The Deplorables are saying it's a typo-Bullshit

[DemocratSinceBirth]

Waite is a misspelling. Waiy is a typo because of the proximity of the keys. A mind is a terrible thing to waist, errrr, waste.

[ZoomBubba]

1. I'm not sure ...

... if it's really that important. Typos happen. Is there anything to be gained aside from a "heh" at his expense?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

2. It is a misspelling.

A misspelling of a one syllable word betrays ignorance. A typo betrays carelessness.

Waite is a misspelling. Waut is a typo.

[ZoomBubba]

5. If someone cared enough ...

... I'm sure they could go back over his Tweets/Facebook posts from before he ran and settle this.

But honestly, does it really accomplish anything to say. "Ha ha, you dumb cracker!" I mean, sure, it's a chuckle but it doesn't really move anything forward.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

9. Cracker could be considered a racial slur and there is nothing remotely southern about Trump.

[ZoomBubba]

14. It only counts as a racial slur ...

... if someone who isn't white uses it against a white person. But I guess the guy is actually orange, but I'm afraid Cheetoh might be a bit too far.

I call people honkies all the time IRL. It's sort of become a word I use, which can be a term of endearment or a sign of exasperation. Cracker is what I use instead of motherf-cker.

[TexasProgresive]

17. He's a ritz cracker or maybe

one of those cheese crackers. He wants to be the ritz but he's just cheesy

[KittyWampus]

19. More like a Cheezit

[TexasProgresive]

35. That's what I was thinking.

Although except for the color he could be a Triscuit, completely tasteless unless you broil a piece of bacon (re. pork) on it.

Now this looks like an appropriate triscuit with a 'Rump theme that might be a little healthier (Smoked Salmon and Pesto).

[LanternWaste]

11. Accuracy in and of itself, moves things forward.

Accuracy in and of itself, moves things forward. Maybe not in a fashion dramatic enough for news broadcasts or people under the pretense they know what's relevant dn what's not, but without accuracy, this world would be much different...

[DemocratSinceBirth]

16. I just think it's telling he can't spell wait.

[pintobean]

22. Is this telling

or just ironic?



Seriously though, this just looks petty. It's not like we need to go looking for faults in Trump.

[cwydro]

25. Omg!

I was going to point that out, but thank you.

[ismnotwasm]

29. The postir is isn't the presdent-elected

That's jus nastie

[DemocratSinceBirth]

34. That is a classic typo.

If LanternWaste spelled not knott that would be a misspelling.


BTW, on another board I misspelled a word and got called out... I got pissed...By the end of the argument the guy who made fun of my misspelling made one himself.

[ismnotwasm]

4. Everything helps

In my opinion, Trump needs to look like a fool, like a goon, like a buffoon. He needs the credibility he has built up with people who voted for him to be shattered, they need to to be embarrassed they ever even thought about voting for him.

This isn't going to be hard to do--he wants to make statements as president-elect on Twitter like an asshole, he should use spell check, and then check the spell check. In his case how he uses "their, there, and they're" can have consequences.

[ZoomBubba]

8. I think you overestimate ...

... the power of Twitter typos.

But at the end of the day, concentrating on bad grammar and typos is a waste of energy. Most Americans don't care because they can't spell either.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

12. I have more faith in my fellow Americans, at least on this one.

Wait is a hard word to spell wrong.

[ZoomBubba]

15. At the end of the day ...

... what do you prove and who cares besides ... you know, us?

[ismnotwasm]

20. This is an interesting argument. Why care?

Because he's the president-elect and she should try to look like one. He doesn't try. The conclusion I draw from this is, he doesn't care. I am concerned at this lack of caring.

Plus I like to make fun of him

[ZoomBubba]

24. I do too ...

... but I don't see it being a very persuasive talking point. Ninety-five percent of people will look at you and go "so?"

[ismnotwasm]

27. Well yes--it's not like I'm going to go out and make it a topic of conversation

This kind of thing people just roll their eyes in disgust if they don't like him and forget about it. It is useful, however in building a mosaic, a larger picture of his being unfit for office.

I don't think he's stupid, but unfit? Oh yes.

[ismnotwasm]

18. Nobody is "concentrating' on typos.

We are laughing at the disgusting president-elect, who doesn't give enough of a shit to correct his spelling and who is a Twitter addict. I'll laugh at his sorry ass every chance I get.

[boston bean]

7. This isn't the first misspelling, just the latest... there have been many.

[SticksnStones]

23. In a word, potatoe.

[pintobean]

3. Sew watt

[DemocratSinceBirth]

6. Typos happen, misspellings too. But wait is a hard word to spell wrong.

[pipi_k]

32. Plus...

it's not like his fingers are so huge that he's hitting multiple keys at the same time...

[pintobean]

33. Hey, good to see you!

[JHan]

10. It matters because instead of tweeting he should be reading a book.

[KittyWampus]

21. Or getting an intelligence briefing.

[NCTraveler]

13. Does it really matter. These aren't typo's.

“An ‘extremely credible source’ has called my office and told me that Barack Obama’s birth certificate is a fraud”

“Ariana Huffington is unattractive, both inside and out. I fully understand why her former husband left her for a man – he made a good decision.”

“You know, it really doesn’t matter what the media write as long as you’ve got a young, and beautiful, piece of ass.”

“I will build a great wall – and nobody builds walls better than me, believe me – and I’ll build them very inexpensively. I will build a great, great wall on our southern border, and I will make Mexico pay for that wall. Mark my words.”

“When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending the best. They’re not sending you, they’re sending people that have lots of problems and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bring crime. They’re rapists… And some, I assume, are good people.”

“All of the women on The Apprentice flirted with me – consciously or unconsciously. That’s to be expected.”

“The beauty of me is that I’m very rich.”

“It’s freezing and snowing in New York – we need global warming!”

“My fingers are long and beautiful, as, it has been well documented, are various other parts of my body.”

“The point is, you can never be too greedy.”

“My IQ is one of the highest — and you all know it! Please don’t feel so stupid or insecure; it’s not your fault.”

“The only card [Hillary Clinton] has is the woman’s card. She’s got nothing else to offer and frankly, if Hillary Clinton were a man, I don’t think she’d get 5 percent of the vote. The only thing she’s got going is the woman’s card, and the beautiful thing is, women don’t like her.”

“Number one, I have great respect for women. I was the one that really broke the glass ceiling on behalf of women, more than anybody in the construction industry.”

[TrekLuver]

26. I never point out typo's whether it's an accident or a true misspelling. It's annoying.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

28. I only call out misspellings when I dislike the person.

In any case I want my president to be able to spell "wait", no e.

[TrekLuver]

30. Oh my goodness...didn't realize this was referring to a Trashpot misspelling on

Twitter. What a total and utter EMBARRASSMENT.

[blitzburgh55]

31. Lol, he's had several typos
