I wonder why he asked this?

[senseandsensibility]

Trump just now to the President of Liberia: "Such good English. Where did you learn to speak so beautifully?"

English is the official language of Liberia.

[TommieMommy]

1. Hahaha hahaha

[pandr32]

2. He has no useful knowledge.

He also refuses briefings ahead of these meetings, instead confidentially relying on his own knowledge.

[WorkDoctor]

3. Ignoramus

What an embarrassment. Surrounded by fools too lazy, dumb or arrogant to research facts to cosplay their official roles at the WH.

[Captain Zero]

4. Trump is the old fart at an Italian buffet who

Loads up a bowl with cheese because he thought it was butterscotch pudding.

[senseandsensibility]

5. You paint quite the picture!

[Jilly_in_VA]

7. More like

IGNORANUS--someone who is both ignorant *and* an asshole.

[3catwoman3]

27. One of my favorite...

…neologisms.

[FakeNoose]

33. Chump is surrounded by people that he refuses to listen to

It doesn't matter whether they are smart or stupid. He won't listen to any advisors, and he won't read any advance briefings either. The lazy stupidity radiates from HIM.

[usonian]

6. Demands that the country be renamed Libertarian, or Moronica, in his name.

Capital renamed from Monrovia (he must not know where that came from) to Melania.

💩4 🧠🧠

[BOSSHOG]

8. Who will harvest crops by hand this year, Mr President?

People who speak English, the best kind. It will be easier for them to talk to emergency personnel when they have medical issues in the field. To give them an address to send the bill. The Republican Party has a Great Plan for everything. LED by the greatest convicted felon ever.

[LoisB]

9. Obviously, IT has zero knowledge of the founding of the country.

[Jit423]

10. Did he ever hear Mandela speak? Tutu? Idris Elba? MLK? Malcolm or any other black men more educated than himself?

[niyad]

12. Exactly!!!

[Bernardo de La Paz]

26. He thinks those are exceptions that prove the racist tropes he believes (as in "the exception proves the rule"). . . . n

[bif]

11. The dumbfuckery has no limits!

[Docreed2003]

13. Well knowing WHY Liberia has English as its first language

Or why it's capital is Monrovia would require some of that DEI history knowledge that Trump and his ilk are trying to erase

[senseandsensibility]

14. Horrors!

Anything but that!

[Beacool]

15. Trump is a MORON.

Voted into office by other morons. I despair for the country. How are we going to survive 3 1/2 years of this dystopic, evil and cruel administration?

[Grim Chieftain]

16. What an idiot and total embarrassment

Really, Republicans - THIS is your guy? THIS is the best you could do? Holy hell, the dumb, it hurts.

[Dave Bowman]

38. Yep, this is THEIR guy so the bar is incredibly low.

Stupid ignorant yokels.

[SCantiGOP]

17. I'll repeat my mantra again:

The unbelievable level of corruption and hate is all that keeps people from focusing on just how ignorant this guy is.
I wish we could force him to step on the stage at Jeopardy one time. He would set a record for negative score, all while complaining about “Fake Answers.”

[Dave Bowman]

39. Lol, that would be something I could pay to watch. To display his negative score he would need a bigger screen.

[Swede]

18. "Mr. Liberia were did you learn to talk good?"

[purple_haze]

19. lol

everything these idiots do is a giant dog and pony show. All they're trying to do is make more money on the grift.

[Deuxcents]

20. Inexplicably stupid.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

24. Racism leaves big stupid holes in racist's knowledge of the world. . . . . nt

[soldierant]

21. This is simply the same recial slur as saying that an African American is "articulate".

Wypipo expect all people of color to speak like slaves.

[llmart]

22. That was my first thought upon reading this post.

He might just as well have said, "Wow, you speak good for a black person."

[3catwoman3]

28. No doubt exactly...

…what he was thinking.

[bamagal62]

30. My first thought as well.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

23. Well-known white people trope: if they praise african people for good speech it's because they racistly expect gibberish

It's like how Tea Party cult members were shocked that Obama spoke well.

[Joinfortmill]

25. Trump is ignorant, arrogant and demented.

[DENVERPOPS]

29. Who was it that said

"It is better to be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt".........

[elleng]

36. Abraham Lincoln

[DENVERPOPS]

37. Thx

Did Lincon also say:

No one has a good enough memory to be a good liar

and

A Statesman is concerned with the next generation, a Politician, only in the next election...

[rubbersole]

31. "Why, you're so well spoken..."

Unbelievable ignorance and a shallowness never seen in the Executive branch. There have been some real winners in the WH over the years. But this group is the worst in all aspects. The Cabinet meeting yesterday should be mandatory viewing by everyone that voted for him. He's not well.

[senseandsensibility]

35. I agree with the mandatory viewing part

At the very least the corporate media should show the entire thing if they are going to show any of it. Just put it out there for all to see.

[Pacifist Patriot]

32. Ignorance combined with Racism is never a good look.

[elleng]

34. Because he's a FOOL!

[lark]

40. Stupidity and lack of caring about it would be my thoughts.

[JohnnyRingo]

41. I knew that and I'm not a statesman.

It's not my job to know I know many other trivial facts and have skills he could only dream of.
I'm not an immoral con artist though, so he's got me there.

[AuntieKatie]

43. What an

Ignorant fool he is.

[BumRushDaShow]

44. This is why DEI is needed

along with expanding what is "American History".

There is a reason why their flag looks like this -



I wonder what that reason is?????

[LetMyPeopleVote]

45. trump's stupidity made me smile

Link to tweet

[Iggo]

46. He's incurious.

[B.See]

47. Because it was just Trump's version of the

racist, "YOU'RE SO WELL SPOKEN" trope stupidly and revealingly uttered by bigoted fks like him, who believe we Black folk 'be ignant.'

That's why.
