Third Time’s the Charm…
Another protest-filled Saturday, another opportunity for President Trump to expose his inner racist. This Saturday came with one additional embarrassment to America as the Tweeter-in-Chief misspelled the word “heal,” as “heel.”
On the first attempt Trump tweeted, “Our great country has been divided for decade,but it will come together again. Sometimes protest is needed in order to heel,and heel we will!”
The misspelled word “heel” and other errors are original to his tweet.
The second time, Trump tweeted: “Our country has been divided for decades. Sometimes you need to protest in order to heel, & we will heel, & be stronger than ever before!”
Still misspelled “heal” as “heel.”
After tweeting then deleting both, finally, third time was the charm:
Getting past the spelling errors, it’s unclear, given his earlier tweet, which protestors he was offering support to. One hour earlier he clearly was pushing the Fox News bunk that the left is violent:
In reality, Trump was agitating violence, which is reprehensible.
Meanwhile, on Twitter, many were only too happy to respond to the president’s mistakes.
Like the dictionary company Merriam-Webster:
Famous author Stephen King:
And NBC News’ Kelly O’Donnell:
And others:
Some suggested maybe it wasn’t an error at all. “Heel” as a verb: “(of a dog) follow closely behind its owner.”
And some took the opportunity to be defiant and resist!
