Donald Trump has praised the president of Liberia for speaking “such good English,” seemingly unaware that Liberia’s official language is, in fact, English.
A lot of slightly smarter Americans wouldn’t have taken the risk of such a remark, despite remaining oblivious to the mere existence of Liberia.
It’s going to be a long 50 years. You think it’s fun now, just imagine when Junior is on the throne.
They’re “so well spoken”. That’s what makes them “one of the good ones”.
If this turdsack actually makes it to Thanksgiving he’s gonna go full racist while pardoning the turkey.

It’s a farmed turkey, it’s mostly white meat.

Probably speaks better than him tbh. How long until he tries to rename English to American?
If that wasn’t cringe enough, here’s what the article concludes with:
“I could do this all day,” Trump mused as the leaders took it in turns to flatter him.
Well, no one could say that to him
It’s such a trump thing to do
I despise Trump more than most but this article is silly. Only about half of Liberians speak English, and less than 2% speak it as their first language. It’s the official language because there are 31 different languages spoken in the country and they need something to be lingua franca so why not make it English for added international appeal. India is similar
The official language of Liberia is English because the country was founded by former slaves and free black people from the USA.
Also why the flag is almost the same I guess?
Sure but that ethnic group is only a tiny minority there now and their president isn’t one of them
Now you make me question whether it’s a future deportation destination…
Presumably the leader of a country would be able to speak its official language, like how so many Canadian PMs speak both French and English
And even then, a better person wouldn’t inject narcissism into their stupidity
tRump sucks.

Who said anything about “all” of “them”?
Which countries were you thinking about, as examples?
Why the skepticism about the English abilities of a nation founded by former American slaves and Americans of African descent?
I genuinely thought it meant Trump was speaking up his own good English.
this is not trump being oblivious, this is trump being blatantly racist
He’s (probably accidentally) correct in this case, Joseph Boakai’s first language is Kissi
Not both?
He’s lived in a bubble his entire life. for 60 years he lived in an aristocrat’s bubble. and since he was in his mid to late 60s, he’s lived in one where he’s treated like a living god. He was raised by affluent , arrogant, racist and supremacist bastards, and that will never leave him.
remember a few weeks ago , if that. he had a fruedian slip and dropped an antisemetic remark when he was trying to talk about scammers or something?
They read a lot of books in Libraryia. Many such books. Everybody says so.
Yuuuuuge books, the biggest books anyone has ever seen
Inb4 it’s a dictionary
“So many books. I can’t believe how many books they had. There were books everywhere in this building.”
