Partly Facetious: Trump fond of adjectives

08 Jun, 2017

"I cannot understand the American public."
"Well, Trump is a handful I grant you - as a President, as a father, as a husband, as a television host..."
"He isn't a handful as a real estate mogul and..."
"Depends on how you define a handful. And if it's success then he has been successful in pretty much everything he has touched - he got elected in spite of all surveys showing Hillary Clinton as the clear winner, she even got about 3 million more votes than him and lost, all his children support him, why even his ex-wives support him, and I won't even mention his success in business and the ratings for his show were consistently high..."
"That's precisely my point. I mean what I can't understand about the US public is why they are upset at his decision to fire people in his administration when his long successful show as you mentioned was all about firing..."
"The other more than half of the public that didn't vote for him are the ones criticising him and the fake news channels..."
"I love the way you absorb jargon...next you will be using covfefe (an amalgam of letters used by Trump in one of his tweets that had the country buzzing as to its possible meaning) as a verb."
"I thought Trump likes adjectives more than verbs - you know give an opinion rather than talk of action in his tweets."
"I was actually thinking Pakistan when I said verb because here everything is about action."
"I was wondering what would happen if Mian sahib begins to host a reality show titled Apprentice?"
"If you think he will learn to fire people you are mistaken."
"But..."
"He will soon have so many people on the show who should be fired but are not that the show producers would have to shut it down as they wouldn't be able to afford to pay an ever increasing number."
"Ha, ha, what about ratings?"
"People are people all over the world - I think we would, like the Americans, love to see some firing. One question though do you think Apprentice would be an appropriate shows' name?"
"No, let's adapt it... how about The Nawalas?"
"Well, many of these nawalas kind of disappear when he is not in power so..."
"How about the kitchenette, you know from the kitchen cabinet?"
"You have to narrow it down!"
"I know, how about samdhi?"
"Now you are being facetious."
