Most likely Trump does knows the difference or could quickly re-learn it. When focusing on larger issues some people lose focus on the difference between spoken and written English. This kind of trolling almost insures that I will vote for Trump. We don't need trolls even when they're liberals.

Well, we can add that to the list of things the average American believes they have in common with him. In all seriousness, it's just auto-correct and we've all done it, but I'm surprised nobody is double-checking any tweets under his name (whether or not he's the actual writer).

My 2 cents. Buffoon or not; Trump is a guy that gets stuff done, not a guy that is concerned about an overlooked grammar auto-correct of a language. This is opposed to the other "no-stance" buffoon in the race, or the "no-action" buffoon thats in office now.

Keep the trains on time, eh?

Stuff like inherit a small fortune to invest and develop a brand to achieve a return only a little better than an index fund over the past 30 years?

Temporarily embarrassed millionaire explains so many "average" American males. Between the spoiled and public antics of Bush the Junior and Trump's misogyny, Clinton's profile will divide America's constituency by terms not seen since Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs.

But does he? Does he really get stuff done?

Adding buildings to the Manhattan skyline, sure, but that's his job, that's what he's supposed to do.

"Come to Trump University, where you can get stuff done!"

In the end we usually vote our pocket books, so those on S.S. or those who depend on Vet service will notice a lack of dialogue presently from the Dem side.

Da Burn mentioned it as well as Trump and even though the Dems have gain support from women and Spanish contingent, it seem that an equal amount of older white voters have switch from support Dems to support Trump specifically due to the person and not the party.

This election has shown us the truth as to the election process... in this regard we have a debt to Burn and Trump for uncovering a process tht leaves most voters out in the cold without representation as the electoral process has been perverted from it's original process. The media has be partisan as opposed to reporting the news and truth is second to persuasion ... this election is a wash out and the best we can hope for is election reform in the future.....

Least of all then. Funny how it's almost always, or always liberals who pick up on spelling errors or typos. You'd almost think that after obsessively and exhaustively scanning their opponents words for things to criticize and failing to find any, in desperation they seize on nothing and present it as something. As usual, move along,nothing to see here, only a liberal at work.
