Si, Presidente pandejo. Tu es igualmente Facsista Franco.

Hint to Trump. Almost all nations are cutting you and the United States out of their plans.
They know you are nuts.

I know that Castilian Spanish (Old World Spanish) is different than Latin American Spanish. I was wondering if the word "pendejo" had an equivalent in Old World Spanish. Now I know - pandejo! Now I'll have to get t-shirts made up with Taco Tits' picture and "PANDEJO" underneath for when we go to Spain this summer! Thank you!

I have a pretty good ear for Romance and Slavic languages. I picked up Italian pretty easily when we were in Italy.

Makes sense as he wants NATO to collapse.
It's almost like he's paid to dismantle America.

Reminds me of (then) House Majority Leader, Kevin McCarthy's 2016 comment-
"There's two people I think Putin Pays: Rohrabacher and Trump"

But my friends in Barcelona are saying the Catalan equivalent of, "Go ahead. Make my day."


Spain's two big money sources are agriculture and tourism. All Europe buys Spanish agricultural products, and most of Europe loves going to Spain for vacation. I was just down there last week, and will be spending most of next week there as well. They really wouldn't/don't miss us.
