(21,646 posts)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 Melanias speech suggests that she hasnt entirely dropped Slovenian. And Trumps in-laws, who dont speak English, spend a significant portion of the year in New York, helping with Barron. Running parallel to Trumps belief in American exceptionalism is a sort of personal exceptionalism: the rules, even if he makes them, dont apply to him.

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.
