Trump does not understand German at all lol. Like JFK, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush and Joe Biden, Trump is monolingual. Bill Clinton, on the other hand, had some proficiency in German, he actually studied the language while at Georgetown.
Interesting my German is even worse than English, but if you have some basic knowledge you can still get around behind the border. Curse words like Schweinhund or Arschloch are great though.
Yeah, I'm as monolingual as Trump. There was a time when I could read Spanish and understand much of it, but I was too busy to preserve that ability, unfortunately.
They say James Madison (the 4th president) was fluent in six languages. I can't remember which ones, but if true, six is quite impressive
But you had to play it cool, had to do it your way Had to be a fool, had to throw it all away
