MAGA fans are rejoicing on social media in favor of President Donald Trump’s plan to sign an executive order requiring commercial truck drivers to speak English.

Breitbart News reported that Trump would sign the order Monday evening because “President Trump believes that English is a non-negotiable safety requirement for professional drivers.” Last month, Trump designated English as “the official language of the United States.”

“This is such a big deal! So grateful for this, the roads will be much safer. Like many, I have seen many accidents or near accidents from unqualified drivers,” posted @coffeegirlvegas.

    You’re right. You just need to be able to read, write, and understand instructions. Wait that sounds like knowing the language

      Just like reddit to downvote someone who actually knows what the fuck they’re talking about because it doesn’t sound right to you.

          And yet I know more than you and am correct. Maybe because you are just guessing and don’t have actual first hand knowledge.

          It is quite common to have CDL drivers that only speak Spanish whether or not they’re supposed to be able to speak English.

            They still understood enough English to pass the test in the first place. I’m assuming with your first hand knowledge you knew that. Or are you just guessing there’s a lot of Spanish speaking people that got interpreters? This is about there already being a rule to speak English to get your license. It’s not about what language they primarily speak. This is just political theater to make magats happy. You’re just stuck on this “I have to be right or my online persona will be ruined”. Chill man. You don’t even sound smart online
