President Donald Trump has signed an executive order declaring English as the official language of the United States, saying it will help ensure a "unified and cohesive society” in a nation that has long prided itself on being the “melting pot of the world.”

    He is really nullifying the importance of what an executive order is. From Trump, these are just demands.

      They’re not really even that, this is really just a mildly spicy press release.

      As in what is this executive order actually intended to achieve? It’s a dog whistle designed to embolden idiots that say things like “we speak english in this country”.

        The move revokes a mandate from former President Bill Clinton that required government agencies and organizations that received federal funding to provide language assistance to non-English speakers.

      Well this is true, he’s also illegally firing all of the people that make these things happen. This is basically the outcome of the God King status he has acquired for himself. It’s official business therefore not illegal even though it’s against the law.

      Don’t cheapen it by making it sound less dangerous than it is…
