1. Make idiotic mistake

2. Media calls out the mistake and he’s embarrassed

3. Trump tries to pretend that he made the mistake on purpose, and everybody who believed him is an idiot.

4. Wait a day, then repeat to step 1.

And it was cheese that started this.

He was originally taking umbrage to a report that he spends his nights alone in bed with a Diet Coke and Cheeseburgers.

When will all of the “reporters” who have received Noble Prizes for their work on Russia, Russia, Russia, only to have been proven totally wrong (and, in fact, it was the other side who committed the crimes), be turning back their cherished “Nobles” so that they can be given....

....to the REAL REPORTERS & JOURNALISTS who got it right. I can give the Committee a very comprehensive list. When will the Noble Committee DEMAND the Prizes back, especially since they were gotten under fraud? The reporters and Lamestream Media knew the truth all along....

....Lawsuits should be brought against all, including the Fake News Organizations, to rectify this terrible injustice. For all of the great lawyers out there, do we have any takers? When will the Noble Committee Act? Better be fast!

Reporters who fold as soon as he bullies them instead of standing up for the truth aren't.

If that was me I would run and hide and not want to show my face again for a long time.

And the thing is, I might have spelled the word wrong too as I am a really terrible speller. But I would know to look it up! Especially if I was president of the damn United States I would have someone check my tweets before I shot them out to the whole word! Why doesn't he even think to do that?

And how does he end up writing hamberger without seeing the red line underneath and doing a spell check?

Always but always trying to manipulate and bullshit his way out of the incessant gaffes he is famous for. He never stops being the sleazy amoral car salesman for stupid and/or naive people.

It's hard to recognize sarcasm from someone who lies all the time.
