Trump Praises Keir Starmer’s Good English
15 JULY 2025

WASHINGTON—Expressing surprise at the PM’s articulate grasp of language, President Donald Trump praised British Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s good English. “Such good English, where did you learn to speak so beautifully? Were you educated? Where?” said Trump with his interest piqued as if he were a child let loose inside a candy store during a phone call with Starmer. “Oh that’s very interesting, beautiful English. I have people at this table who can’t speak English nearly as well,” said an astonished Trump after Starmer said he learnt how to speak English in England as an Englishman by other English people who also spoke English because they were also English. When asked to clarify who he meant when he said other people at the table couldn’t speak English nearly as well as the British Prime Minister, Trump bluntly pointed to Secretary of Health and Human Services RFK Jr. without saying a word. At press time, Trump remarked that Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney was “possessed” after hearing him speak English and then French during a press briefing which was broadcast on lesser news outlet Fox News, with a headline that read “MARK CARNEY SPEAKS THE DEVIL’S TONGUE” as presenter Sean Hannity spoke in modulating tones of fear.
