Just for fun I ran the first two paragraphs of this [speech](https://www.rev.com/blog/transcripts/donald-trump-speech-on-election-fraud-claims-transcript-december-2) through Google Translate. From English to Russian to Slovenian back to English. > Blockquote > Thank you. It may be the most important speech I have ever done. I would like to provide updates to our constant efforts to set a lot of cheats of voters and irregularities that have emerged among the funny long third elections in November. We had what was appointed, an election day. Now we have electoral days, weeks and months, and many bad things happened in this lime time, especially when you need to show almost nothing to train our major privilege, the right to vote. As President, I do not have large obligations, as if it would protect the laws and the United States Constitution. That is why I am full of determination to protect our electoral system, which is now under a harmonious attack and siege. > Blockquote > For several months that lead to the presidential election, we were warned that they should not declare premature victories. We again told that it will take weeks, if not, months to find the winner to consider correspondent newsletters and check the results. My opponent was said to avoid elections, but not a campaign. "You don’t need. We have this. This election is made. "In fact, they acted as though they were already knew what would be. They were covered and perhaps, they were, very sad for our country. It was very wonderful. For a few days after the election we witnessed organized efforts for the winner’s cottage Although there were still many key countries. ---

Trump’s performance at this weekend’s Ohio “Pity Party” rally has not enhanced his reputation for either ‘mental fitness’ or ‘ability to read a teleprompter’: > Apparently the teleprompter _actually_ read something like ‘sent a brave young man from Ohio to plant the Stars and Stripes on the moon.’ But Trump couldn’t save himself; he plainly couldn’t come up with the name “Neil Armstrong,” and so just flailed. More on the list of Donald’s flubs at that rally here: > **[WATCH: Trump Consistently Struggles to Read Teleprompter During Grievance...](https://hillreporter.com/watch-trump-consistently-struggles-to-read-teleprompter-during-grievance-laden-speech-105143)** > > WATCH: Trump Consistently Struggles to Read Teleprompter During Grievance Laden Speech _Donald’s Brain: Just as Goodly As It Ever Was!!!_ ---

I hope you guys realize that the rest of the world looks at what you did in 2016. We’re going to take that into account with every single treaty, agreement, meeting, conference, G7 Summit, etc. The underlying caution will be " These people have the potential to be completely fucking nuts." When history is written one hundred years from now, I’m confident that 2016 will be cited as the year that the United States Empire began its fall into obscurity. ---

I will not be surprised if this is an argument on the 2116 equivalent of the SDMB. “1975 is when the US began it fall into irrelevance!” “It was the election of 2016, asshole” “Idiot!” “Piss off!” ---

I offer it as a possibility that it is an on-going process, with no clearly defined start point, but some noticeable milestones.
