    Y’know I could see this being done by a third party in an attempt to portray the GOP as not caring about Hispanics (Not that they do care lol)

      Covfefe is Classical Latin, not Vulgar Latin which is what the plebeians speak.

    Honestly it’s completely readable as someone who can understand Spanish, but it feels otherworldly for some reason, like I’m reading a quite not right version of Spanish, like reading Afrikaans to a Dutch speaker.

      As someone who understands English, this is how I feel when Trump tries to speak English.

    I bet this was some sort of gen AI mishap: “translate this campaign text to Latin”, because of course Latinos speak Latin, and it’s called Latin America too!

    Although this would be twice as hilarious if they hired a translator who just went “🤷 ah well, money is money”

      if they hired a translator who just went “🤷 ah well, money is money”

      Probably a Latini…

      Anyways, this reminds me when the series Homeland filmed at a location that was supposed to be a syrian refugee camp and hired arab speaking graffiti artists to “add authenticity” and they wrote things like “Homeland is racist” and “BlackLivesMatter” and shit like it instead of the requested “Pro -Assad” messages… https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2015/oct/15/homeland-is-racist-artists-subversive-graffiti-tv-show

      or just scrolling through a drop down list of languages and saw Latin before Spanish.
