"Languages are Coming Into Our Country"

[QP!]

We continue to see this nimble mind at work...

Trump’s Border Lament: ‘Languages Are Coming Into Our Country’
The former president kicked off his appearance in Eagle Pass, Texas, with a heavy dose of xenophobia

“We have languages coming into our country, nobody that speaks those languages,” Trump said. “They’re truly foreign languages. Nobody speaks them.”

Is there any sane or intelligent person anywhere who believes these are 'unknown languages' that 'no in the US speaks or knows'?

Arguably this is not dementia, and could simply be stupidity, but either way Magats brains like Damocles are exploding and you will soon see them cry out about TDS asking why we are focusing on this and not JUST Biden.

Buckle in and enjoy the hypocrisy and show.

Word salad was amusing when he first took office. Now it's a major issue in the election.

I say it's more stupidity, but there is glaring evidence that he has frontotemporal dementia.

America and other English speaking nations have been diminished by the fact that English may very well be the most spoken
"second language" on the face of the earth, at least in highly developed nations.

Thus English speaking people--those who speak English as a first language-- are the least likely to be bi-lingual
and thus the most likely to appear uneducated to others.

I first understood this nearly sixty years ago in college.
Foreign students with a plethora of first languages among them spoke close to perfect English with one another.

At the time, I was still fluent in Sicilian dialect so I didn't feel that stupid.
I should have, however.

I so admire sophisticated, educated people who speak multiple languages.
They're truly citizens of the world.

That's a good thing, Asshat.

I don't think bilingual people are uneducated. Actually, I admire them (to a point) I wouldn't mind speaking 2 languages, then I could visit East Jabip.

Being in my chosen career, just about everything uses English measurement (inch). Most older lathes weren't geared to turn metric threads,
CNCs however, are. Point being, I couldn't recommend hiring someone who does not have knowledge of the English form of measurement.

It's hardly unreasonable to avoid hiring people who don't have the requisite skills for the job offered

[unless you think that they're worth training].

English measurement is far more complicated than metric. Metric is based on 10, 100. Pretty simple in comparison.
So someone who only speaks Spanish (for example) not cannot communicate, they don't know English measurement.

(one might be worth training if they can at least communicate with us monolinguals)

Trump is an idiot when it comes to certain things … but then we all knew that already. But sadly his diatribe will resonate with his hard core base.

Knowing another language or two is a good thing. I speak a broken Chahta and can usually communicate well enough in Mex to get by, if I can get the other party to speak slowly enough. On top of that I’m fluent in English and can morph that into hillbilly in order to communicate better with the parents/guardians of my students at Parent/Teacher Conferences.

My son is minoring in Japanese with aspirations of picking up another foreign language before completing his Masters degree. He’ll never take the time to learn Chahta and that’s sad to me.

One of the new ones is Trump language.

I used to give him the benefit of the doubt that is simply stupidity but when you consider the DECLINE in his speaking faculty i think it is undeniably some early signs of dementia.

As much as I never liked what Trump would say historically, he was actually quite nimble with words and fluent and a good speaker. I rank him up there with Bill Clinton in terms of being 'slick' with words and i often offer this interview with Barbara Walters, as a demonstration of that.


Unlike Joe Biden who has NEVER been fluent with words or a good speaker (the latter due to his stutter which makes people pause and seem to struggle), and thus contrasting his prior self with his current self shows dramatically less decline as compared to Trump.


And most old people will demonstrate some decline in word dexterity and fluency and ability to communicate as quickly. That is not shocking. Trump and Biden should both be expected to show some degree of that. But ONLY TRUMP, shows such a dramatic decline from his prior self. And only Trump regularly is seen just lost in the moment trying so hard to remember a word like "origins" and the best his mind can give him is "oranges". Biden shows NO SUCH decline like that, which is clearly indicative of dementia.

QPeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, derp, derp, derp.
You are complaining about this comment? You are very stupid.
Have you been to a Drivers license station, hospital, or heard then explain to the cops they did not understand that a stop sign ment they were to stop.

Try and be even a little bit smarter.

Keep in mind most of Trump’s base don’t understand adjectives beyond, “great, huge, and biggest ever,” a fellow American employing multisyllabic words would be a foreign language to them

Trump might be the most incoherent college educated adult I have ever experienced

Nothing new here as far as having lefties like yourself take something Trump said out of context, somewhat like how biden took Trump's words of addressing a woman in the front row at his rally as being a mistake of not knowing his wife's name. Truly stupid stuff.

But as far as Trump saying we have languages coming in to our country that nobody speaks, he's referring to we having to find teachers who are fluent in Spanish, Mandarin etc. in order to teach these kids in the first place. We've already seen some of these illegal non-English speaking kids getting shoved into school systems across the country and where legal American students are sent home to be handcuffed and zoom their way through another one of these government led policies.

Trump is our most illiterate president ever.

Any 5th grader would whoop his ass in a Spelling Bee contest!

Amazing since trump grew up in NYC where there are hundreds and hundreds of languages spoken daily

It's a well-known cliche that New York City is a melting pot, but we do have the linguistical bonafides to back it up: according to the Department of City Planning, New Yorkers speak over 200 different languages. "Nearly one-half of all New Yorkers speak a language other than English at home, and almost 25%, or 1.8 million persons, are not English Proficient," the city says.

Agree. trump has been a pathological liar his entire life, so he's very smooth when it comes to covering up his obvious mental decline. He just starts spouting nonsense in an attempt to steer the discussion elsewhere

Beautiful said. I feel exactly the same. My friend from Ukraine speaks fluent English, Russian, Ukraini. Her son does as well, with the addition of German.

Amazing statistics. I had no idea. Thanks for posting that.
