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.”

    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.
