Americans who were watching television on Wednesday morning witnessed the startling spectacle of an English-speaking President, viewers have confirmed.
All
of the major cable news networks interrupted their regularly scheduled programs
to cover the phenomenon, as a man who was identified as “President” spoke in
complete, grammatically correct English sentences with no visible sign of
strain or discomfort.
Just
minutes into the telecast, thousands of viewers called the networks to inquire
if they were witnessing a hoax.
“I
couldn’t believe what I was seeing,” Carol Foyler, a viewer in Akron, Ohio,
said. “It had
to be special effects or something.”
While
the spectacle might have appeared jarring to many, cable news insiders reported
that the networks had in fact aired several hundred speeches by an
English-speaking President between the years 2009 and 2017.
