Question: What's your New Year's Resolution?

First Lady Melania Trump: "Peace on the world."

President Trump: "Peace is right but I'm not sure you're supposed to say a resolution out loud."

Einstein Visa my ass!

Especially when he decided to run for office. They seem to otherwise be all about keeping up appearances but don’t care about her difficulty with English.

I read a interview donald did years ago and he said at first he thought Ivana's accent was cute but after awhile it got on his nerves. I wonder if he feels the same about Melania.

We'd prefer this peace to happen on the surface (on) rather than underground (in), would we not? There being a lot more people 'on' the earth ... than 'in' it at any given time

This is the kind of mistake someone who doesn't speak English all that well would make.

We do also say 'Peace On Earth' ... yet 'Earth' and 'The World' are largely synonyms, no?

Just sayin'

Lots of peaceful bones since the beginning of time underneath the Earth after all.


If she had said in it would been known that she means to wish us death to us all.

"World Peace". What an ignorant bimbo. And we are supposed to believe that she is fluent in five languages? She barely has a grasp on English when anyone else who has been here for that amount of time would have mastered the language. She is an absolute idiot.
