English is currently one of the dominant languages on the planet due to the spread of the US and UK empires in the last century. With the rise of technology English may be made redundant with the advent of automatic language translation.
Just waiting for made up languages to become the norm (e.g. Esperanto), or hyper language learning.
Now ponder, as Douglas Hofstadter did, translating Lewis Carroll's Jabberwocky from English into French, German, and Russian (Cyrillic .GIF) or (ASCII transliteration).

Trick of the Art? "Art of the Deal" was just a marketing slogan to con people into signing up for the "Trump University". Explains why idiot and right wing religious nut job, and sister of mercenary Erik Prince, Betsy DeVos is still our secretary of education. Trump likes women secretaries. Easier to grab.
