News: DONALD TRUMP: Language does not deceive: Trump does not know anything about Spain

Before the recent visit of Mariano Rajoy to Washington, what remains are the words. Above all, Donald Trump's.

Speaking to the media, after the meeting with the Spanish president, Trump demonstrates that his dialectic goes beyond pure reverie and that Spain is simply a country that will have visited vaguely. A clear example of this is his speech which, as always, meets the expectations of the most arid public with good humor almost black (political, of course).

See two important interventions of Trump during this press conference in which the tycoon and president launches to speak of Catalunya:

Well, I think the people of Catalonia have been talking about this for a long time. But I bet you have accurate numbers and accurate polling, you'd find that they love their country, they love Spain, and they would not leave. So I'm just for united Spain.
I speak as the President of the United States, as somebody that has great respect for your President, and also has really great respect for your country. I really think the people of Catalonia would stay with Spain. I think it would be foolish not to Because you're talking about staying with a truly great, beautiful, and very historic country (sic).

Translation: Well, I think the people of Catalonia have been talking about this for a long time. But I bet if you had accurate numbers and polls, you would see that they want their country, that they want Spain, and that they would not leave. So I'm very close to Spain.
I speak as the President of the United States, as someone who has great respect for your President, and who also has a great respect for your country. I really think the people of Catalunya would stay with Spain. I think it would be foolish not to. Because you are talking about staying with a truly great, beautiful and very historic country.

Before such rhetoric, the first analyzes proceed. Manuel Broncano, a professor of American literature and director of the translation department of Texas A & M International University, has come to a series of conclusions that decipher Trump's language and stance in the face of such a soliloquy. "President Trump manifests his total ignorance of the reality of Spain and, at the same time, gives further proof of the poverty of his rhetoric," said Manuel.

Broncano seems not to be surprised at what he sees (although his "favorite sport" is to avoid at all costs the statements of the American President), because he says that people are accustomed to hear their English, intelligible many times.

He insists on looking at the use of the conditional verbs (would) he uses, as well as the function he gives to the articles.

Manuel explains that abuse of Would (I really think the people of Catalonia would stay with Spain / I really think the people of Catalunya would stay with Spain, for example), is not justified under any circumstances. As conditional as it is, it makes no decision, it remains at the level of speculation. And it is in the phrase I think the President would say they are not going to have to vote (I think that the President would say that they are not going to have a vote), implies two things: Improbability, little confidence in Rajoy and its words; ignorance, do not know who Rajoy is, probably not even interested. For that reason, nor does it decide to name him, "It could be that his visit put it in his agenda", but nothing more transcendent to that, he insists.

Another part of Trump's speech continues as follows:

Well, I think that Spain is a great country and it should remain united. We are dealing with a great, great country, and it should remain united.
I've been watching that unfold, but it's been unfolding for centuries. And I think that nobody knows if they're going to have a vote. I think the President is not going to have a vote. But I think that the people would be very much opposed to that.
I can say only for myself, I would like to see Spain continue to be united (sic).

Translation: Well, I think that Spain is a great country and that it should remain united. We are talking about a great, great country, and should stick together.
I have been observing the development of that, but in fact it has been developing for centuries. And I think no one knows if they're going to have a vote. I think the President would say that they will not have a vote. But I think people would be totally against it.
I can only speak for myself, I would love to see Spain continue to be united.
