This ought to help with his tanking poll numbers

[senseandsensibility]

Today trump signed an executive order demanding that all truckers "be able to speak English". They really have their fingers on what's important to the American voter, don't they?

And that's one reason we don't have to worry about his poll numbers improving. He and his administration will do nothing but dig in on what is NOT working

[underpants]

1. This should help with recruiting/hiring much needed truckers.

🙄

[AllyCat]

27. Won't be needed when there is nothing to ship.

The photos and live cams of empty ports are worrisome.

[BattleRow]

31. Just curious..is that a requirement for joining the military?

[underpants]

33. I'm pretty sure it is or was when I was in

[BOSSHOG]

2. And all people who harvest our fruits and vegetables

Must speak English and drive teslas.

[senseandsensibility]

4. Don't give them any ideas!

[JBTaurus83]

3. I'm curious

how many people this would even effect? I have never heard of this "problem" until now.

[louis-t]

5. Someone probably told him they heard a trucker speaking Spanish

and he freaked out.

[maxsolomon]

29. One assumes it's aimed at trucks coming up from Mehico.

They've been wound up about that for years.

Unless they have an issue with the Sihk drivers coming down I-5 from BC? Pretty sure they all speak English...

[Skittles]

44. it's the kind of stuff white supremacists worry about

yes indeed

[Ping Tung]

6. Is "Fuck You Donnie" English?

[AloeVera]

8. Not if said with a Mexican accent.

He forgot to add "Latino, Arabic, Haitian or African -accent-free".

But we know what he means.

[RainCaster]

47. The best kind

[viva la]

7. Hmmm, I've met some Trump voters who speak in a pretty undecipherable southern accent--

And let's say the grasp on grammar and syntax was minimal.

[BattleRow]

30. Side effects of meth mouth?

Missing teeth make for muddled speech ...

Whoa, are they taxing sin,now?

[viva la]

55. LOL--

I think accents are a lot about vowel sounds.
And I heard a home renovator talking about how they needed new "tahl"... I really had to listen to context to know it was "tile".

I do like accents and dialects, but people who are learning English as a second language, well, they have at least 1 more language than most Americans!

[SharonAnn]

53. I know what you mean. It's not like they haven't hear "proper English" on the TV and radio.

[Duncanpup]

9. Well the MAGABILLIES are screwed.

[Joinfortmill]

16. Rofl

[twodogsbarking]

10. Is there a test for "speaking English"? Where I grew up about half the people would fail and that is their only language

[xuplate]

11. Next he will be telling you what you can or can't dream.

[Dwild]

12. Layoffs

Could they be expecting layoffs and use language as a reason to dismiss Latinos?

[flamingdem]

13. Wow, he's lost that group

Thinking this one is for Eloon. He's pushing his driverless trucks.

[Johonny]

14. He appeals to worst inside people

And can't inspire the best.

Be Worse should be the motto

[wnylib]

35. Well, when there is nothing good inside of a person, they can only relate to what's bad in others.

[Joinfortmill]

15. He's a demented puppet. Gonna get a lot worse

before the Republicans finally kick his ass.

[DENVERPOPS]

17. Here in Colorado

we would be happy if the LEOs would just check driver's licenses at the weigh stations, to make sure they have a CDL driver's license.

Two of the most horrific Semi accidents here in Colorado recently, were caused by immigrant drivers that had no training in the 18 wheelers, and no required CDL...........Turns out the Trucking company had 20-40 other drivers they employed that had no CDL's, working for them....

Trump is a master at going after things that excite his crowd..........It used to be that the Republicans, a couple of months before presidential elections, always used the GAYS/GUNS/GOD to excite their voters, now Trump does it 24/7, with Fox "News" as his media propaganda outlet

[Stargazer99]

50. Cheaper labor costs and to hell with safety-another crass fail of capitalism-basic evil

[DENVERPOPS]

51. He is already getting rid of any "Safety Agencies" at the Federal Level

DOT, OSHA, etc etc etc

[rickford66]

18. Words come out of Trump's mouth, just not in the correct order.

Is that considered English ?

[Abolishinist]

19. It's a variety of the language, commonly referred to as Trumglish.

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

49. A proficient speaker of Trumglish must be able to:

Last edited Tue Apr 29, 2025, 01:14 PM - Edit history (1)

Pull “alternative facts” and nonexistent statistics out of their ass at a moment’s notice

Be able to constantly repeat bullet talking points so that they can conveniently change the subject when asked a question they don’t understand or are unable to lie about.

Like a MAGAt truck “rolling coal”, be able to instantaneously create a smokescreen of lies and bullshit so thick that the listener eventually feels like they are trying to find their way out of a labyrinth in total darkness.

Inject high volume blasts of verbal diarrhea into a conversation to drown out dissenting voices. This skill is particularly useful in a debate situation when they are feeling the heat.

Be able to convince listeners that they know everything and then be able to simultaneously claim to know nothing. This is a vital skill that comes into play when the clueless toadies the Trumglish speaker has under them fuck up to the point where it becomes national news.

[Abolishinist]

52. Perfect! I can tell you have a deep understanding of Trumglish!

“Nobody’s ever done what I’ve done—everybody says so—but if anything went wrong, I didn’t know about it, and actually it was perfect, better than perfect, and the fake news just doesn’t want to admit it, believe me.

I hire the best people, everybody knows that—so if something went wrong, I had nothing to do with it, and actually, it was a tremendous success, even the media said so privately. But I knew everything that was happening, except the things I wasn’t told, which were probably lies anyway."

[Grim Chieftain]

20. I'm not too sure the words come out of his mouth

A bit lower perhaps...

[DingleBerryNW]

21. We must demand...

That all presidents of USA are capable of speaking the English language with Complete and Coherent Sentences. Slurring one’s words is grounds for impeachment! 🤬

[LW1977]

26. God bless the United Schhatesh

[justaprogressive]

22. Hay from Quebec

(how do you say "put it over there. in Quebecois French?)

[senseandsensibility]

41. Is this a form of stick it where the sun don't shine?

[iluvtennis]

23. Just because the MAGAts can speak English doesn't mean they meet the requirements to drive a truck. They'll

need training to drive the truck. I have two brothers who drive the big rigs, the trucking companies can't find enough drivers, and now this will make it worse.

TSF is an imbecile.

[underpants]

34. How could this be enforced?

Would states require it for licensing?
I see that Virginia requires it to take the hazmat test but you can take the CDL in all kinds of languages

[iluvtennis]

39. He could have ICE be at the weigh stations on highways and do some type of "English" speaking test. Could

also setup various checkpoints throughout cities and town and have ICE pull over truck drivers to do the "English" tests.

Just an asinine policy. There is no official language of the US. As long as they can pass their CDL and associated road/safety tests, Don the Con shouldn't have any say on it.

(note: I know nothing about trucking, so this is just all my opinion based on my life experiences)

[underpants]

40. He declared English the official language in an EO

I know someone in trucking. The margins are very tight and it’s way more complicated than you could imagine.

[iluvtennis]

42. Wow on both points. n/t

[Blue Full Moon]

24. Disrupt trade from Mexico to Canada

[Scruffy1]

25. It is a ball of nothing.

To get a CDL you already have to read English. We have a lot of Trucking companies in El Paso and the bridges are constantly busy. All of the Mexican drivers have to show their CDL at the crossing.

[senseandsensibility]

43. I suspected that it might be something like that

Just another dog and pony show.

[Skittles]

46. performance for the racist base

fucking disgusting

[LonePirate]

28. His base is eating this up and asking for more. Keeping them happy is enough for him, regardless of what America thinks.

[Scrivener7]

32. And how does he propose to enforce that nonsense? Idiot.

[senseandsensibility]

36. I think it's just for the FAUX crowd

and something to yell about at his rallies. They're still playing to the base 24/7.

[FPGramma]

37. Cab drivers may be next.

[Buddyzbuddy]

38. You can count on Rat Face Miller to keep feeding his need to hate.

I'm pretty sure Rat Face is the muse for the Felon's continual thirst for racial animosity and need to punish. I think Rat Face considers himself the puppet master. He speaks here and it comes out there. Rat Face probably didn't imagine the power he would one day have to control and punish.
Someday he needs to answer. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

[dalton99a]

48. NEXT: Trump signs executive order to require truckers to wear shoes

[Dem4life1970]

54. Unlike his other Executive Orders....

this one is sure to lower prices for ordinary Americans. It's what every Trump 2024 voter voted for....
