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.

Ah yes, those unqualified drivers that are being hired as professional truck drivers. It's their lack of English skills that are the problem.

How was their totally legitimate and law abiding employer supposed to know about their lack of ability or driving licence? They are the real victims here, being forced to hire them and all.

ah, there's the old rub. how many of trucking companies are going to be held accountable for hiring them? i'd wager it's just about as many farmers that get fucked for hiring lettuce pickers. oh yeah, how's that lettuce picking going now?
