It really shouldn’t be this easy to make fun of a president’s spelling skills on national television, but Donald Trump’s presidency is special. No president has really used social media in the same manner that he does, which is quick, fast, and dirty. Jimmy Kimmel turns the spotlight on these mistakes and puts down the gauntlet for a trio of kids.
Now it isn’t about spelling the words correctly or doing better than Trump. It’s about trying to spell the words in the way that Trump has spelled them on his Twitter account over the years.
These aren’t crazy words. We’re talking “tapp” and “honered,” which are far from the wildest words in the dictionary. But the president still managed to misspell them in posts that went out to the entire world — either out of recklessness or just pure idiocy. And those are two things some of us know quite a bit about on a daily basis.
Only one of the kids manages to get the word correct, which is a little unfair since there are so many ways you can misspell a word and only one way to spell it the right way. Trump might’ve gone the easy route with his mistakes, but they are hardly the only path to take.
The worst part is that this could become an annual thing now. If the president is firing people over Twitter, there’s no way he’s ditching the service as his mouthpiece.
