Why Can't Donald Trump Just Use Spellcheck?
“How would you spell that? L-Y-E-N, with a big apostrophe,” said Donald Trump, a man who is dangerously close to leading a country of 300 million.
The Republican presidential candidate made the error at a Wichita, Kansas—the same event which was advertised with a press release that misspelt both the words “Wichita” and “Kansas.” Trump himself fired off a tweet that was, characteristically, misspelled.
It’s not the first time the Trump campaign has misspelt the state he’s speaking in, either.
