Madison Lake Police Chief angrily rants about non-English speakers at Yellowstone

Earlier this summer, Madison Lake Police Chief Dan Bunde was on vacation at Yellowstone National Park. Like many tourists from all over the globe, he was drawn to the park’s natural splendor – the geysers, the waterfalls, the hot springs.

But something was not right on this sunny day in this beautiful place. As he sat among the other sightseers, he pulled out his phone and began to record a monologue. Zooming in on his nose and his reflective sunglasses, he speaks softly, confidentially, into the microphone.

“So I’m sitting here at Yellowstone Park in the good old U.S.A. -- a proud veteran...” he says, tipping his hat to display the American flag logo. “...And listen to the languages I hear.”

He turns the phone around like a periscope, taking in the chatter from some of the fellow tourists talking and laughing near him. It’s difficult to make out exactly what languages are being spoken before he fixes the camera back on his face.

And in the process spend a whole bunch of dollars 💵 on travel, food, hotels and incidental items such as souvenirs. They help our economy, but this “gentleman” isn’t apparently bright enough to calculate that 2+2 = 4.

New York City is the mix of languages I hear there. Of course, there are other places where there is a profusion of different languages. But that was the first thing I noticed about NYC when I was much younger. Now, I listen for it when I go there.

Is this rant from a police chief another example of the Trump Effect?
