“This is an English-speaking country, remember?” It must be a bizarre feeling to be Donald Trump and to have a multilingual son who, at one point, spoke English with a Slovenian inflection. (“He has an accent?” Larry King asked, in puzzlement, when the family appeared on his show in 2010.) Trump had no problem lumping Columba Bush, who came to America legally, with other “Mexican illegals,” or mocking Jeb Bush on the ground that he “speaks Mexican.” (Trump retweeted both comments.) Yet Melania’s speech suggests that she hasn’t entirely dropped Slovenian. And Trump’s in-laws, who don’t speak English, spend a significant portion of the year in New York, helping with Barron. Running parallel to Trump’s belief in American exceptionalism is a sort of personal exceptionalism: the rules, even if he makes them, don’t apply to him.

with even te possibility that she might be First Lady. Of couse, I could never see her in that position either. Most people study up even traveling to another country...Spanish, French, whatever. She has access to tutors, and time. Pretty disrespectful not to learn the language better, IMO.

Trump voters probably have grannies speaking Italian or polish still knowing little English at home and that's fine but if they hear Spanish or Arabic thier brains explode.
