Donald Trump has praised the president of Liberia for speaking “such good English,” seemingly unaware that Liberia’s official language is, in fact, English.

At my high school, if you were a senior with a job (and it wouldn't affect your graduation) you could take a "work program" class which was supposed to be about personal finance and career goals. But the teacher sucked and every Friday, we'd watch a show tangentially related to jobs. That show? The Apprentice.

She thought Trump was a good businessman and we could learn some lessons. We were also assigned Art Of The Deal. She was not thrilled that we weren't into it.

And let me tell you, anyone who watches that show and reads his book then still walks away thinking Trump is anything but a bumbling idiot is a goddamn fool.

I've hated this dude for 20 years.
