Trump Says He Prides Himself on Ability to Write

President Donald Trump sent a tweet Tuesday, saying that “fake news” looks at his tweets searching for errors.

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 pore over my tweets looking for a mistake. I capitalize certain words only for emphasis, not b/c they should be capitalized!

A number of writers and journalists took notice of the tweet.

“In defending his superior command of grammar and spelling, Trump misspells “pore over,” wrote CBNC reporter Christina Wilkie.
