So, today the current president praised the English-speaking skills of the leader of Liberia. he was visibly shocked at how eloquently and naturally the African leader spoke... his own native language.
Liberia has been an English speaking country since it's founding, by freed American slaves.
Question:
- Was Trump actually so ignorant of the fact that Liberia was and always has been an English speaking country founded by Americans, that he meant these stupefyingly senseless comments as a completely misguided compliment?
- Or was Trump so racist and vain that he didn't think a black African man could possibly speak English better than Trump himself can?
- Or a combination of both - he was not only completely uneducated and unprepared for the meeting, and also so incredibly racist that he was shocked to find the leader of Liberia effortlessly presents himself with a better command of the English language than Trump himself does?
