Det blir aldri kjedelig rundt Donald Trump. Heller ikke under besøket til Portugals president i Washington. Spesielt ikke når den amerikanske presidenten uttaler seg om ting han har lite kunnskap om – men store tanker rundt.
Noen har tydeligvis glemt å hviske presidenten i øret om at det pågår VM i fotball (Nei, ikke med den mer ovale amerikanske fotballen, men med den runde).
Og at den største helten til Portugals president viser seg frem på banen i Russland.
ESPN har funnet frem til møtereferat fra det Hvite Hus, som tar oss med på en litt artig vending i samtalen mellom de to statslederne – innimellom alt det seriøse politikerpratet.
Her blir det helt feil å oversette, så vi kjører det direkte på morsmålet til verdens mektigste mann.
-MARCELO REBELO DE SOUSA: But anyway, don’t forget that Portugal has the best player in the world that is called Cristiano Ronaldo.
-TRUMP: Oh, okay.
-DE SOUSA: I’m sure your son knows it and
–TRUMP: He knows all about him.
-DE SOUSA: And so – and so, don’t forget if you ever go to Russia during the championship, don’t forget Portugal is still there and wanting to win the championship.
-TRUMP: That’s right. They’re doing very well.
-DE SOUSA: Yes.
-TRUMP: And they say he is doing –
-DE SOUSA: – and doing very, very, very well.
-TRUMP: That’s very good. And so tell me, how good a player is he? Are you impressed?
-DE SOUSA: I’m very much impressed. He’s the best player in the world, Cristiano Ronaldo. So in a sense – well, I think, has been a success. I do agree with you – the championship. Yeah.
-TRUMP: Yeah, great. No. No. I think – I think (inaudible) –
-DE SOUSA: No doubt about it for the world – for the world.
-TRUMP: So will Cristian (sic) ever run for President against you? (Laughter.) He wouldn’t win. You know he won’t
-DE SOUSA: President, you know – you know something – I must tell you, Portugal is not just United States.
Vi syntes ord etter dette blir overflødig.
