Again, from the last time this was reposted, none of these are wishes.

Why not? If I wish that someone ignores something, that's a valid wish IMO.

Because they never say "wish", they just issue commands.

I dunno. If he told the djinn 'Give me a nice car' or 'Make Trump eat a pile of dog poop' in response to the offering of 3 wishes, that qualifies as a wish to me even though it doesn't contain the word.
