I texted friends and family only using Trump quotes
Some people thought I was drunk texting the whole time
Most people have heard of Donald Trump. He’s that bold man with the comb-over running for presidency in this year’s election, the founder and chairman of The Trump Organization. You might have seen him in that show “The Apprentice” roaring at the eliminated competitors with, “You’re fired!”
So in the Presidents’ Day spirit, I thought it would be hilarious but relevant to message my dear friends and family through text or Facebook only using Trump’s quotes and screenshot their responses.
Two of my friends, Lisa and David caught on a little too fast
On a side note, Lisa took a much longer time to respond to these so I assumed that I thoroughly succeeded in confusing her. She told me later she thought I was drunk texting the whole time.
I really appreciated this picture at the end though. I had a good laugh. Thanks, Lisa.
David’s responses were a bit more on the straight forward and on the curt side, especially toward the end. But considering how immediate his responses were, I was actually very impressed at how quickly he got my references.
My friend Erin and my cousins Nathan, Josh and Mitchell, on the other hand, never figured it out
Erin must have been especially confused, considering the fact that I haven’t talked to her in almost a year. What a way to strike up a conversation, huh? Nevertheless, I think I can safely say that we both ended up entertaining each other.
Nathan carried out the conversation a bit longer than everyone else, mostly because the questions he asked coincidently worked perfectly with my quotes. I would have loved to keep this up and spew some more nonsense, but unfortunately I ran out of quotes by that moment.
Honestly I didn’t think using Trump’s wall quote was going to work well, but lucky for me, he didn’t get the reference. Josh’s response was the funniest for me, simply because he legitimately thought I was going to build a wall and probably thought I was batshit nuts for doing so. The very last bit just screams “lolz aight, Ms. Coo-Coo-for-Coco-Puffs you just go ahead and do that.”
Because Mitchell is such a random, quirky person to begin with, I had a hunch that throwing out a completely unrelated string of Trump quotes would work to my favor. I was right. Except, this conversation ended up taking on a more philosophical route, which was very unexpected but still highly amusing.
Overall, I have to say that I appreciated how relatively fast these six people responded to me. I texted some other people who in the long run never got back to me, or just ended up responding way too late.
Suffice to say, the reactions were quite priceless. My conclusion out of this experiment was they all either thought that I had gone insane, that I was being an arrogant douchebag or that I was hammered off my ass — all of which would’ve mades total sense.
