Stunning transcripts revealed by The Washington Post have given people online a good chance to laugh. Quotes from Donald Trump in reported conversation with the prime minister of Australia, Malcolm Turnbull, in January have revealed interesting terminology used by Trump. Expressing caution against admitting refugees into the United States, Trump reportedly told Turnbull that the refugees "are not going to be wonderful people who go on to work for the local milk people." Now it is not clear what "local milk people" exactly means or who these people even are. But the internet is going wild with "local milk people" jokes.

To be fair, perhaps Trump was trying to use a more relatable term for middle class Americans who work in the dairy industry or maybe he was trying to point to how refugees frequently take up jobs in the milk industry. But even then, the description of "local milk people" sounded unclear, confusing, and pretty darn hilarious.

Prior to deploying the peculiar term, Trump had even apparently attempted to convince the Australian prime minister into seeing the risk of refugee entry. "I guarantee you they are bad. That is why they are in prison right now," Trump had reportedly said.
