I’d be concerned if it was something bill clinton said.
Seymour, who reportedly had a daily rate of $150 for his translation services, lasted less than a day on the job before he was replaced.
$150 in 1977 is roughly $800 today. I don’t think he charged enough for such an epic troll.

It would be nice to know, what exactly he said, as I am Polish.
Ich bin ein berliner!
I feel like what he said was fine. What the interpreter said was fucked up.
But “I came to grope and I ain’t leaving” is pretty on brand for several of our presidents in the last 30 years.
But “I came to grope and I ain’t leaving”
Pretty much US foreign policy, if you ask me.
