Merriam-Webster Throws Shade At President Postliterate

[HOLA]

Trump's original tweet:

After having written many best selling books, and somewhat priding myself on my ability to write, it should be noted that the Fake News constantly likes to pour over my tweets looking for a mistake. I capitalize certain words only for emphasis, not b/c they should be capitalized!

Merriam responds:


Are MAGA Hatters going to burn their dictionaries now?

Well it was a nice run, marian-weber.

If you really break it down, there’s a really bitter intern sitting behind a keyboard, who is jealous as fuck of a guy that doesn’t know the difference between pour and pore, while they work at a dictionary.

Remember when Trump claimed he was the Ernest Hemingway of Twitter? looool. Hemingway would have given him a beating irl over that claim.

Also, Trump has never written a book.

Why would someone be jealous over someone's inability to spell? Ignorance is bliss, that sorta thing?

They’re jealous because they work at a dictionary and the best they can get on the billionaire and most powerful man to ever live is his shit tier spelling.

This is it, and kind of proves Trump's point.

people are so insecure and have to say something to defend their boycan't let the dictionary get a burn on Trump.

Spelling aside: for someone who loves to boast about how smart he is, his diction is that of a grade or middle school kid.

"When I look at myself in the first grade and I look at myself now, I’m basically the same. The temperament is not that different."

More honest a self-assessment than I thought he was capable of.

How would you know they are jealous?
That seems to be your default taunt whenever anyone is critical of President Trump. It is utterly asinine.

Perhaps, but the reality is that those aren’t pre requisites for anything in life. It’s just a way for weirdos to get hard.

I’ve seen very accomplished people not know how to spell, lacking basic knowledge, etc.

Because even someone as dopey as you isn’t sitting around correcting people’s spelling.

Worrying about people’s spelling means you’re a petty loser with nothing better to do.

Jealousy is a great bet as to why you’d sit around waiting for someone to fuck up pour/pore.

This is it, and kind of proves Trump's point.

He said he prides himself on his ability to write, but he can't write correctly even when talking about his ability to write. It doesn't prove his point.

Then why did Trump make a tweet about it, delete the tweet and correct it when the error was pointed out to him?

Because he’s petty as fuck. But he’s also the president, not a dork who works at the dictionary.

Must hurt you that someone like that is president; when you could never be one lol
