President Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive order on Friday designating English as the official language of the United States, according to the White House.
The order will allow government agencies and organizations that receive federal funding to choose whether to continue to offer documents and services in language other than English, according to a fact sheet about the impending order.
Designating English as the national language “promotes unity, establishes efficiency in government operations, and creates a pathway for civic engagement,” according to the White House.
Within hours of Trump’s inauguration last month, the new administration took down the Spanish language version of the official White House website.
Hispanic advocacy groups and others expressed confusion and frustration at the change. The White House said at the time it was committed to bringing the Spanish language version of the website back online. As of Friday, it was still not restored.
If there is a white supremacy angle, they’re obviously taking it.
SMDH at the improved performance Donnie diaper had with Hispanics this cycle, the leopards feasting.
You’d think they’d be upset! But I know too many Latinos who take pride in distancing themselves from other Latinos. There was at least one celebrity who apparently forgot her *monolingual* native accent after a few months abroad because of course she did. 🙄
English? Sounds too foreign to me.
Why not call the official language American?
And even American was from that Italian Amerigo. Why not call the official language Magaian or Trumpish…?
/s … if needed.
King Krasnov’s English, to ensure it’s differentiated from Queen’s English our friends speak across the pond.
Please no one show Trump this joke… after the Gulf of America shit I’m half convinced he’d actually do it.
Yeah it’s kinda surprising actually, saying that the official language is Murican is way more up his alley.
Plains sign language, the first language to be a unifying language of differing people in this area.
Or asl which is the only colonial language to be American
So the founding fathers chose to NOT have an official language, and orange muffin boy thinks he’s smarter then the founding fathers?
What an idiot
… creates a pathway for civic engagement
Literally the opposite. Love the doublespeak.
What about the damn grocery store prices?
They are already in English
Glad this dipshit is focusing on the important things.
I was really getting concerned about the Gulf of Mexico being named the Gulf of Mexico. And the 10 trans people that serve in the military. Those things were really weighing on my mind.
As long as you don’t remember that the transwomen who are being put into a men’s prison. Nope. Nothing to see here.
Id have thought he would choose a language he had a better grasp of
What, Russian?
I’ve met very few Russians fitting the criterion, and Trump doesn’t seem the type.
Here’s for hoping he finally learns how to speak it.
Oxford or Webster’s dictionary?
He can barely speak it
Oh when is he going to learn speaking it in a comprehensible manner?
GOOD LUCK INVADING CANADA WITH THAT
¿Que?
?!dice que?!
I’m confused I thought it already was.
Na, part of being a free country means you should be able to speak whatever language you want and follow whatever religion you wish. Slowly have to squeeze every freedom out of America.
