There will be a Spanish version in a short time. The President stated work today Monday, Jan 23rd.
What's it matter when he started working, you just said he has nothing to do with the site.

Puerto Rico can become an independent country if their people don't want to learn English. It is time to stop pandering to them.

How are the Navajo served by govt. websites being in Spanish?

Uh, if he's allegedly everyone's POTUS, why would 'most' be sufficient for those who are US citizens at birth?

Yeah, I saw that too. Made me want to gag. How long before the big gold TRUMP sign goes up over the front of the White House?

Does that include the Navajos and the rest of the Native Americans who were speaking their languages long before the Mayflower sank anchor?

My ancestors came from Europe 100 yrs ago and survived by learning English, and if they can do it, so can anyone else. I cringe every time I see a sign that says "Vote Aqui" or however it's spelled. No, I don't care what the correct spelling is, I live in an English speaking country. If I went to a Spanish speaking country, I wouldn't expect to find "Vote Here" signs.
