That's from a Spanish-speaking human translator actually translating, not a computer program.

I wish we had more because I doubt the President thinks there is any chance trump will be elected. He invited Trump to Mexico, if that much is true, to school him.


And to sell more pinatas. They are 100% Made in Mexico by authentic Mexican artists.

beat the ever living crap out of one of those this past weekend, and it was glorious! I'll bet if you beat the real thing, you don't get tiny bottles of liquor. One guy at the party insisted it was Bill Clinton, exposing himself in front of everyone as a Trump supporter. He sat with his back to the festivities, pouting as Trump was getting decapitated.

is unworthy of being called a 'translation'.

(And meanwhile the marketeers try to tell us we're about to be overlorded by artificially-intelligent robots)?

When it comes to paying for the border wall, he said, "Remember, I am Enrique Pena Nyet-o."
