Facepalms all round as Donald Trump praises the Liberian president’s grasp of English, when it’s the country’s official language
11.
English is the official language in Liberia.
There’s no sugar coating Donald Trump’s ignorance or his racism.
Bro is a dumb racist.
Straight up.

In fairness, who could expect the President of the United States to know anything about the country of Liberia, capital city of Monrovia, and whose flag looks like this. https://t.co/9meA1qRisa pic.twitter.com/KWyqJ7xE3T

Liberia was literally founded by freed American slaves. English has been the official language since day one. Trump’s ignorance is embarrassing, this isn’t how a president should be ♀️

He’s so painfully freaking stupid. He knows nothing. His cabinet knows nothing. His little shitty fascist f*cks in congress know nothing. His dumbass cult of fools know nothing.

He managed to simultaneously look like an idiot, be condescending and use the 'well spoken black man' trope. We are an international embarrassment. https://t.co/18qe0XOUtX

If we didn't who already know just how fucking intellectually bereft Trump is, the shitshow of dumbfuckery we just witnessed would be shocking. Trump is the dumbest, most ignorant and incompetent president in US history. As an American, I apologize to the president of Liberia. pic.twitter.com/7BOXwm2WVP

So this is the handsome and sophisticated leader of our country who asked the President of Liberia where he learned to speak such beautiful English today! pic.twitter.com/P4ISIrUyas

Understandable.
This is why I tell people I’m Canadian when traveling internationally.
