improper capitalization of words like "president" and "state."

Depends on usage. When referring to POTUS, "President" is capitalized. The president of a company is not.

The ingrate sounds like some union-thug educRAT.

I’d like to know how she would grade the “message” of those letters, although I already know the answer.

And why is this news? Simply a means to embarrass the President of the United States. Why isn’t she grateful that she received a personal response?

letter she received from President Trump would have barely earned passing mark

So what??? He still beat the "smartest woman in the world".

I wonder which MSM outlet will give this woman her own show, or build an entire sitcom around her character.

Another anti-gun teacher - don’t really care what she thinks but - does she actually think Trump wrote the letter?

Also, the sentence structure itself is correct (which is what really pisses her off) - she’s only objecting to the capitalization of State, Nation and President which is consistently punctuated throughout (makes me wonder if there’s a particular style guide they’re using) Pretty pedantic and petty and merely a political attack for her to throw a temper tantrum like the Parkland Punks.

Silly, limited intelligence and disrespectful. A true Democrat.

Too bad teachers didn’t spend more time doing that with their students instead of left wing indoctrination.

I assume you all know that this teacher posts on Free Republic. I can’t remember the screen name, I think it is Humble- something or other. Small world, isn’t it?

When I was in Viet Nam (67-68) a fellow soldier tried to get A GED diploma. He took the course and passed all the tests but to get the diploma from the last high school he attended he had to submit a request.

Some anti-military bitch/bastard corrected his spelling, grammar, whatever in his request and sent it back denying the diploma.

There was too much use of the “I did this, I did that” in the letter. Agree with the teacher. I would expect Obama to sign off on it but I’d like to hope Trump’s people would weed out the most egotistic sounding themes.

The capitalizing of Nation and Federal and such is just damn wrong. I’d be ashamed our president sent it out too.

I love what President Trump is doing, but this letter was atrociously written. I’d like to think that if you are hired to write correspondence for our President you’d write at least as well as me.

I’ve written several letters to linda.

1. She takes six weeks to respond, if at all.

2. She rarely addresses to subject of my letter to her. Many times she’ll resort to formm-letter-ese. Worthless.

She’s trying to create a “potato(e)” moment. New dem ads will say...”do you really want a president that can’t even compose a letter”?!

Perhaps now someone can teach this self-righteous fool a little class (if class can in fact be learned by the truly ignorant).
