Donald Trump’s list of “unreported attacks” spells “attacker” wrong 27 times
Donald Trump’s list of 78 terror attacks which the White House said had gone “under-reported” by the media might have had more credibility had it been written by someone who could spell.
Very brave for the WH to rehearse list underreported terror attax. Trump will protect us from terrorist attakkerz.

There were numerous spelling mistakes – Denmark as “Denmakr”, San Bernardino as “San Bernadino” – and whoever was responsible had a particular problem with the word “attacker”, misspelt 27 times.
There are more typos in the White House’s “unreported terror attacks” list than there are unreported terror attacks

Best thing w/ @WhiteHouse terror attack list is that Trump's guys can't spell for shit. I'm not surprised. @POTUS prob can't spell his name

It’s not the first time Trump’s administration has had a problem with spelling. Teresa May, anyone?
Trump now claims media is covering up terror attacks, cites no evidence. At what point does everyone sane say, “No. YOU’RE the crazy one”?

Part of the president’s campaign against “fake news”, the list contained many incidents which received blanket coverage by the western media, such as the 2015 Paris attacks and the Nice truck attack.

Our records show @CBSNews has reported about 3/4 of attacks on Trump’s terror list, and that none would have been prevented by his ban.

Fortunately for CNN, they kept the receipts.

Others on Twitter were quick to point out what Trump’s list DIDN’T include.
I’m guessing #trump‘s “under-reported terror list” doesn’t include any domestic US mass shooting by a white boy.

Trump worried about 78 terror incidents around the world since 2014.
There have been 824 mass shootings in America in that timeframe— HappyToast (@IamHappyToast) February 7, 2017
There was also no mention of the “Bowling Green Massacre”. How could he possibly have overlooked that?
Not forgetting these other unreported attacks.
