How can Drumpf be expected to correct his statement? Those short fingers make using a keyboard difficult.

Trump isn’t sure he ever called the Pope disgraceful. He’d have to look at the documents. Hey, he’s just a businessman. What does he know about Popes? He builds things. There’s video of it? Hey, how about those Knicks?!

Cute that they edit on paper.

Can you imagine what the edit on one of Wasilla Kardashian’s statements would look like? The editor would have to have 3 inch borders and extra blank paper.

Finally! A MSM outlet that is willing to stand up to Trump´s grammar!

I can’t find citations for any politicians, pundits or military leaders making reference to ISIS launching an attack on Vatican City. It doesn’t appear to be of serious concern to any appreciable number of people. Yet Trump all but invites it, seemingly throwing it out there in hopes such an attack would serve as a repudiation of the Pope.
“Nice little chapel you have there, it would be too bad if something happened to it.”
Truly a bully and vulgarian.

Proof positive that Trump’s grasp exceeds his reach…
Waiting for @theghostofeustacetilley to weigh in on this…
Trump: “Would The New Yorker edit Faulkner or Joyce? I don’t think so! The New Yorker is dying. Losers. No readers. No. I’m brilliant. I’m plenty smart. My I.Q. …one of the highest. YOOOOGE’ I.Q. I’m smart. You don’t edit Faulkner . Joyce is good too. Editing can be good. Not in this case. Editing my stream of consciousness brilliance is the same thing.”
(I know I’m still giving him too much credit, but it was unavoidable.

Perhaps the copy editors could throw a bone TPM’s way?

Since Trump can’t think coherently, he can’t write either.
Didn’t Donald say that he had the world’s best memory?

Now that is amusing. Every other campaign has staff that handle these sorts of things, but with Mr. Trump, you always get the sense he’s personally writing every statement and sending out every tweet all by himself.

Ms. Killingsworth:
Copyedit is one word.
I’ve often wondered how Latin diverged into Vulgar Latin and Classic Latin but now I know… copy editors probably got a hold of someone’s parchment and decided they had to fix it.
Ahold.
Wink.
it never ends…
