Trump To Sign Executive Order Making English Official Language Of U.S.

Trending Politics News

February 28, 2025

President Donald Trump surprised the country on Friday by promising to sign an executive order later in the day making English the official language of the United States.

Doing so negates a Clinton-era mandate that federal agencies provide explanations of services and benefits in languages other than English, and it will be the first time in the country’s nearly 250 years that it has an official language. A signing ceremony is expected to take place on Friday in the Oval Office.

The move adds the U.S. to a list of 180 out of 195 countries that have certified their own official languages. Despite the U.S. Constitution and Declaration of Independence being written exclusively in English, the political willpower to officialize its language was never there until now.

Last year, President Trump hinted at the possibility of an executive order after railing against progressives who he claimed sought to undermine the country’s heritage by fighting past attempts to make English its official language.

“We have languages coming into our country. We don’t have one instructor in our entire nation that can speak that language,” Trump said while speaking before the Conservative Political Action Conference in 2024, Fox News reports. “These are languages—it’s the craziest thing—they have languages that nobody in this country has ever heard of. It’s a very horrible thing.”

A preview of the executive order signaled that it would also celebrate non-English natives who had immigrated legally and learned the language. Making English official will “empower immigrants” to unite under a common language, an official said.

Why?  Half the English speaking people in this country can't speak it intelligently anyway....

Maybe so we can, at least temporarily, stop having to produce street signs in a dozen different languages. Not to mention all manner of government documents.

American English?

Is it 'harbor' or 'harbour'?

Is it 'trunk' or 'boot'?

It is a soft assimilation technique. Until a few decades ago, America was all about assimilation. America was called 'The Great Melting Pot'.

Then the activist (anti-America agitators) came up with their 'National Pride' movement with the sole purpose to divide America into camps and tribes. It worked. America is more divided today than ever before. A common language provides a path to cohesion.

One of the biggest and most vitriolic issues in Europe is the obstinate refusal of immigrants, especially Muslim migrants, to assimilate into greater European society. So, the immigrants end up building their own little fiefdoms inside the country in which they live. Essentially they create their own little countries with their own rules, their own allegiances, and their own laws inside the European country.

They become the very definition of a Fifth Column with the ultimate goal of subverting and disrupting the nations which take care of them and pay them housing, welfare, and healthcare.

The EU mandated and achieved the overwhelming malignant immigration policies which the Democrats fought so hard to bring to the United States, and it is destroying Europe.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I know that, but is so pervasive  and prevalent in our day to day now that it is getting harder and harder to extrapolate that away from mainstream English.  Listen to anyone under 25, and get back with me.

I don't think you need to worry about that any more.  The boundary between the dialects has become porous.  I've see "bespoke" used in American documents, and thanks to the Harry Potter films retaining the British dialect, everyone knows what "snogging" means.  (Personally, I'm annoyed my fellow Americans called the salad green rocket by the Italian name "arugula", when there's a perfectly good English name for it:  rocket.)
And when they behead your own people in the wars which are to come, then you will know what this was all about.

what I hate is having listen to listen to some long message in English, then again in Spanish and only after that do they give the press 2 for Spanish option(why do I have to listen to it in Spanish if they are going to give that option? What really fills me with anger are the ones that prompt me to press 1 to continue in English  9999hair out0000 9999hair out0000 9999hair out0000

Used to be called Ebonics, now it’s just texting ‘shorthand’ apparently.

A form of 'ebonics' is called 'pidgin English'. Pidgin English is spoken all around the world in local forms, including in America.
