aproitzWith #RFKjunior they made a #Goat a #Gardener. An absolute #Catastrophe.
Urwumpe@antonproitzelhaimer @georgetakei You just told the world that you are German. 😉
The english equivalent is "The fox guarding the henhouse."

Goat a gardener isn't a German idiom. Where did you get that from?

You mean "Bock zum Gärtner"? Goat is a lot more than bock. See

@cqd_sos @antonproitzelhaimer @georgetakei Its still coming from Germans speaking English, the idiom isn't even common before 2000.
A British book from 1868 uses the phrase, but lets King Frederick of Prussia say the phrase for example.
Its as German as Stosslüften.

@cqd_sos @antonproitzelhaimer @georgetakei maybe you should think less about you and more about others?
For example if English speaking people actually get a German idiom translated literally into English.
Or arethe english speaking people just too stupid in your eyes, if they don't get it?
