Donald Trump Can't Spell
OK, those of us who post on Twitter know that it's easy to make typos when you're hurriedly sending a message of 140 characters. But it really doesn't hurt to take a few seconds to see if you've spelled and punctuated everything correctly. The presumptive Republican presidential nominee, however, apparently doesn't take those few seconds. Now, some of the tweets that go out under Donald Trump's name may be the work of his staff — he has said he writes his own tweets primarily in the evenings, and during the day, he shouts them out to the "young ladies" in his office — but hey, they do go out under his name, so we will hold him responsible. And some of them show an embarrassing lack of familiarity with spelling — even that of proper names — and punctuation and grammar as well. Yes, we know we could call out the Donald on many things — but for today, we'll stick to copyediting his tweets.

Trudy Ring
Trudy Ring is The Advocate’s senior politics editor and copy chief. She has been a reporter and editor for daily newspapers and LGBTQ+ weeklies/monthlies, trade magazines, and reference books. She is a political junkie who thinks even the wonkiest details are fascinating, and she always loves to see political candidates who are groundbreaking in some way. She enjoys writing about other topics as well, including religion (she’s interested in what people believe and why), literature, theater, and film. Trudy is a proud “old movie weirdo” and loves the Hollywood films of the 1930s and ’40s above all others. Other interests include classic rock music (Bruce Springsteen rules!) and history. Oh, and she was a Jeopardy! contestant back in 1998 and won two games. Not up there with Amy Schneider, but Trudy still takes pride in this achievement.
