Trump tells a group of Liberian dignitaries they speak English better than their slave ancestors, calling it “progress.” The dignitaries stare in disbelief. A staffer whispers, “He thinks Liberia is a suburb of Atlanta.” A painting of a ship labeled “S.S. Monroe” hangs behind them.

Trump tries to flatter Liberians and ends up insulting all of Black history instead.
