'This is huge!' MAGA goes into conniptions as Trump forces truck drivers to speak English
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.
"This is HUGE!!! English only!" wrote GuntherEagleman, while TheSouthGAJohn wrote, "No more '10-4 buen amigo' on the airwaves."
"Good! Welcome to America now speak ENGLISH!" posted Lynn Loera.

kwasny007 called it "more positive progress! English IS the official language of the United States."
MAGA FOREVER 47 posted, "For the same reason that all pilots, must speak English to fly. Then all truckers must do the same."
"The DOT Physical drivers are supposed to get every 2 years requires that they can READ English. This has been a topic of conversation in the walk-in clinic where I work," wrote Pam Harris.
Martin Cohen wrote, "That is great news! As a trucker myself I have met to [sic] many non English speaking drivers that must have gotten their licenses illegally. Because they would have someone else take the test for them, then they would pay thousands of dollars to get that license."
A couple of posters wrote that "enforcement" was the toughest challenge.
"Not sure on this one: English speaking requirement ALREADY exists in the Federal Motor Carrier rules and regulations; it just needs to be uniformly enforced across the US!!!!!!!!!! "posted Vic Morgan
JRock wrote, "It's already in the laws. It's not enforced. That and too many major trucking companies with connections can get anyone through the process of getting a license. I drove a truck for 25 years. I've seen it personally."
Others called for the English language requirement to extend to Lyft and Uber drivers, as well.
"How about rideshare drivers to [sic]? I work for Lyft and I know people told me here in California that they’ve had drivers...didn’t know English. And then they had really bad experiences. Like the people got lost. You have to do a background check and I couldn’t believe that they got through," wrote INCStayHuman.
