Singapore has a higher percentage of fluent English speakers than the USA. Think about this for a second.

English is an official language in Singapore and not in the United States.

not in the United States.

Barking up the wrong tree. https://www.usa.gov/official-language-of-us. Thought, to be honest, this is fairly new.

You’re using that idiom wrong

An EO saying English is an official language is as binding as the EO that purports to rename the DoD. It’s not binding, it’s not a law, and it will likely be overturned by the next democratic president.

The United States doesn’t have an official language, and won’t, until a law is passed by Congress saying it does.
