What Would You Do to Avoid Talking to Trump?

Would you go as far as the wife of the prime minister of Japan?

In a (bizarre, terrifying) interview with the NYT (in which he also confused health insurance with the Gerber Life Plan -- I am not kidding), Trump said this:

So, I was seated next to the wife of Prime Minister Abe [Shinzo Abe of Japan], who I think is a terrific guy, and she’s a terrific woman, but doesn’t speak English.

HABERMAN: Like, nothing, right? Like zero?

TRUMP: Like, not “hello.”

HABERMAN: That must make for an awkward seating.

TRUMP: Well, it’s hard, because you know, you’re sitting there for——

HABERMAN: Hours.

TRUMP: So the dinner was probably an hour and 45 minutes.

Which, ok, except for one little thing. That's the wife of the prime minister giving a keynote address. In English.

In addition, she was in the States the last time her husband met with Trump, at Mar a Lago (the chocolate cake bombing) which I remembered, because I recalled Melania saying they'd discussed gardening, when the two women toured the botanical gardens together -- talking. About gardening or whatever. Melania is multilingual. She does not, however, speak Japanese.

The wife of the PM of Japan has apparently, more than once, for hours at a time, pretended to not be able to speak or understand a word of English in order to avoid speaking to Trump. That's some next-level, hardcore shade.

How far would you go? Poll coming! Aww, for whatever reason, AW keeps thinking I'm double posting everything and now I can't make a poll. Sad!

Post your own below!

A. Pull a "George HW Bush" and vomit in Trump's lap during dinner (this might not actually be a voluntary reaction for many of us).

B. Surreptitiously pull the fire alarm as everyone is filing into the dining room to sit down.

C. Smuggle a "purse dog"in and let it loose just as the food is arriving.

D. Excuse yourself and disappear into the restroom until the dessert course is almost over

E. Don't shower for a week before the event, make yourself up to look old and tired, and wear clothes that make you look your fattest (this won't work for men, since Trump only thinks of less-than-perfect-looking women as non people).

F. Respond to every comment he makes with the word "COVFEFE."

G. Wear earplugs and spend the whole night nodding like a bobblehead (this should work since he's unlikely to do anything besides talk about himself anyway).

That one!!!

I wonder if she'd tried that, if he'd have thought she was speaking Japanese.
