French was the language I studied in school. I'm rusty, but I can still read well enough to appreciate these! It sure helps to know we're not alone, these could easily be in any American newspaper... 
It's easier for us 
English is an international language.
Trump is a great subject for medias here too 
It is not amazing. America is not just a country among others.
This is why current events sounds so weird.
It as strange and unbelievable as Israël starting to praise Hitler 
I took it starting in seventh grade - through high school. And I did have to use it a little for my job, so I can read a little too. It makes sense around here since I'm in NE New York - not all that far from Canada. But you sure get rusty if you don't use it regularly and it's been quite awhile since I was in school.
And I totally don't get Trump on any level. I obviously wasn't around for WWII, but I certainly heard about it! Didn't this man take one history course in school?? And he was born just after the war so people must have been talking about it! And anyone, anywhere has to know who the nazis were! And they were as bad as it gets! 
As for English, I have been overseas and you're right, people in other countries are apt to speak more than one language and chances are that English is one of them. One place I visited was the USSR(!). I went with my grandmother as part of her peace group. One night I sat with another girl about my age at an opera. We chatted during the intermission, and I was definitely at a disadvantage. She obviously spoke Russian - was fluent in French and Italian, yet she kept apologizing that she "never finished" her English! Yikes! I managed to call up some of my long ago French, yet she apologized to me!
