understand Quebecois when they first hear it. It's not the same

@katiedlm leterally, speaking French helps one in their quest to become a Canadian citizen. They must be at least similar.

@katiedlm it makes no sense that @RoguePOTUSStaff won't ID themselves 2 real journalists who can vouch they're real & keep IDs a secret.

@Mess_OfMe Oh yes -Quebecois is French. But the dialect&accent(s) are so diff from EU French that it's v hard to understand as a non-speaker
