Diversion of the Day, 1/30

 

What would Donald Trump sound like with a Cockney accent? It’s long been a question on everyone’s mind and English actor Peter Serafinowicz finally provides an answer:

I’m not exactly sure why I enjoy this video so much, but after my fourth viewing I no longer care. If Trump’s 2016 run doesn’t pan out here in the States, perhaps he could join UKIP.

    It lip reads as if it is. But I’ve seen some of those videos of “bad lip reading.”

    I watched some interview with a British actor recently where the American interviewer made the comment that all Americans secretly envy the British accent.  I agree.  Shallow as it is, if Trump spoke with a cockney accent I would find him more endearing.

    Context is all. In the UK, those words,  in that accent, allow one to dismiss the speaker as an ignorant, bigoted pub bore.
