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.

Who the fuck is supposed to drive the trucks then? I live in (upstate) New York and it seems like even up there a significant population of Mexican truck drivers.

How does being Mexican mean you don't speak English? Have you never met a bilingual person in your life?

I don't think I said they don't speak English. It's usually pretty broken in my experience. They're usually just guys who work long hours at a hard job.

I've actually seen deliveries from all sorts of immigrant drivers, Ukrainian stands out.
