Donald Trump has praised the president of Liberia for speaking “such good English,” seemingly unaware that Liberia’s official language is, in fact, English.

I despise Trump more than most but this article is silly. Only about half of Liberians speak English, and less than 2% speak it as their first language. It’s the official language because there are 31 different languages spoken in the country and they need something to be lingua franca so why not make it English for added international appeal. India is similar
The official language of Liberia is English because the country was founded by former slaves and free black people from the USA.
Also why the flag is almost the same I guess?
Now you make me question whether it’s a future deportation destination…
Presumably the leader of a country would be able to speak its official language, like how so many Canadian PMs speak both French and English
And even then, a better person wouldn’t inject narcissism into their stupidity
