It is so hard to refrain from making a comment about trump. Oops! Just did!
I wonder, was the new ironic relevance of this sentence appreciated at the time it was put here? (This comment made: May 2017)
It's a pre-election sentence (last edited January 2016), but hopefully it's enjoying its new-found relevance more than the rest of us.
Does that mean that I’m allowed to do all the things that my country’s president did, even those that were supposed to be illegal? Since he did them, it’s legal now, isn’t it? All those possibilities suddenly appearing before my eyes.
Good ol' Tricky Dick. Even better was when he said, "I am not a crook".
How would this look like in Norwegian please?-"When the president does it, does it mean it is not illegal?" I could say the given Duolingo translation as a question in English with a rising tone at the end of the sentence- is the same true in Norwegian please?
If you added a question mark at the end of the Norwegian sentence, it would turn it into a question in this particular case, yes.
