"Such good English," President Trump said to President Joseph Boakai of Liberia, where English is the official language, during a White House lunch on Wednesday. "Where did you learn to speak so beautifully?" Trump continued. "Where? Were you educated? Where?" https://trib.al/5EOBL9m

... President Trump said Wednesday he was impressed with Liberian President Joseph Boakai's English during a meeting with African heads of state at the White House. "Such good English," he said after Boakai spoke. Where were you educated? Where? In Liberia? Well, that's very interesting. It's beautiful English," Trump said during a joint press conference. ...

More embarrassment for America on the world stage.

Is this Pres Trump's intentional purpose, to embarrass America whenever he has the opportunity to do so?

Could have gone worse, he could have thrown up on him.

@#3 ... Could have gone worse, he could have thrown up on him. ...

At tis point, I am not yet convinced that would have been worse.

Yes, that was a major f@@k-up, but not worse than this occurrence.

Lemme explain ...

This incident shows a total ignorance of Pres Trump regarding the country of the person he is talking with at the White House.

I mean really ...

Liberia - Culture
en.wikipedia.org

... The religious practices, social customs, and cultural standards of the Americo-Liberians had their roots in the antebellum American South. The settlers wore top hat and tails and modeled their homes on those of Southern slaveowners.[222] Most Americo-Liberian men were members of the Masonic Order of Liberia, which became heavily involved in the nation's politics. ...


... and English is the official language of Liberia, as noted here in a prior comment.

So, why didn't Pres Trump know this? Why did not his aides brief him on this before the meeting.

Oh wait, he seems to choose his aides based upon for their obsequious adulation, and not their competency.

And his major egg-on-the-face-of-America looks to be a result of that.

@#5 ... The Liberian President speaks English much better than the mush-brained-------------. That's for ---- sure. ...

Well, at a minimum, Pres Boakai did not seem to prevaricate whenever his lips were moving.

I wish I could say something similar for Pres Trump.

Jayzus, the utter cluelessness with which Orange Biff brays his ignorance ...
He really hasn't got a clue.
Rapid mental disassembly continuing apace.
And, obviously, building momentum.

How long before he renames what Americans speak as Americanish?

Trump Praises Liberian President's Good English'

I'm getting the feeling that Trumpy would oppose mandatory Ebonics classes.

That's his native language. He is from the bawaaawa tribe. Apparently. No one will ever accuse that maroon of speaking good English.

Let's face it. Trump is either stupid or demented or both. In this instance I go with stupid'.

#17 | Posted by moder8 at 2025-07-13 02:29 PM

At least Trump didn't ask how he learned to speak American.

A basic question in my view ...

Why did not Pres Trump know, or have been informed by his senior aides, that English was the official language of Liberia before that meeting even took place?

There are people in the State Dept who could have informed him of this, to prevent this embarrassment.

Oh wait.
