Are you embarrassed for him yet?  How about for the country?

The only time I have ever been embarrassed and ashamed of a president was when one of them made an apology tour around the world .

NOPE !

Unlike Lifer Politicians and wacko politically driven folks think.....perfect really doesn't exist. Someone sneezed wrong one time or another in Life.

Gosh....maybe that's why people keep voting in the same Dino-Sorcerers. They're already PERFECT ? jrSmiley_78_smiley_image.gif

I think 'accusation' is a seventh grade word. Maybe sixth.

Oh geez. What grade did you learn about auto-correct in apps? Just try Google, for example. If you type in "accuis" it will assume you are trying to type "acquisition." It's not a hard thing to do with grown-up fingers on a cell phone keyboard. In case you don't get why, take a look at a keyboard. The I is right next to the U. If you're not careful, it's really easy to hit both.

Generally speaking, I look at all my comments after I post them to make sure there are no spelling errors or typos (to the best of my knowledge). If there are any I usually go back in and fix them.  While I don't expect the president to have time to do that , he could have someone whose job that is BEFORE they get posted to twitter, not after. 

It's embarrassing as Americans to see our "leader" fuck up the English language as much as he does, and just as embarrassing to see that he has sycophants like those seen on this thread who accept every atrocity on the language that this clown commits.

It's called "hypocrisy." You would defend or ignore something in Obama that you enthusiastically attack in Trump. They're both human beings who make little mistakes because they're tired or in a hurry. I'm sure that's what you would say about Obama, but when Trump does it, he must be mentally deficient.

Hypocrisy.

I'm right there with you. I hate the sloppiness. I hate the casual typos. And it's not just the president. Our whole society is doing it. But at worst, it's lazy, not a matter of feeble intellect or substandard education.

Call it what you will, but orange conman should get a friggin dictionary and LEARN how to spell and what words are what, he's how friggin old?

But again, to some he can do NO wrong when he is WRONG 99.99% of the time.

You mean, like a book? A big book? He's tweeting on a phone and you want him to pull a big book out of his butt? 

Get real! He's not confused about the meanings or spellings of words. It's an auto-correct mistake.

Since you apparently live under a rock where they don't have Twitter or smart phones, look at this article on funny auto-correct mistakes:

My aren't we the snippy one. Perhaps if the world put their phones down if for only a moment it would become a better place , if only by making folks think again rather than relying on their electronic other.

Since we are being snippy, I would say there is plenty of room in that fat arse of His to house the Oxford version of the dictionary.

Yep, and on top of that it's right in the title of the seed everyone knows he meant accusation, otherwise they would be about falsely acquiring things using acquisition forms.

I agree he should proofread, but acting like he can't spell or doesn't understand the word is dishonest. Is it too much to ask critics on the Left to not blatantly lie about a simple thing like a typo in a Tweet?

Why bother when he knows that his supporters are poorly educated and most don't know how to spell "accusation" anyway?

The real question is what percentage of his supporters are even functionally literate?

You are assuming it was auto-correct. He has misspelled so many simple words over the past couple years that there is no reason to assume anything. It's more likely that this man is simply not good with words.

Good for you. You mind melded with Trump and typed it in just as illiterately as he did.

WHO puts an 'i' in accusation?  

Note that you ALREADY typed the U in your test. 

The next letter is S and it is nowhere near the U or the I. 

FAIL.

If you had read and paid attention, you would have known I already explained how the I gets in there and you wouldn't have made that part of your argument. So you either ignored what I wrote, didn't understand it, or misrepresented it. Pick one.

No, you actually ignored the point I made that the I is right next to the U as if I hadn't said it.

I don't know why you find it impossible that a person could accidentally hit I right after the U, particularly when working the tiny keyboard on a phone, but I can tell you anecdotally, that my fingers often hit more keys than I was going for when typing on a phone. And the way auto-correct works, once that happens, the rest of the letters you type for the word you wanted can be disregarded in favor of what the software "thinks" you were trying to type.

I was 7 Y/o when I learned to spell and pronounce accusation, among many other words that had to do with law enforcement. Being as my Father was a police officer for 15 years, I learned to spell and pronounce words that I learned from him when I was very young. When I was 10 y/o my Father took me to the police station and had me review the display of all the different kinds of dope that could be found on the streets at the time. And it as a large display, with all the paraphernalia that went with them. He wanted me to know what they were, what they were called, what they were used for, what they did you when you took them, and how they were spelled and pronounced. This was his way of educating me in an intelligent manner, so that I would not learn them on the street from those who engaged in fairy tales to entice kids into trying them. 

Spelling was a big deal in our house. When I was 8 y/o my Mother started making me look up 10 words a night in the dictionary, how to pronounce them , spell them and their definition. Then I got a test on them. If I missed even one, the next night it would be 20 words, ans so on. And the words could not be less than 8 characters. My knowledge of the dictionary and words came in hand years later when I as the Secretary of the Board of Directors of a Technology firm in No Virginia.

Sadly, I have not been successful in teaching my keyboard to spell worth a dang, and it likes to think it knows more than I do. (sigh)

What does Obama, or the GOP, have to do with my comment? It seems it is not possible to make a comment here on NT that does not have to do with politics, or any President, current or present. For some of you here anyway. Got to get a political snark jab in no matter what someone else's comment is about.

If that is all you have, don't bother commenting to me anymore. I am not interested in your, or anyone else's snark and political slap fests. It's boring. Tiring. Useless. I have no interest in it.

What does how the GOP was founded have to do with my comment? Nothing. You simply have to drag politics into it for your own personal kicks and giggles.

Nor does my comment have anything to do with Obama, or any other specific President. However, if you must.....there are other Republican Presidents who may not have known any better than what you imply Obama of lacking, and Trump is certainly in that group. 

Double standard much. Your prejudice is showing brightly. And replying to me as I asked you not to do by post your comment as a indirect reply to me as a way to circumvent replying to me directly is more than childish at best.

Take it to the sidelines. There is no goal.
