Hey, look. Someone learned a new word. "Apoplectic."





Donald J. Trump‏Verified account
@realDonaldTrump

Bernie Sanders supporters have every right to be apoplectic of the complete theft of the Dem primary by Crooked Hillary!

I was going to say somebody else wrote that for cheeto, given the lack of typos and misspellings, but then there's "apoplectic of" so...never mind!

You guys know that at least some of his tweets are written by PR writing staff, right?
Easy to tell, they're the ones that form complete sentences and use college-words like "apoplectic".
The rest of 'em you can figure are his alone.

It was also used by Vanity Fair to refer to Trump himself, so he may have taken it reflexively and thrown it back hastily. (E.g. "No puppet! You're the puppet!&quot

If he did write the tweet, I'm sure he had a copy of the Vanity Fair article on his lap to make sure he spelled it correctly.


That GIF of yours, though....yikes!

he likely picked up the word from an article about him published earlier this week.

the spelling is correct, but the usage is not, so i'm inclined to think he did write it with some built-in help from his phone.
