When you don’t understand what you’re being asked

On Tuesday, at the ‘Riviera’ press conference, Donald Trump had this is to say to a question about his plans for Afghanistan, asked by Nazira Karimi, US-based Afghan journalist:

I have a little hard time understanding you…. actually, it's a beautiful voice and a beautiful accent. The only… the only problem is I can’t understand a word you're saying. But… but I just say this: good luck. Live in peace.

PS: Not a perfect comparison but it sort of reminded me of the disarming candour of  Bill Duke’s DEA officer in Steven Soderbergh’s 1999 movie The Limey
