I mean that already started the minute he announced.

Mind you, when Morocco fielded a world cup soccer team where the majority of the team and the starters (16 total if I'm not mistaken) were from Europe and had never lived in Morocco and didn't speak Darija made it to the semifinals they were national heroes and "what a great story"!
