Hearing about our valuable alliances in Asia is a waste?

I didn't see how Trump was stunned or taken aback from anything the PM said but I will say the PM definitely spoke better than Trump with more specificity on what they discussed considering English is not his primary language.

SSgt GG-15 RET Jim Lint - Yes. Colonization throughout history has reshaped many cultures but again English is not the original language of the Philippines.

MAJ James Woods - Cambridge and Harvard...I do believe he speaks English better than me.... :) Lee graduated from Trinity College, Cambridge University, as Senior Wrangler in 1974 (gaining a Diploma in Computer Science with distinction as well) and later earned a Master of Public Administration at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government. From 1971 to 1984, he served in the Singapore Armed Forces where he rose to the rank of brigadier general. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Hsien_Loong

Having lived and worked in Singapore, I can tell you that they were a British colony and speak very proper English.

SSgt GG-15 RET Jim Lint - You are going out of your way to explain why PM Lee speaks so well while Trump just bragged about 'going to an Ivy league school and is very intelligent'. Guess going to an elite school doesn't come with an expectation to speak very good English and capable of clearly elaborating in a conversation with others when you're a leader doesn't apply to everyone. Haha!
