"I only speak one language"... to a room full of mostly bilingual people who also live in (central or south) America. 🤦🤦🤦
They should only speak Spanish to him just to piss him off.
Those leaders are far right bootlickers.
Including the president elect of Chile (oh god please nonono... bah he doesn't have the congress.)
Not beating the being stupid allegations...
Oh, good to know, because he can barely speak English.
He only speaks War Crime.
They should then switch to spanish as their lingua franca for that meeting (brazillians could pull if off).
Or switch to esperanto.
No shit, it would be so damn funny if the whole world just switched over to Esperanto as second language, even if only to spite US and UK. Haah, one can dream the wildest things.
There is a difference.
American is English but limited to a child's vocabulary.
The language of simpletons
What language were they speaking in England before they stole one from USA?
England? Well there was Cornish and Manx. Cornish went extinct in the 18th century but the last monoglot speaker died in the 17th century.
I am not counting Welsh since that is in Wales... And Scots Gaelic is in Scotland, its own country.
The Scots and Irish keep Gaelic alive just to piss off the British.
Well that, but also it's a really fucking cool language
Before or after the French took over in 1066?
This is a nationalistic move. To remove the washington regime away from other english speaking countries and brand itself as something larger. It makes the washington regime seem entitled to landgrabs. It makes washingtonlings feel superior to other english speakers.
It is as stupid as nationalism is stupid, but nationalism is great for ruling people.
imagine him thinking he has to speak LATIN in latin america. hes a mean drunk.
They speak Mexican!
USA is special kind of stupid that this probably gets a huge cheering back home.
Uh no. At least don’t paint us all with that brush please.
We gotta take our licks on this one. Look what we elected. It's like a "not all men" thing. Sure it's not actually all of us, but it's enough of us to be a problem.
I’m sorry, I don’t agree with you. I’m from California and we are sitting over here just as aghast as any European nation you could name and larger than some.
We sent 54 electoral votes for Harris to Washington. You want to show me a European nation that did more than that to stop Trump?
I understand Americans as a whole have a responsibility. But this guy was trying to make a specific play-by-play call about how Americans are reacting to this back home and I see no logic in sitting quietly and agreeing with that.
USA is a special kind of stupid, but a majority still oppose war with Iran and... you know... raping children, so Hegseth isn't too popular on the home front either.
a majority still oppose war with Iran and… you know… raping children
Yeah, I see, that's why that majority stopped a pedophile president from having the control of the country, or stopped his clique of rarely sober religious nationalists from starting said war.
lmao you're living in a fantasy if you think Americans have the capability to stop the government through instant, direct action
The only power we have is withholding our labor, and convincing people of the necessity of that when they're brainwashed by capitalism is not an overnight or even over-4-years affair
It's doesn't worth much since the majority just keep his ass tight seat waiting for a "miracle" or a "magic savior" for their situation.
Sounds to me like both of you are correct: most Americans don't like him but there are still millions of them who cheer him and his kind of populist actions and words.
