Trolling down sidewalk...Alec Baldwin taunts Trump with fake Make America Great Again hat





Alec Baldwin obviously isn't going to back down any time soon, poking fun at Trump's admiration for Vladimir Putin in a Russian language version of his famous Make America Great Again cap.

with the proceeds going to Planned Parenthood, the ACLU, the SPLC, and so forth.

I know a lot of people would "put in" an order for one.

Get it? "Put in" an order for one?

Эдорово

which Google translates as 'awesome' - but gives it an an interjection, ie "awesome!" "That's great!" etc. A Russian speaker might say whether it's OK to use it as a simple adjective too.

I spent a little time trying to cut-and-paste letters from the Russian alphabet to create the third word for translation back to English, but I gave up on it.

I thought it MIGHT be a Russian word for "hate" or "stupid," but it apparently means essentially the same thing as "great."

Thanks again!

Jan 2017

The hat doesn't say Эдорово, but rather здороово, which means "healthy."

The whole thing sounds like someone used a google translator, but just the idea is kinda funny. Considering his choice for EPA head, making America healthy seems to be the last thing on his mind, anyway.

(there isn't a double 'о', though).

A dictionary with examples seems to show it can be used for a situation being 'really good': http://dictionary.reverso.net/russian-english/%D0%B7%D0%B4%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%BE/forced

Wiktionary says it's also the short neuter singular (is that right for 'America'?) of здоро́вый , for which it gives
healthy, sound
strong, robust
wholesome, salubrious
big, large

If that makes it the adjective for 'bigly', it seems quite an appropriate choice.

But I'm only familiar with the colloquial use in a few areas (Moscow, Siberia, SPB), and in a country that vast, there might be some areas where it is used to mean that.

A standard Russian version of "take care" when taking leave of someone, for example is "будь здоров (stay healthy)." The double "o" was MY typo! I think I spend too much time in the Netherlands these days.

It's an interjection, not adjective.

It's a completely botched translation

When I originally saw it, about ten minutes ago, they'd sold 11. I just looked again, and it's up to 33. I hope they do well.

When my SS gets posted in a few days, I'm going to order one. Since, for all I know, it may be the LAST deposit, I might as well buy something worthwhile.

So I ordered one.

We know Trumpsky likes to keep Shitlists. The thought occurred to me as I was placing my order that something like this would be an easy way for the asscarrot to collect more names of those who don't think he's a yummy hot fudge sundae with oysters on top.

So, see y'all at Gitmo. I'll be the one wearing a red hat.

They've been rehearsing for tonight's show and he likely took it home with him.

I know Baldwin doesn't want to be typecast as Trump, but he does it sooo well. Baldwin should worry too. I think Sarah Palin every time I see Tina Fey.

They are both great comedians and actors. Baldwin has a great body of work behind him and I don't think anyone will forget that.
