Another genuinely fine specimen of the "Here's an awful thing about Trump and why you should be angry with somebody else about it"-genre.

Staying with the topic of different yet similar is this “false friends” lesson!
In linguistics, a false friend is a word in a different language that looks or sounds similar to a word in a given language, but differs significantly in meaning.

Tenderlokomotive: a locomotive that *is* its own tender → tank engine
