Most on the list did not get sufficient media attention, the White House said, without specifying which ones it considered underreported. An analysis of the 78 incidents by The Huffington Post UK found the assertions to be largely untrue.
Most strikingly it contained incidents such as the 2015 Paris attacks, the Orlando nightclub shooting and the downing of a Russian airliner in the Sinai Peninsula in 2015, all of which were extensively covered internationally.

My husband is a bright guy, but a terrible speller. But, when he write up official things for clients, he has me proofread.
It's really not that hard to use spell check or, if you're representing a professional or government entity, hire a freakin' proofreader. Be a job creator, pResident tRump.
You'll please more people if your message is written correctly. Some people won't know one way or the other, but many will. Spelling errors, typos, etc., are a distraction from the message and meaning for many people.
We don't choose to be distracted; our brains involuntarily sound the alarm that something's wrong. It's kind of like like people with perfect pitch, they can't help being distracted by an off pitch note.
