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. "I have people at this table can't speak nearly as well," he added. English is the official language of Liberia, a West African nation founded in the early 1800s by philanthropists, abolitionists and some slave owners who sought to resettle free Black Americans.
@#3 ... Could have gone worse, he could have thrown up on him. ...

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.
