US President Donald Trump praised Liberian President Joseph Boakai for his strong grasp of the English language on Wednesday. But the African leader was educated in Liberia, where English is the official language. #CNN #News
Trump praises ‘good English’ of Liberian president, prompting criticism across Africa
God bless President Trump: he knows how to motivate people to move forward. I appreciate him.
How embarrassing… and i voted for him
Trump complimented him saying where did you learn to speak so "beautifully"? He obviously didn't want to know where he learnt. Get over your hate
Almost Everyone speaks English Trump ,but NOT everyone speak the MANY Languages of Africa .
African Leaders Do Not Need Interpreters , US should be concerned Because American Leaders Need Interpreters for everyyyyyyy other language but English.hummm
Trump is so ignorant. He doesn't know that Liberia was America slaves.
They have their eyes on all of Africas resources for themselves. Africa needs to control its own destiny for the betterment of its people. Everyone been benefiting minus the inhabitants of the land. It’s their turn now . Africa was never poor just exploited .
Says Mr. Bigly lol
B
Whete did u learn?
Meaning..English ias if it were measure of intellegence and moher lsnguage of the Western .
..where did u learn Englush? U r black… english is to us… … bla bla.??haaaaa
But how is it a bad thing to praise somebody's English CNN is really fake news
You know… The Democrats are afraid of "I'll get Rid of You." …The Republicans are afraid of "I'll get rid of your Little Daughter."
And this is supposed to be celebrated?
An average West African has a better English vocabulary than an American quote me anywhere..!
Yes, Trump insulted him, I suppose
When will you guys quit hating on Trump?
Embarrasing? Did you not see and hear our last president? 😂
It might be wise to research your guests before they arrive, Mr. President as to not appear ignorant or insensitive.
TRUMP IS SO DUMB!!!
My sister was a lesbian and I’m a gay man and she would say hurtful things in spaces that I’m not there. She told me she hope her child don’t become gay. And regardless of what we may face. I was a product of showing we can live confident, safe and productive lives. So you can know gay people and ever experimented but that does not mean bigotry can’t enter your heart and subconscious’s. Caitlyn Jenner a trans white woman and she don’t even want trans right because she thinks like a white man. Y’all better learn to come together and celebrate all of us as black people show up. Cause if we do it together no one can take us down. It’s about being black. No exclusions. No uncomfortable interactions. I can say like family we will fight but don’t do us like the enemy.
Until te publication of the authorised version of the Bible English had only 2500 words. And first grammar published in 1500 CE.
It aint even the main point.
Inviting 5 different leaders into 1 meeting itself is quite rude and exceptional, not to mention cutting other's word.
It's a childish way of showing dominance and power.
Stop the hate on Trump? Bro people who LIKED Trump in the first place now hate him cause of his actions
Way to go, 0:42 Trump. What a champ. He's an embarrassment. His staff is afraid of him. Why don't they tell him to stop acting like a bully on the playground. PS…. you reap what you sow.
English is the official language of many African countries, but not all citizens of those countries speak English beautifully.
One day, Trump's proverbial politeness will likely lead him to congratulate King Charles III on his excellent English, asking him where he learned it.
When you think of the level of US history researchers… should we laugh or cry at Trumpian nonsense?
He was surprised he had a black southern accent is what trump really was saying 😂
Ironic coming from a cretin who struggles to construct a coherent sentence or a rational idea.
Pupetss
😂
When you tell black people they live in a “vibrant” community, it’s not a compliment.
Wow, I was wondering the same thing Trump was wondering
Nothing is awkward
Trump is karen
Can you ever remember a time Trump said this type of stuff to a 🇮🇱 diplomat?
Where Trump did learn english cause he wasn't born in England?
You can't fix stupid.
When I was a child, I had always had faith in the system and believed that ALL presidents were decent, well-mannered, well-educated, polished, and distinguished gentlemen. Boy, was I naive!
President Trump's busy agenda is something everyone should understand.
Trumps syndrome…..never dose his homework 😂😂😂
All what trump wants is Africa's resources
