The high-horse people. They must Be Best under all circumstances. I love when they gallop in telling us how naughty we’ve been.

Shouldn’t it be “Be the Best?” Just as a slogan? So the grammar is at least good?

It means substance doesn't matter and anything can fit. Be your best. Be the best. Be Trump's best. Be Russia's best. They all fit.

doesn't understand that English uses articles, which her native Slovenian does not. She, and most Russian speakers are accustomed to not using articles. What she meant to say was "Be THE best".

I don't know about Czech. When they learn English it is hard for them to remember the articles.

Czechoslovakia always used articles properly when speaking. Sheesh!

She's so vain. And can't speak proper English.

I am so tired of seeing that ugly squinty expression in pretend FLOTUS eyes, like she hates all of us, not just her fat rich criminal husband. When she's looking at Vlad, that expression goes away, and she looks actually happy for a major change, so it's not just her natural look.
