MAGA fans are rejoicing on social media in favor of President Donald Trump’s plan to sign an executive order requiring commercial truck drivers to speak English.

Breitbart News reported that Trump would sign the order Monday evening because “President Trump believes that English is a non-negotiable safety requirement for professional drivers.” Last month, Trump designated English as “the official language of the United States.”

“This is such a big deal! So grateful for this, the roads will be much safer. Like many, I have seen many accidents or near accidents from unqualified drivers,” posted @coffeegirlvegas.

      That’s informational text, not literature.

      My severely undereducated state rep trumpee Angela Rigas replied to me that her top three works of literature are the bible, constitution, and declaration of independence. She had no response when I told her those aren’t literature.

        I was being sarcastic, because I know you’d get a lot of extremely similar answers.

        Besides… the Bible is fiction

          Fiction would count as literature. I’d say it goes in the self-help section next to the Tony Robbins cassette tape series.
