Why Trump WANTS Us to Mock his Typos
"Gang — can we talk? Can we all agree on something?
Donald Trump graduated from high school. And college. He has lived a pampered life surrounded by servants and sycophants, but he can read and is capable of spelling commonplace English words. The White House surely employs any number of people capable of proofreading and editing. And Trump himself certainly owns up-to-date electronics that include standard spell-checkers and auto-correct features that catch normal typos and grammar errors.
Why, then, are his tweets so full of errors? "
"Because it helps him with his base, primarily made up of the less-well-educated. Who actually do make spelling errors all the time. And hate getting called out for it. Trump spells badly on purpose. Mark it down. He communicates with millions of Americans on his own all the time, and chooses how to spell the things he spells for a reason.
So let’s dispel once and for all with the fiction that Donald Trump doesn’t know what he is doing. He knows exactly what he is doing.
Now no, as with all things Trump, he’s not a strategic genius. But like all gifted con men, he does possess a talent for manipulation. Like great showmen and hustlers before him, Trump instinctively understands what will speak to low-information constituents. Remember — he loves the poorly educated. He has said so.
And in the case of attention-grabbing typos, it’s a match made in heaven."
