said the 37-year-old South Bend, IN mayor to the awe-struck machines, delivering the message by emitting a series of high-pitched tones and beeps with a perfect accent.

I didn’t know Trump voters spoke binary.

[TruckFump]

1. lol...the onion..however...

...as polished as he is...I believed it at first!

[genxlib]

2. I feel bad for the Onion

They have had to push the boundaries of absurdity way out there. Reality is just too absurd these days. Its like they are being crowded out of the market.

[yaesu]

3. I remember learning machine language back in the 70's when I took electronics

so what do think about that onion?

[CentralMass]

4. I just did the binary to ascii conversion it reads:

I'm honored to meet with such hard-working, true Americans.

[MineralMan]

5. I see what you did there:

01001000 01101001 00100000 01110100 01101000 01100101 01110010 01100101 00101100 00100000 01001101 01110010 00101110 00100000 01010011 01101101 01100001 01110010 01110100 01111001 00100000 01010000 01100001 01101110 01110100 01110011 00100001

[IndyOp]

28. Wait. What?

I was going to copy / paste the code in your post into the hexconverter, but couldn’t manage it. Does it really say something?

Feel free to laugh at me...

[MineralMan]

30. It does, but I can't remember what it said.

[IndyOp]

29. I got it!

I'm honored to meet with such hard-working, true Americans.

[IndyOp]

31. And then...

as president, I will never stop fighting for you.Despite our differences we all want freedom, democracy, and electricity.

[CentralMass]

33. That is whst I used as well.

[WeekiWater]

6. That's funny. You aren't kidding. NT

[Hassin Bin Sober]

9. And vote Bernie

[Kurt V.]

7. he can speak 3 machine languages. :)

[GarySeven]

8. What we really need is a president that understands the binary language of moisture vaporators.

[crazytown]

10. No sweat

[snort]

13. If you're buying Droids

you gotta go with Mudd.

[Greg K]

15. His first job was programming binary load lifters!

Very similar to your vaporators in most respects.

[lostnfound]

19. What we need now is a president that is fluent in at least one language. Nt

[WhiskeyGrinder]

36. I have no need for a protocol droid.

[JDC]

11. funny

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

12. "Old school" is the best.

Speaking like a 300 bit-per-second acoustic coupler modem of the late '60s or early '70s, good stuff.

I just hope the computers don't ask him "Would you like to play a game?".

[CloudWatcher]

23. 300 baud modems

I was kinda hoping they would have video of him whistling at 300 baud ... but I think he's too young to have learned it!

[Honeycombe8]

14. LOL! That's funny. Very clever. nt

[Karadeniz]

16. For once, I knew it going to be Borowitz or Onion!. Keep them coming!❤

[C Moon]

17. Wow! What a hilarious thread! I loved the Onion article--I posted on my FB page earlier--but this

thread cracked me up!

[crazytown]

18. Trump speaks to manufacturing robots in monosyllables

GreatSadGreatGreatSadGreatSadSadSadGreat

[artislife]

21. With another robot

rushing around, flaying it's arms yelling "Danger, danger"

[USALiberal]

20. The binary is real and says "I'm honored to meet with such hard-working, true Americans."

[artislife]

22. Got to hand it to the Onion

no fake language usage! They really commit.

[USALiberal]

24. 01001001 00100000 01100001 01100111 01110010 01100101 01100101

[radical noodle]

25. Love the Onion

but look how far they had to go to find something Pete can't do (maybe).

[TalenaGor]

26. omg...ok for a minute....

[Freethinker65]

27. Pete really should tweet/retweet this.

[IronLionZion]

32. He's got the robot vote all locked up

and Andrew Yang can provide us all universal basic income as the robots take over.

[CrispyQ]

34. There are 10 types of people in the world. Those who understand binary & those who don't.

Old programming joke.

[geardaddy]

35. LOL
