In a bid to improve the UK’s relationship with the US writer and director Hannah Berry George has taken to informing Americans that in the UK the word ‘trump’ means fart. Not satisfied with just letting the odd ex-pat know, Hannah has created a whole site and some comedy shorts to spread the word. And that word is ‘fart’.
