I got something in one of my feeds about presidents who were multilingual.
https://historyfacts.com/famous-figures/article/which-presidents-were-multilingual/
Several of them are alleged to have been fluent in four or more languages. I actually have strong doubts about fluency; they maybe could speak two, possibly three, fluently, but probably could only get by in the rest.
Trump is the only one who can't competently speak even his native tongue. He speaks English as if he only began learning it as an adult.
There's the old gag:
What do you call someone who speaks three languages? Trilingual.
What do you call someone who speaks two languages? Bilingual.
What do you call someone who speaks only one language? An American.
And now: what do you call someone who can't fluently speak any language? Trump.
