George Takei :verified: 🏳️‍🌈🖖🏽

He probably thought they just spoke “Swiss.”

Screenshot of an X.com post by Adam Schwarz (@AdamJSchwarz) reading, “Trump in Davos, Switzerland: ‘Without us, right now you’d all be speaking German’. German is the main language of Switzerland.” Below is a video thumbnail of Donald Trump speaking at a World Economic Forum podium with a blue “World Economic Forum” backdrop and “Annual Meeting Davos 2026” on the lectern.

@georgetakei not to forget, the Wehrmacht broke in Russia, the US were just part of the final cleanup.

Russia defeated the Nazis. I don't condone what came after, but for that much I am grateful.

@georgetakei IIRC, that was part of his rambling about Denmark, not referring to Switzerland. But, yes, he wouldn’t know the difference….

@georgetakei Trump is an idiot, dunking on him is fun, and that statement was dumb, but come on… That sentence refers to everyone present, a lot of who weren’t Swiss and doesn’t speak German…

He doesn't know, or care what language they speak.

@georgetakei "Big guy, dressed up as a Swiss Guard, comes up to me, tears running down his cheeks, says 'Sir, sir, thanks so much for saving us from having to speak Japanese!!!' and then kisses my left hand. And that's why I have this bruise there today." 🤦‍♂️ 🤬

@georgetakei "Ich bin ein Berliner" was an understandable, if sad and easiky avoidable, linguistic fail.

This is just a pathetic "I only speak English, and so assumed that everyone else in the world does, too."

And no one on his team was willing/able to do anything about it.

@georgetakei
This whole week has been one embarrassing act after another. The fact that we would send someone with obvious dementia to speak for the USA is indefensible.

At what point does someone call this elder abuse. Shouldn't he be left to play out the rest of his life on a golf course lying about score. He obviously just had an IV removed from this hand.

I can see nobody winning from this except the bigCorps.
oh oh, I get it, never mind.

No, he thought they spoke ‘cheese’. #ShitForBrains in #Trumpistan.
For the record they speak 4x languages in Switzerland; French, Italian, German & Romanish. Most speak English as well, but deny it. @georgetakei

@georgetakei To be fair: People speak Swiss German, which is about as German as Dutch is German (and write Swiss standard German, which is very much German). Or they speak French, Italian or Rumantsch in various dialects.

@georgetakei He forgot, prior to WWII like 30% of US citizens spoke German... and there was the biggest spinoff of NSDAP in the US. They held party right on the opposite side of WallStreet... and after WWII the GOP absorbed most of them...

@georgetakei

Wasn't that a whole joke routine in #Archer? Are we living in a world where a cartoon comedy about an idiot is actual reality?

How did it come to this?

Hiti

हिति , in Nepāl Bhāṣā, is the word for a shared community water tap. Even in modern Newar cities, these ancient structures still pour out fresh mountain water piped through ancient underground filters and conduits. They are a place to wash, to talk, to drink, to meet the locals: a nourishing, refreshing social-ecological place.
