Trump loses it over hyphens and apostrophes while avoiding his real problems
Readers, it is time to discuss the most compelling scandal gripping our nation this week: Donald Trump being bad at spelling and grammar.
Trump attacked the media once again on Friday morning with a strange tweet, which focused particularly on what he felt was a bad chyron on CNN. That chyron quoted another one of his tweets (this one from Thursday), where the president referred to Rep. Adam Schiff as "Liddle' Adam Schiff." (In a later tweet, he called for Schiff's resignation.)

The issue with the chyron, apparently, was that it omitted the apostrophe after "Liddle," which Trump incorrectly referred to as a "hyphen." He also spelled "describing" wrong, which every journalist on Twitter pointed out within roughly eight seconds. The dictionary also got in on the action.

In addition to his grammar woes, Trump is currently facing an impeachment inquiry after it was revealed that an intelligence community whistleblower filed a complaint regarding the president's July 25 phone call with Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zolensky. He's accused of using military aid money to coerce Zolensky into investigating the business ties of potential 2020 rival Joe Biden.
