"Ich bin ein Hamburger!"

According to multiple sources close to the White House, we have learned that Fake President Donald J. Trump has been rehearsing that line for weeks, just in case he has any opportunity to address the public at the G20 summit. He got the idea from JFK, I understand, and is hoping he gets a chance to use the line. Despite his Germanic last name, The Fake Drumpf leader has great difficulty pronouncing the "ch" sound in German, so he's been getting voice coaching to help him get it right.

Watch for him to speak those history-making words at the earliest opportunity. However it remains unknown whether he will have any public speaking opportunities at this event.

Again, though, he'd have to be coached on the correct pronunciation of "Colonel."

We know he is intimately familiar with the one. The other undoubtedly had to be carefully explained to him by an aide for hours, using picture cards and short, easy-to-understand phrases.

For those who don't speak German, that means something that comes from down below sitting on your shoulders.
