This man is the president of the US OMG!!
Yes, he is. And you, what are you?
What will Trump say when he hears Akuffo Addo speaking impeccable English and French? This man is funny.
Hahahaha, he wants to him in his first term. Not impressed.
Well, what is the difference between the two Pol Pots.

Hahahaha, he went to him....
Say no to islam and convert to a real religion. Search online for ways to move away from evil islam. You can join ex-muslim groups online and be safe.. ......you are not alone.
Trump's comment would have been appropriate in 1890
Hahahahahaaa
Do Americans speak English?
Actually, their forefathers decided not to use the English in intoto. Who really advises this President on their history.
He me him once. That was when he betrayed Burkina Faso.
I like that. Only God can decide, not man.
Typical dry Ghanaian humor, is Trump a good example, what's his English like? international translators have difficulty translating the man's quasi English, same language like the mob, haven't you heard? you must be among th ...

LOOK AT NANA ADDO’S ENGLISH!
Not British, not American, and not Ghanaian English either - just some funny slang.
Trump is a lunatic! A nice country like the US should not vouch for a nincompoops like Trump. He offers no advantage to them. He claims the US is being exploited by other? Really? How can the most powerful country in the worl ...

What a piece of cow dunk this man is. Total disrespect for fellow humans. An apology of a president .
Cow what?? Have you heard a typical Liberian’s English before?
@ Apraku
Apraku you're dead the American Embassy will deny you a visa for looking down on their President. That's why they are now demanding our Internet conversations.

Thats the first time Trump heard an African leader speaking good English, very disgracing
what do you expect, i understand it is a shame but have you heard Tinabu speaks before
Tinibu is Nigerian and he has his own language.Emancipate yourself from mental slavery and brainwashing. Ok?
Hmmmmm, yes sir, yes sir, from one president to another president. May every person and every country strive to be self-sufficient.
Tinubu worked with Mobil Oil Corporation as an accountant and rose to very high position before venturing into politics, is Mobil owned by Ghana? remember he schooled in America
White wash!
And you hear the Liberia President saying yes sir to Trump. Wow for Christ sake Mr Baokai you are President of Liberia and even older than Trump. So is more appropriate to address him as Mr President not this yes sir massa bu ...

People should leave Trump alone. The mishmash we speak, butchering the English language with our vernacular expressions like "on the light", and our strange pronunciations is not English. Let him admire good English when he h ...

@Gaska, you are right to an extent. Now, a lot of English people in Britain do not thimk highly of American English. That said, nobody with praise President Tinubu's or George Bush Jr's malapropisms in English
NOT THE AKUFFO ADDO ARCAIC STUPID ACCENT
Yes Sir hmmmm
Trump does not respect African leaders, he thinks he is dealing with school children or what ? how can he talk like that to a president like himself
Didn't you heard yes sir yes sir?
Yes I did, it was very uncomfortable I must say

This Trump guy is full of himself so he thinks African's can speak good English what an ignorant fool
Please respect Man. He is a President in front God his Creator. Please respect People who ever they are; Even God respects You.
You see how ignorant Trump is.!!! How can such a person respect other races apart from caucasians? He needs to travel around the world to get rid of his prejudices and racist posturing.
Former Pres Nana Akuffo Addo also speaks good english

Donald Trump is mad
Seems to be still in the mind.
Great people speak their own language.
Lessons.
Sadly, this man also needs education about how his own USA shipped their blacks back to Liberia.
The pain of the indigenous of the land today.
Ignorance is bliss.
Trump is an German so he doesn't know Africans can speak good English. Crazy Babylon.
From God our Father.
Trump is very stupid and knows nothing Liberia was formed as country after slave trade was abolished and dumped blacks from America there. Claims to be an American but knows nothing himself.
Learn History too. You and I were not there.
This is an insult in disguise.
Trump is a complete imbecile
Such a compliment lack the weight Africa needs to develop. Though language has its part in nearly every aspect of human endeavour, there are equally people who speak impeccably yet lack basic necessities. We need someone who' ...

He should have told him that he was educated in a shit hole country.
I think this incident is one evidence that Trump is a bigot, uncouth and uncultured.
Yes indeed!!
This is.fawning. It’s used to unsettle the persy
Someone should tell this guy to get off his high horse. Its lost on him that Malcolm X, Luther King Jr, Jesse Jackson, Rev. Al Sharpton, Obama are all our descendant, which of the POTUS compares to Malcolm? Africa is the home ...

This is not compliment it’s sarcasm, if he thinks there are no Africans who can speak better English than Americans then he is in a dream.
Trump shows disrespect with his utterances. Come on. And the librarian leader responded with a Sir. Oh Africa
Those are the kind of leaders we have in Africa and you think the World will respect us? Our leaders are our problem and why the continent is as it is. A whole President saying Yes Sir to another President. The nig***r is alw ...

He went there to beg.
Of course that is part of the lexicon of a beggar.

How was he expecting him to speak? He always jas lows for Africans. He treats our leaders like a headmistress treating his school boys
To me, it was derogatory. He shouldn't have said that.
I dont know the background of the liberian leader but if you know how the typical liberian speaks english then you will know that trump was just at his derogatory and sacastic mood. I dont understand why african leaders woul ...

That was a below the belt comment. It is a not so nice at all.
Does he think Africa doesn't have any higher standards at all?
Where can one hear the good English the Liberian president spoke? Trump is just being sarcastic. He knows African leaders are not up to their responsibilities and are failures and disappointment to their citizens.

He said the same thing to Friedrich Merz, the German chancellor..
@Christine. I can not agree with you more. It was a disrespectful comment as if we don't have schools, colleges and universities in Africa.
I would have been an annoyed and or angry citizen if i were to be a Liberian!!! How can my WHOLE President saying “Yes Sir” Bombo
Again, Americans and their Ignorance. They have crapped all the Intelligence and Common sense The British people gave them some years back. Just imagine their LEADER who is Not aware that LIBERIA used to be a colony of the U ...

Trump said exact the same thing to Friedrich Merz, the German chancellor..
So all Africans who feel offended are nothing but ignorant dramaqueens..
Should he make such reckless comment? It is absolutely irresponsible because he should understand that those sitting with him are leaders from other countries and courtesy demand that respect should be accorded to them first ...

@Pelicies. I can not agree with you more.
Very childish question from USA president who has messed up his country.
Trump had heard that Liberians have this weird sounding intonation which makes it difficult to understand them, George Weah for example so he was surprised he could understand the man, however, typical Trump, very disrespectf ...

I'm not surprised to hear DJT ask such a dumb question. It's typical North American ignorance and stereotypical bias against Africans. Had same remarks made to me way back 1980 and found it exceedingly annoying rather than a ...

African leaders, if you do not want to be seen as beggars, sit up, think and act decisively. Trump sees these African leaders as nothing more than some freeloaders who should be discarded at the nearest dumpsite.
Boakia, has disgraced his office as the President of Liberia and it's people by kotowing to the American President by responding" Sir Sir" Just like a conversation, between a " Slave master, and a Slave. I pity him for sel ...

@Blay.Unfortunately, he is not alone. There are a lot of such leaders across the continent of Africa. Have you forgotten the behavior of the Kenyan President Ruto when he visited Joe Biden in the White House?
Boakia thought he was sitting before "God" and should expose his usual African self. What is the meaning of "Sir, Sir"? Absolutely ridiculous.
Oh! Kwabena Trump! Hmm it is well
What was Trump expecting? His remark wasn't a compliment. It was an insult and exemplified his disdain of blacks.
@Quadjo Bedu. Yes indeed!!
Totally disrespect to the Liberian President
