Not only is it not "Unpresidented" its also not unprecedented.

China seized an American spy plane with crew shortly after Bush was elected.

We'll get it back as soon as China disassembles, digitally scans, and reassembles it.

I'll give him a pass on the spelling.  These itty bitty keyboards on smartphones and blackberries result in some interesting typos.  I get all kinds of whacky things from one of our executive directors; he doesn't bother to correct his typos when he fires off a message and the results can be amusing!

But the E and the I are not close to one another on the keypad.  He probably thinks this is how it's spelled.

He probably has "president" on the brain. 

In my opinion, there are more important things to be concerned about than spelling.

He cannot hire a spell checker for his idiotic tweets?


Hell, browsers come with one for free.

Trump speaks with a fourth grade vocabulary.  If you recall, he said during the campaign, "I know a lot of words, really good words."

Yeah, they give you words they think you want.  You have to be careful but what is Trump?

Not careful AND I'm not even sure he's smart enough to have noticed.

If he plans to continue tweeting, perhaps he should.

He did delete the tweet and retweet with the word spelled correctly. Gives me a twinge of hope he'll give the office more dignity.


If there's a word I have for Trump, it's undignified.


He needs to conduct himself better.

Spelling aside he's still wrong.

Its hardly an unprecedented act and its relatively mild compared to some of the things China has done in the past. China forced an American spy plane to land in China with the crew shortly after Bush took office. If I recall correctly the Chinese pilot was killed, the American plane damaged and was over international waters when it was forced into Chinese airspace and then to land.

Trump always needs hyperbole and its why he can't be trusted.

I don't really care that he care recognize this action as 'unprecedented' or 'unpresidented'.

He's going to be President in about a month. 

This situation will like not be completely resolved by then.

What does he plan on doing about it?

For right now, it sounds like he's not going to do a thing.

----

And did he get an intelligence briefing on this?  Is he going to use our intelligence on this as the situation progresses?

Or is Alex Jones his go-to person for that?
