Trump To Sign Executive Order Making English Official Language of U.S.

At long last, English will be the official language of the United States. 

The Wall Street Journal broke news this morning that President Donald Trump is planning an executive order to make English the official language of the U.S. for the first time in our history. 

The nation has never had an official language before, a rarity - as 180 or 195 countries around the world have one.   

At CPAC in 2024, Trump addressed how absurd it was that we don't have one, telling the crowd; "We have languages coming into our country. We don’t have one instructor in our entire nation that can speak that language. These are languages—it’s the craziest thing—they have languages that nobody in this country has ever heard of. It’s a very horrible thing."

The order rescinds an absurd mandate issued by Bill Clinton that required federal agencies and recipients of federal funding to provide language assistance to non-English speakers.

English is recognized as an official language in many countries across the globe, often due to historical connections with the British Empire or later cultural and political influences. Countries such as Antigua and Barbuda, Australia, the Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Botswana, Cameroon (alongside French), Canada (alongside French), Dominica, Eswatini (with Swati), Fiji (with Fijian and Fiji Hindi), Gambia, Ghana, Grenada, Guyana, India (with Hindi and other regional languages), Ireland (with Irish), Jamaica, Kenya (with Swahili), Kiribati, Lesotho (with Sesotho), Liberia, Malawi (with Chichewa), Malaysia (used in legal and administrative contexts, though Malay is the national language), Malta (with Maltese), the Marshall Islands (with Marshallese), and Mauritius all designate English as an official language, either by law or in practice. 

But liberals will somehow find a problem with adding the U.S. to the list, of course.
