White House aides intentionally compose Trump tweets with grammatical mistakes

[RandySF]

White House staffers who sometimes compose President Trump’s tweets intentionally include grammatical errors to mirror the president’s style, The Boston Globe reported Monday.

The Globe, citing two people familiar with the process, reported that staffers will use hallmarks of Trump’s own manner of tweeting, such as unnecessarily capitalized words and fragmented sentences.

Staff members reportedly do not intentionally misspell words or names.

It is generally known that Trump does not write all of his own tweets.

The Globe reported that when Trump isn’t tweeting about a topic himself, aides will provide the president with a few sample tweets they could send from his account. He will select one and occasionally make edits.

A White House spokesman declined to comment to the Globe for the story.

Trump’s tweets tend to include typos from time to time, with some more egregious than others. Tweets that include misspelled words are usually deleted and replaced with a corrected message.

Twitter users were quick to mock the president on Saturday when he misspelled his wife’s name upon her return from the hospital.

“Great to have our incredible First Lady back home in the White House. Melanie is feeling and doing really well,” Trump tweeted, before deleting it and correcting it to Melania.

1. So they're fake Trump tweets

2. this is so embarrassing

I mean, I know the majority of us didn't vote for him, but it's still just so embarrassing that this is who is representing us on the world stage: a president whose aides intentionally dumb down his tweets. Dumb down. His. Tweets.

3. There you have it, double plus good duck speak.

Orwell would be thrilled.

4. This is all so very weird and messed up

Trump's ego initially demanded that the White House claim his tweets are, in fact, statements by the President and thereby official.

At the same time, he's such a bumble-f*ck he needs to have an escape hatch to blame others when a tweet really goes off the rails, which is at minimum intermittently inevitable.

Also, as his tweets have started to be used against him in court rulings, the policy wonks need a way to distance his tweets from Presidential directives since his tweets often provide fodder for plaintiffs challenging executive orders or actions.

Simultaneously his lawyers desperately wish the courts not to consider every tweet to be public statements of his own, as they seem to frequently confess to felonious activity or corrupt intent.


I suspect this story was pushed to the Boston Globe by "sources" who are trying to cover Trump's butt in the virtually inevitable case that his tweets are used against him in impeachment and/or criminal proceedings -- and it is being done so at this time because something of this sort has gotten on their radar.

8. Creating cover was exactly what I was thinking when I read this article

So they expect us to believe that after all of the failures coming from the White House that they are able to put together a well planned strategy that focusses on imitating trump's poor grammar?

5. WTF? Too lazy to read, and too lazy to write, evidently.

So he uses ghostwriters to get his f.u. message out. The sap just doesn't want to sap that limited amount of energy he claims he was born with. Everyday, something new, something to keep his name out there.

7. Why the hell would

anyone besides idiot use his twitter account?

I don't get it? Doesn't he have enough tweet shite going?

Did they misspell his wife's name?

9. So he's not even a genuine #fakepresident.

One of these days, the Official WH Twitter Editor is going to have a bad day and forget to edit out Stephen Miller's traditional "SEIG HEIL!" from the end of one of the "president's" tweets.

Meanwhile, the REAL #fakepresident quietly sits in the corner, playing with his poo.

10. I noticed this awhile back...

There are at least 3 or 4 different posting styles and at least one of them is using a keyboard.
