Trump can't even eulogize Sean Connery without butchering Englsih

Trump said that Connery "has past on to even greener fairways"

Holy Republicanese, Batman, I think we learned the difference between "passed" and "past" in the fourth grade. Or maybe the third grade. Republicans keep screaming that the only language for the USA is English, and yet their last two presidents can't even speak or write it as well as a typical Swedish high school student.

The first two films, he probably thought, "that's who I want to be." By the time the third film came out, Trump had probably convinced himself that it was James Bond that wanted to be like him.

He can't credibly advocate the sole use of a language he has never mastered himself. He probably was the sole cause of the torture and even execution in North Korea of Kim Jong Un's English interpreter.

Kim: What did he say?
Interpreter: I have no idea. I only know Korean and English!
Kim: Put this faker in irons!
