President Donald Trump has signed an executive order declaring English as the official language of the United States, saying it will help ensure a "unified and cohesive society” in a nation that has long prided itself on being the “melting pot of the world.”
he tries so hard to be macho and gung ho, but he lacks the gravitas and instead comes off as a de facto prima donna. his modus operandi is faux pas ad nauseam - every day is like a blitzkrieg of déjà vu. we must declare him persona non grata en masse (via coup if necessary), so we can finally say adieu, ciao, sayonara, etc.
The move revokes a mandate from former President Bill Clinton that required government agencies and organizations that received federal funding to provide language assistance to non-English speakers.
Ah, there it is.
Yup. Everyone will treat this like a silly, “wow so dumb and pointless” thing.
It’s all quite calculated.
This “use executive orders to bluff until people treat them like actual laws” strategy is starting to get really annoying.
He is really nullifying the importance of what an executive order is. From Trump, these are just demands.
Not Russian?
I lowkey wish this was a universe in which this was actually the case. Everything else in that universe, up to this EO, has been exactly the same and the only difference is that this EO makes Russian the official language of USA. I kinda just want to see how far backwards some would bend to explain the move.
