Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

I'm not sure if he is declining or about the same? At least he got the names right this time. I would half expect to hear about "President Arby's of Nambia" or some shit.

He got the country wrong though. Victor Orban is the leader of Hungry. Erdogan is the leader of turkey...and if I recall correctly those two know each other too.

Sure, but is that any worse than calling the CEO of Apple Tim Apple?

It's along the level of this insult. At the level of statesmanship you expect from a president of a country, that's not a mistake you make. For someone calling his general election opponent senile, it seems like he's living in a glass house with a slingshot.

Such a glorious rendition. I stood and cried. :')

Yeah, I know, I'm surprised that's all he mixed up.
