"I only speak one language"... to a room full of mostly bilingual people who also live in (central or south) America. 🤦🤦🤦
They should only speak Spanish to him just to piss him off.
Those leaders are far right bootlickers.
Including the president elect of Chile (oh god please nonono... bah he doesn't have the congress.)
That makes it more funny.
I knew it lol I was waiting for it. I give it 6 months until the national language has been renamed to "American" through a illegal executive order
He only speaks War Crime.
Not beating the being stupid allegations...
They should then switch to spanish as their lingua franca for that meeting (brazillians could pull if off).
Or switch to esperanto.
No shit, it would be so damn funny if the whole world just switched over to Esperanto as second language, even if only to spite US and UK. Haah, one can dream the wildest things.
What language were they speaking in England before they stole one from USA?
Before or after the French took over in 1066?
England? Well there was Cornish and Manx. Cornish went extinct in the 18th century but the last monoglot speaker died in the 17th century.
I am not counting Welsh since that is in Wales... And Scots Gaelic is in Scotland, its own country.

Oh, good to know, because he can barely speak English.
There is a difference.
American is English but limited to a child's vocabulary.
The language of simpletons
And nazi, he speaks nazi too. That sieg heil in the photo didn't happen by coincidence.
It's an accurate snapshot of the American executive branch right now... the moron MAGA President asleep at the wheel, the moron MAGA underlings putting on full display their idiotic rendition of fascism.

This is a nationalistic move. To remove the washington regime away from other english speaking countries and brand itself as something larger. It makes the washington regime seem entitled to landgrabs. It makes washingtonlings feel superior to other english speakers.
It is as stupid as nationalism is stupid, but nationalism is great for ruling people.
So Simplified English instead of Traditional English, right?
Simpleton* English
Honestly, the way they're speaking. I'm fine with them calling it "american".
It gives the rest of us a heads up that we should use small words so they can understand.

Sabes cómo se llama uno que habla tres idiomas? Trilingüe.
Sabes cómo se llama uno que habla dos? Bilingüe.
Sabes como se llama uno que habla un sólo idioma? Americano. Se llama americano.
This fucking moron made himself the punchline of the joke that we invented to mock those like him.

USA is special kind of stupid that this probably gets a huge cheering back home.
Uh no. At least don’t paint us all with that brush please.
We gotta take our licks on this one. Look what we elected. It's like a "not all men" thing. Sure it's not actually all of us, but it's enough of us to be a problem.

USA is a special kind of stupid, but a majority still oppose war with Iran and... you know... raping children, so Hegseth isn't too popular on the home front either.
a majority still oppose war with Iran and… you know… raping children
Yeah, I see, that's why that majority stopped a pedophile president from having the control of the country, or stopped his clique of rarely sober religious nationalists from starting said war.

He probably wanted to say "English (simplified)"
We have the dumbest leaders ever," one person commented. "What a weird thing to be proud of," a second person added"
this is some concise journalism. they didnt bother to even note if the people they were quoting were posting on twitter or a facebook thread in any way. just said "some dude said this".
the irish star is a dirt rag tabloid, this isnt a source worth posting. surely other platforms are reporting on this
The literal dumbest people run everything.
I wonder what his mom thinks of him turning into such a huge douchey asshole.
Is she surprised, or did she see it coming? Maybe he's always been so. He's the kid who made new rules for games and cried when the other kids wouldn't follow his rules.
“You are an abuser of women – that is the ugly truth and I have no respect for any man that belittles, lies, cheats, sleeps around, and uses women for his own power and ego,” Penelope Hegseth wrote in the email obtained by the New York Times.
“You are that man (and have been for years) and as your mother, it pains me and embarrasses me to say that, but it is the sad, sad truth,” she added, advising her son to “get some help and take an honest look at yourself”.
