I’d imagine Americans and Jamaicans both speak the language about as well as each other, all things being equal. Why would they not?
The average and below average Jamaican speaks English better than most Americans and certainly the Trumps.
Eric Trump: "As I showing up to the studio, there was an older Jamaican man who came up to me in very broken English and said, 'Mr Trump, I'm very sorry about Charlie Kirk. He was an amazing Christian. I am Charlie Kirk.'"

I said this on twitter even though it’s not my place to say it: if the flag of your country is understood to threaten ethnic minorities in it, you have a problem. That’s *your* flag, English people. If it’s taken from you things will only get worse.
Today people went around my neighborhood in north east London spray painting St George’s crosses onto people’s homes. Many of these houses have non British people living in them.
This is getting very dark, very quick.

Groypers Melisma, or fear of difference, is an acute psychological condition that pushes thoughts into an elaborate upward spiral with gaps in cognition filled with mental embellishments in the style of popular singer Mariah Carey.
HANS Groypers? Scunthorpe Wanderers striker, mid-70s?.. Yeah... "Handy" Hans... the memories...

WHY CAN'T SOCIAL MEDIA JUST BE THIS STUFF ALL THE TIME smdp
News from Finland. A 9-year-old lost an especially good stick he’d had since he was 2. He hung up 20 posters. A few days later it was returned. It had been found by a 2-year-old, who wanted to keep it for herself, but her mother made her return it. She got toys, flowers and candy as a reward.

Same age as my girl. Imagine being so fucking depraved you think an eight year old girl is your enemy.
13 September 1933 | A Belgian Jewish girl, Esther Eveline Werkendam, was born in Borgerhout. She lived in Amsterdam.
At the end of July or beginning of August 1942 she was deported to #Auschwitz and murdered in a gas chamber after the selection. https://t.co/gLGZtXmq8L
