Bob Marley sang, “No woman, no cry.”
Trump says, “No English, no drive.”
Yesterday, I asked you to interpret this headline:
“Trump administration threatens to yank state funds over truckers’ English proficiency.”
Thank you for your replies on the blog.
Here, “yank” means “to revoke”, “to cancel” or “to stop.”
So you could say, “Trump Will Stop Giving Money To States who Give Driving Licenses To Truckers Who Don’t Know English.”
That’s nice.
But the important question is, Will it fit on a baseball cap?
MASEA? (Make America Speak English Again)
MTSEA? (Make Truckers Speak English Again)
MEGA? (Make English Great Again?)
Let me know your size and I’ll send you your cap.
