> [@Shoeless](#): > > You know how Key & Peele had Luther, Obama’s “anger translator”? Trump needs a gibberish translator, so when he spews out random word salad what we get is something that is actually coherent. Yes! And Trump’s translator should be a 5-year-old boy. **Trump** : I’ll give you an example. I called, as you know, Mexico. It was a very, very confidential, classified call. But I called Mexico. And in calling Mexico, I figured, oh, well that’s — I spoke to the president of Mexico; I had a good call. All of a sudden, it’s out there for the world to see. It’s supposed to be secret. It’s supposed to be either confidential or classified, in that case. **5-year-old boy** : I’m a big boy! ---
