I love the approach of using Twitter to get blunt, direct messages out at all hours of the day and night.

My only complaint all along has been that he needs to make sure the messages are grammatically correct, and the words are spelled correctly. He looks like an ignoramus when he spells simple words wrong.

I don’t think misspellings are a big deal. If anything, they show he’s unfiltered (doing the tweets himself). And everyone makes typos It shows him as human as the plumber or grocery store clerk that reads them

I forgot to say I agree with your first statement!

And at first his typos bothered me, but I began to see him as a multi billionaire that doesn’t dictate tweets to a staff member, as most would. We get it directly from him! I love that.

Give examples of misspellings.

As to grammar, I’ve seen some punctuation omissions and word phrasing quirks such as redundant clauses, but it’s Twitter limits so I don’t really give a flip. Also, he’s accustomed to the devices of marketing and advertising, and those show up in his repeating a point in a single sentence.

But misspellings? Haven’t seen any yet, but then I am not following yet every one of his tweets.

The President speaks and expresses himself extemporaneously, and he occasionally changes his points in mid-sentence, but always seems to come back to them. It is part of what endears him to people because they know those are real thoughts and not manufactured statements designed to say nothing so as not to offend.

President Trump, when he has time, can sit and write a perfect speech, and he can do it without anyone’s help. He can also produce some of the most inspiring and motivational videos that I have ever seen, on par with the best of Ronald Reagan.

When President Trump was a private citizen in Manhattan, he was a tabloid media sensation and attraction because of his colorful language and life. He learned how to get free advertising by playing the press. At first, the leftist press would go ape with his comments and spin them in confusion. After years of making themselves dizzy with Donald Trump’s politically correct-incorrectness, the left finally got to the point he could say anything to anyone on any subject and the left’s eyes would just roll in back of their heads putting their minds into a self-induced coma. He beat them over who controlled the media narrative in Manhattan and now he’s doing it worldwide.

It took two years after January 1981 for Ronald Reagan to be taken seriously, and during that time more and more people grew to love him while the left went apoplectic that this ‘dunce’, this ‘stupid cowboy’, this ‘dangerous idiot’ was ever elected. It won’t take that long for the vast majority of Americans to get onboard the Trump Train. Freepers, as always, are early to the party.

It's the scourge of digital communications via hand held devices. Many of the most common errors we see, are the fault of the device, and not the user. Auto-correct and the tiny interfaces are cruel masters.

I'm one of those who's a stickler for getting my written communications just right, and I always proofread every post. Even so, the device sometimes defeats me.
