President Donald Trump decided to lash out on Twitter at the media once again on Tuesday — this time for critiquing his poor spelling and grammar as displayed in his tweets.
And as usual, the tweet was filled with errors:
After having written many best selling books, and somewhat priding myself on my ability to write, it should be noted that the Fake News constantly likes to pour over my tweets looking for a mistake. I capitalize certain words only for emphasis, not b/c they should be capitalized! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 3, 2018
The first error is that Trump claims to have written books. This is almost certainly false. It’s not clear he’s written any of the books with his name on them. His most famous book, The Art of the Deal, was written with ghostwriterDavid Schwartz, and other ghostwriters were hired for his other books.
