So, they want only English speaking people driving trucks in US?

As a truck driver, I can say this is trouble spot, but as a normal person? What about Trump? He can’t even put a quality sentence together! So, what is the difference between those can’t or who can speak our language?

The only difference is Trump is being informed by the idiot who doesn’t have any credibility!

think I'll brush up and start speaking in Polish and see what kind of reaction I get at road side inspections, or at a weigh stations.
We kids learned to speak Polish from my grandmother and parents, but I haven't spoken it in decades, it's one of those use it or lose it things.

but I haven't spoken it since I joined the Marines in '64, if I tried to speak it now, I'm pretty confident that a native Pole would look at me in bewilderment.
