I'm sorry, the White House press office is issuing press releases about Trump's individual Truth Social posts now? I guess that I shouldn't be surprised.
Immediately below this in a broader screenshot is Donald's Truth Social post, where it's spelled correctly in the firt sentence. He has the best people working for him, always.
Remember they called a press conference at the Four Seasons hotel, got it wrong and booked the Four Seasons landscaping place on an industrial estate and instead of calling it off Giuliani went through with it?
It’s more that they don’t care that they can’t spell then the fact that they can’t spell. Condescension, indifference and outright cruelty are features, not bugs.
His world knowledge is just absolute minimum. Thighland, Button, Nambia. His SoD can't figure out the difference between ASEAN and Asian. Canada burned the White House, airports in the Revolutionary War, Frederick Douglass is still alive. Ignorance is the calling card for Trumpism.
I know it’s not nearly one of the worst things about Trump being back in office, but I did not miss official White House communiques that read like they were written by an angry tenth grader.
Is a tariff actually enacted if you spell it wrong? Has something like that happened before? It'd be hilarious if Trump tried to enact this tariff and someone brought it to court and won a ruling like "this tariff cannot be enacted because the subject country does not exist."
as a south american, this feels less like a dunk on a spelling mistake and more like pointing out the depths of ignorance of US fascists on any part of the world outside the anglosphere. i get why it's a common mistake but i mean, it also says something about the imperialistic mindset of it all.
You arguably can’t. Restrictions placed on “Columbia” would not apply to the nation of Colombia. They’d need another law naming the country they are actually trying to target. 🤷♀️

The Covfefe from Columbia is getting really expensive?
And the American people re-elected Trump?
When you look at it like that,…
CoLOMbia
Cuz when I use it on my phone the feature fills in Columbia but when I'm texting it out it will autocorrect to Colombian.
This administration is barely literate.
.... F*ck
Does he mean Columbia. MO?
😉
Violent fascists are in total control. Every institution has failed to stop them.
But, y'all are still dunking on them like it matters. "Ha ha, did you see that typo? They misspelled a word!"
I really have no hope.
Self-care matters.
Without being ableist.
I am dyslexic and I can spell Colombia just fine.
Can the US sanction a college?
Need more specifics on who to boycott.
This was a sanction against Columbia House - the record company.
