MAGA fans are rejoicing on social media in favor of President Donald Trump’s plan to sign an executive order requiring commercial truck drivers to speak English.
Breitbart News reported that Trump would sign the order Monday evening because “President Trump believes that English is a non-negotiable safety requirement for professional drivers.” Last month, Trump designated English as “the official language of the United States.”
“This is such a big deal! So grateful for this, the roads will be much safer. Like many, I have seen many accidents or near accidents from unqualified drivers,” posted @coffeegirlvegas.
Not sure about other states, but in mine, the ability to read and understand English is a requirement for getting a license…
Now you could make an argument that’s not the same as speaking English, and my rebuttal is “should we ban mute, or speech-impared people from getting a CDL”?
I’m not really clear how they would even enforce this. They don’t have a database or standard test for speaking english.
FBI: “Do you speak english?”
Driver: “Sí señor. Aber ich lerne auch Deutsch.”
FBI: “Fatastich. Guten Abend.”
Well those people are already Undesirables under the rule of el trumpo, so their answer is… yeah?
