The Twitter account for the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, considered one of the top resources of its kind, has been doling out plenty of jabs at Trump since before he even took office.

And they're at it again this week, tweeting subtle critiques of the White House by correcting its spelling, making jokes about misused words, and even adding some unflattering words back into the dictionary. Today, the social media account announced that Merriam-Webster was adding 1,000 new words to the dictionary, including neologisms like 'humblebrag' and 'truther' and slang phrases like 'face-palm' and 'throw shade'.

One of the words, though, seems to be pointed at the current Executive Branch of the US government.

The account tweeted today that the dictionary once removed the word 'snollygoster', considering it obsole

Ha ha ha! They're funny! You know what else is funny?

Merriam-Webster was purchased by Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. and the owner of that company is Jacqui Safra, pictured above. The Safra family is a billionaire jewish banking family from Aleppo, Syria I kid you not. According to this New York Post article:

"The Safra family originated in Aleppo, Syria, where they were traders before a circuitous route via Lebanon eventually landed them in Brazil. The eldest Safra, Joseph, is reportedly the world’s richest banker. The family’s billions include a large stake in the General Motors Building."

I guess "Merriam-Webster Twitter Account Pokes Fun at President Trump" is just more polite than "Billionaire jewish Syrian Bankers Poke fun at president Trump." But what do I know? I don't work in the journalism world.

What a nice guy. He remained silent when obama was president and people were be slaughtered in his hometown.

This man is sub-human for not speaking out against the genocide in his hometown that was committed by ISIS.

With each additional snarky remark, the Merriam-Webster Dictionary is further reduced in academic stature and general usefulness. Soon, it will read exactly like the National Lampoon used to read, when it made fun of everybody.

plenty of billionaires are buying up the old dinosaur media newspapers for $1, taking losses every year because they can pay for the losses with the change under their sofa cushions, then they can make up news. These goons can control what people glean from encyclopedias and even make up new words in dictionaries to manipulate weak minds and control language. Marxist filth.

I am claiming this scripture for President Donald Trump:

Isaiah 54:17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.
