Trump to sign order making English the official U.S. language

I am speaking within the context of the United States, and within that context I am entirely correct. Anyone who cannot speak English in the US is will have great difficulty earning anything more than a subsistence living.
Your focus is too narrow and your sense of history too limited.
 
A single language for our country is clearly something that should be done.
However English should not be the language. A country the size and diversity of our country should have it's own language. I think a language incorporating words from all the different nationalities would be more appropriate and it should be called American not English.
Well this is a new take on an old tired issue.
 
It remains to be seen if this change will encourage more immigrants to learn more English. If it does, that's a good thing.
I assume that his office will issue the order in Spanish as well as English, in order to make it more effective.
 
Yes it is.

But not the most spoken language
https://www.icls.edu/blog/most-spoken-languages-in-the-world
Mandarin Chinese is the second most spoken language in the world, but unlike English, it has the highest number of native speakers — 941 million, nearly 2.5 times more than English
 
Congratulations, gentlemans and ... lady! !! You've got an official language right now!


How could you live without it ?
But why ENGLISH ? It's strange. He could pick Russian, why not ?
Or .... Ukrainian !
Imagine : From now on Ukrainian MOVA is official language of the United States of America! Sounds great!

That's some fat cash Trump just dumped into the average American's wallet. Between that and the Gulf of America, it makes everything seem really great. Again.

I just don't feel enough respect for the great American president. Beware, mr T. is vindictive....
 
Lol Zelensky is meeting Trump right now. Making Ukranian the official language of the US is the most powerful security guarantee the US can give Ukraine. Zelensky should not leave the White House until Trump signs Executive Order making Ukranian the Official Language.
I read that Trump cries and yells on him. But is he succeds in changing USA' official language to MOVA , then I swear ! I will learn Ukrainian MOVA. And force everybody to learn it!!!!!
 
Oh, just an early pearl of wisdom from His Majesty's very good brain. ;)
His Majesty's very good brain ??? I feel some hidden irony... Whoever could it be ? I hope you don't want to cast an ugly stain on mr. POTUS ?
 
Maybe retailers will offer an English speaking discount!

"Speak English at the checkout and get 5% off on a dozen eggs!"
I have a better proposal . Those who don't speak proper English, the MAGA dialect, will have to pay additional fines. This way it works better.
But of course T. should develop a new standard of English, some MAGA-edition of English.
THose who fail to learn new standard and spot their skills, will be stripped of American citizenship. It's time to make it tougher...

I can speak MAGA. It mostly consists of one syllable words but it can be done.
 
What if you take the money required to run the DoE and send it to the states in the form of education grants?
Then we didn't save any money, just made 50 depts of education responsible for stuff they've never done. I'm sure it will be fine.
 
This is because they were not fostered and trained appropriately. I believe MAGA chikens will speak.
Yes, I believe chickens could master MAGA speak. It is for bird brains after all.
 
well you are kidding.. it's not serious . There is a lot of stuff. Take inauguration speech for example. Tomorrow's American kids will learn it by heart.
There have been lot of great speeches by US Presidents. No one will ever accuse trump of making a great speech.
