So you all going to start spelling colour properly?
No u It's color
Id have thought he would choose a language he had a better grasp of
What, Russian?
What about the damn grocery store prices?
They are already in English
A la mierda con eso. Hablaré exclusivamente en Español como protesta.
Unfortunately, I think this will catch on as well as today's protest 🥲
Here’s for hoping he finally learns how to speak it.
Trump's greatest accomplishment, surpassing the DuoLingo owl in being the most annoying thing to make me want to learn Spanish. Pendejo.
Ahora que puedo conversar un poco en español, es mi método preferido para expresar mi desprecio por personas en público. Por ejemplo, Trump es un llorón pinche guero cagaleche que solo puede poner su pito erecto si Jingping y Putin lo follan como a un pollo en un asador.

So the founding fathers chose to NOT have an official language, and orange muffin boy thinks he’s smarter then the founding fathers?
What an idiot
I always thought it was just taken as granted rather than an intentional decision, but I never looked into it. That said, the founders got a whole bunch of shit very wrong, so there's that.

A symbolic move catering to the English-only movement; unity claim feels overstated.

English? Sounds too foreign to me.
Why not call the official language American?
And even American was from that Italian Amerigo. Why not call the official language Magaian or Trumpish...?
/s ... if needed.
Plains sign language, the first language to be a unifying language of differing people in this area.
Or asl which is the only colonial language to be American
King Krasnov's English, to ensure it's differentiated from Queen's English our friends speak across the pond.
Please no one show Trump this joke... after the Gulf of America shit I'm half convinced he'd actually do it.
Yeah it's kinda surprising actually, saying that the official language is Murican is way more up his alley.

If there is a white supremacy angle, they're obviously taking it.
SMDH at the improved performance Donnie diaper had with Hispanics this cycle, the leopards feasting.
... creates a pathway for civic engagement
Literally the opposite. Love the doublespeak.
Glad this dipshit is focusing on the important things.
I was really getting concerned about the Gulf of Mexico being named the Gulf of Mexico. And the 10 trans people that serve in the military. Those things were really weighing on my mind.
As long as you don't remember that the transwomen who are being put into a men's prison. Nope. Nothing to see here.
This has no practical effect other than virtue signaling to xenophobic racists. It’s called a dog-whistle.
Government agencies no longer providing forms or information in any language but English will definitely have a practical effect and harm.
More like a dog klaxon.
It's all vice signalling
I'm confused I thought it already was.
I've never fact checked this but IIRC my highschool civics teacher said something like the US made a point not to have an official language
Here's a current screenshot from USA.gov.

What a dick.
I prefer this instead.
Oxford or Webster's dictionary?
Caimfordster's just to get a good mix of things.
Another week of signing delusional royal decrees that may or may not stand up in court. Now off to the golf course to abuse our land in a more physical way.
¿Que?
Of course, English, so you mean it as the brits speak it right? I expect it to be spoken proper.
