[NOTE: these terms are weaponized language, & meant to give offense. Which is the whole & compleat & entire & total point of insult & invective, obscenity & blasphemy, & other political speech.]

FINNISH:  Vittu Putinin ja hänen poika nukke Donald Trump ...

GERMAN:   Ficken Vladimir Putin und sein Junge Puppe Donald Trump ... ‡

ICELANDIC:  Ríða Vladimir Putin og drengurinn dúkka Donald Trump hans ... ‡‡

  ‡)  Fuck Vladimir Putin and his toy boy puppet Donald trump...”

‡‡)  Fuck Vladimir Putin and his toy boy doll Donald trump...”  [NOTE: dúkka here translates to doll. Puppet doesn’t have an equivalent term. But dúkka is a translatable cognate to the Finnish nukke, which means puppet.]
