Simply the 6 best Donald Trump would/wouldn’t jokes

John Plunkett. Updated July 19th, 2018

You’ll be familiar now with Donald Trump’s explanation for that Vladimir Putin press conference, where he clarified that he said ‘would’ when he meant ‘wouldn’t’ (or is it the other way round?)

Anyway, there have been no shortage of would/wouldn’t jokes and here are the 6 of the best.

I misspoke. I meant to say I “wouldn’t” be right here waiting for you.

BREAKING: Emperor Palpatine claims he misspoke while issuing Order 66: "In a key sentence in my remarks, I said 'Wipe them out. All of them. … The sentence should've been: 'DON'T wipe them out.'" (SINCERE apologies to all of the Jedi who were subsequently murdered.)

It should have been obvious — I thought it would be obvious — but I would like to clarify, just in case it wasn’t. In a key sentence in my remarks, I said the word crap when I meant quality. Thanks Donald.

"I misspoke," explained Meatloaf, "I wouldn't do anything for love".

George W. Bush has to be thinking, “Darn. I should’ve gone out the next day and said ‘I meant mission not accomplished.’”
