During a meeting with the leaders of several African nations at the White House, President Donald Trump took a pause Wednesday to compliment Liberian President Joseph Boakai’s command of English.

“Well, thank you,” Trump said after Boakai spoke. “And such good English, that’s beautiful. Where did you learn to speak so beautifully?”

“Where were you educated? Where? In Liberia? Well, that’s very interesting. It’s beautiful English,” he added. “I have people at this table can’t speak nearly as well.”

English is Liberia's national language.

Reached for comment, White House spokesperson Anna Kelly called Trump’s remarks “a heartfelt compliment during a meeting that marked a historic moment for U.S.-Africa relations.”

I think we’re past embarassing.  Fool me once, shame on you.   Fool me twice, shame on me.  He’s a perfect representation of what the US has become.  I now feel it was inevitable.

If he was working any other job, he would get fired for discrimination.

I have to say this was way too much embarrassment to handle

Either too stupid to understand how patronizing and offensive his words were, or just straight up being a racist p---k. As always with Trump, there are no good options. Anyway, I'll go with the latter.
