Donald Trump slags media who ‘pour’ over his tweets, and a dictionary responds

President Donald Trump says his awkwardly capitalized tweets are no mistake.

In a Tuesday afternoon Twitter posting, Trump is delivering the public service announcement about his digital statements.

He tweets: "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!"

Spelling errors may be another matter. He misspells "pore" in the tweet.

Dictionary editors Merriam-Webster didn't let the mistake slide.

In a tweet, they corrected the president's mistake, and even took a shot at his hair.

Moments after sending that message, Trump corrected another Tuesday posting critical of his favourite political punching bag — the press.

Trump initially tweeted that The Washington Post is "a discgrace to journalism." He has since corrected that misspelling.

Not gonna lie, I've gotten "pour over" mixed up with "pore over" before. The difference is I'm not a narcissistic dickhead who thinks I'm a wonderful writer who can do no wrong (and makes constant grammar and spelling mistakes to boot).

I didn't know the difference either, but I wasn't bragging to the world how good a writer I am. So I still laugh.

You guys have no idea how hard is for us non-native english speakers to understand this guy, personally I don't know if he's misspelling a word or my english skills are not good enough.

OP and everyone mocking Trump is going to feel very stupid when this is explained to them by wunderkind genius Ben Shapiro

Not that Trump lying should be a shock to anyone, but didn't he have a ghost writer write all of his books for him?

He's so stupid. It's actually embarrassing to see how ill bred and ignorant he is.

Dear God. It really is like seeing a child trying to prove he's "all grown up".
