In a moment that’s already drawing buzz online, President Donald Trump praised the President of Liberia for his English skills during a public exchange — asking:
“Where did you learn to speak so beautifully?”
While the comment may have been intended as a compliment, it quickly sparked reactions, given that English is the official language of Liberia, a country founded by freed African-American slaves in the 19th century.
Social media users pointed out the irony, with some calling the moment “classic Trump” and others questioning whether he was aware of Liberia’s history.
