Are some people really taking the essay seriously? The student was obviously trying to mimic Trump 😂

[–] [email protected] 19 points 3 months ago

I don't know if you're serious, but this wasn't a student mimicking Trump. It was a teacher mocking Trump by treating his insane speech as if it were written by a student. This isn't someone mimicking Trump. This is somehow actually the insane ramblings of the man himself.

“I say, ‘What would happen if the boat sank from its weight, and you’re in the boat, and you have this tremendously powerful battery, and the battery’s now underwater, and there’s a shark that’s approximately 10 yards over there?’

“By the way, a lot of shark attacks lately, do you notice that? Lot of sharks. I watched some guys justifying it today: ‘Well they weren’t really that angry, they bit off the young lady’s leg because of the fact that they were not hungry but they misunderstood who she was.’ These people are crazy. He said, ‘There’s no problem with sharks, they just didn’t really understand a young woman swimming.’ No, really got decimated, and other people, too, a lot of shark attacks.

“So I said, ‘There’s a shark 10 yards away from the boat, 10 yards, or here. Do I get electrocuted if the boat is sinking, water goes over the battery, the boat is sinking? Do I stay on top of the boat and get electrocuted, or do I jump over by the shark and not get electrocuted?’ Because I will tell you, he didn’t know the answer.

“He said, ‘You know, nobody’s ever asked me that question.’ I said, ‘I think it’s a good question. I think there’s a lot of electric current coming through that water.’ But you know what I’d do if there was a shark or you get electrocuted? I’ll take electrocution every single time. I’m not getting near the shark. So we’re going to end that, we’re going to end it for boats, we’re going to end it for trucks.”

Even AI can't come up with something like this.

That student needs to have the stupid beaten out of him. It's the only way to be sure.

This isn't just a parody of his style, its just what he actually said: https://youtu.be/pq4xSuiueUc

How do you not know what to do with this kid? He's hilarious. Pass his ass

what a great essay. a great essay.

i knew this student, very smart. i knew him and he said umbrella you- i am a real patriot (and there are real patriots) and he said umbrella- umbrella is the most upvoted user on lemmy. what i was told- they know you are much bigger than the second one by far. great. you are doing a great job.

LOL I definitely didn't notice that first and went, "wow, did this kid really plagiarize Trump?" And then looked at the name.... So sorta.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Haha it's funny how annoyingly easy it is to tell a trump rambling

[–] [email protected] 40 points 3 months ago (3 children)

What's hilarious is that even if you didn't notice the name on the paper (I didn't) you still know immediately who this is mocking.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

Yeah I didn't realize it was a quote at first, but I knew exactly who it was supposed to be.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Didn't see the name but recognized the style.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

I didn't notice the name, but I got about halfway in before I started to wonder why it sounded so familiar.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I'm pretty sure it is literally a transcription of a trump speech...

Edit: oh fuck, I just noticed the name on the paper is also Donald Trump... Lol I guess I "ate the onion".

Love "never fight uphill, me boys, never fight uphill!"

I'm picturing Lee with a peg leg and a parrot on his shoulder.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

It's over Ainakin, I have the uphill

Robert E Lee x Mr. Krabs mashup

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago (1 children)

"Mr. Lee, why do you like slavery?"

"Money!"

I kinda want this to be a thing, like a SpongeBob special doing their own weird version of the American Civil War.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 months ago

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago
