Trump Boring People To Sleep! In spite of what MSM says-They weren't too impressed with the Dumpster

[kpete]

[onecent]

1. OMG That's HILARIOUS!!

[luvMIdog]

2. hahahahahahahahaha!

[DrDan]

3. I don't see headphones on them - without a translation to listen to, I would imagine it

would be quite boring.

[DURHAM D]

4. Are you assuming they don't speak English? nt

[DrDan]

5. yes

[DURHAM D]

6. Why?

[DrDan]

8. are you assuming they speak English well enough to follow the speech without a translator?

[DURHAM D]

10. Yes and it put them to sleep.

Perhaps they speak English better than you or I do.

[DrDan]

11. why would you make that assumption?

[DURHAM D]

12. Have you traveled out of the US much? nt

[DrDan]

13. I have lived and worked out of the US for 10 years - to include 4 in Riyadh

[DURHAM D]

15. In that room of diplomats and foreign service members

they speak English.

[DrDan]

19. so those wearing headphones are making a fashion statement

[grantcart]

25. almost every child outside of the US gets English as a foreign language

for at least 8 years.

It's not just to listen to us, it is the universal language. If a businessman from Korea is going to talk with a businessman in Argentina they will use English.

They watch a lot of American movies to practice their hearing skills.

Most Saudi Arabians who go to college will do it in English speaking countries.

[smirkymonkey]

20. I am sure they speak it better than Trump does at any rate.

It's amazing how many people think that because this is an Islamic country that everyone in it is backward and uneducated.

[drray23]

14. of course they do.

Every upper class saoudi is educated, usually in the best british universities. This audience is not random people off the street, they are the rulling cast.

[DURHAM D]

16. Thank you. nt

[DrDan]

17. I doubt those with eyes closed are Saudi - but yes I agree, most upper-class Saudis have been

well educated in UK or US

[Thinkingabout]

23. Wilbur Ross?

[DrDan]

26. yes - he is probably not Saudi

[left-of-center2012]

28. Agreed

I have several Muslim friends who came to the US as adults and were fluent in English before coming here.

Because (I think) many Americans only speak English, many think foreigners only speak their native language.

Of course, I may be wrong.
I was wrong once before in my 70 years.

[dalton99a]

27. Even among the "middle class", many went to college in the U.S.

I have not met a Saudi who couldn't speak English

[underpants]

7. No no they aren't asleep they just had to close their eyes an contemplate

Trump's philosophical existential arguments

[CentralMass]

18. They are thinking "I didn't lnow that you could stack it that high."

[smirkymonkey]

21. Touche!

[dalton99a]

9. Awesome.

[oasis]

22. Sec. Ross dreaming of getting his walking papers on returning to the U.S.

back to the private sector with your useless ass.

[Thinkingabout]

24. Trump lullaby
