Donald Trump Calls Robert De Niro a 'Very Low IQ Individual' in Tweet with Glaring Typo

Forget “fire and fury” for North Korea’s dictator Kim Jung Un; it was Hollywood actor Robert De Niro on whom President Donald Trump focused his ire Tuesday as he made his way home from his high-stakes nuclear summit that delivered questionable results.







“Robert De Niro, a very Low IQ individual, has received to many shots to the head by real boxers in movies. I watched him last night and truly believe he may be “punch-drunk.” I guess he doesn’t…,” Trump wrote, continuing his sentence in a subsequent tweet, “…realize the economy is the best it’s ever been with employment being at an all time high, and many companies pouring back into our country. Wake up Punchy!”

Trump, 71, received numerous replies on the tweet pointing out its noticeable typo — the president wrote “to many” when he meant “too many.”

I've never met anyone in person idiotic enough to say that. It's so clumsy, and ugly, and simply stupid.

To = a direction (I am going TO the store)
Too = in addition (He had TOO many blows to the head)
Two = a number ( Donald could only hold one thought in his brain, not TWO)

If Trump is to criticize another person's intelligence it behooves him to spell one syllable words correctly.

intern or proxy/helper did, i would bet.

DeNiro was in Raging Bull that would MAYBE have had real boxers involved, but pretty sure he's not "punch drunk" still from that. put the two of them in a room together and let's see who asks to be let out first. verbally arguing at the beginning, with subsequent gut punches when appropriate.

and what fucking companies are pouring back in? Harley and Carrier couldn't get out fast enough.

Trump has learned to write in fluent Republicanese:

EXCERPTS FROM THE OFFICIAL DICTIONARY OF REPUBLICANESE

In Republicanese, many words that sound alike may be spelled differently at random. A few prominent examples:

In Republicanese, the following words may be spelled at random using any of the three ways given:

A.) Two, Too, To
B.) Their, They're, There
c.) Your, Yore, You're

The Republicanese version of Robin Hood therefore starts with "In days of you're...."

The only rule is that the correct use of them as in English is never permitted twice in a row.

Words with single letters that change meaning when that letter is doubled must never be used in correct English context. The classic example is “lose” vs. “loose.” In Republicanese, if you do not win an election, then you “loose” that election. Conversely, if your (Republicanese: you’re) belt is too tight, you need it more “lose” in order to be comfortable. Another example would be the Republicanese, “I met Donald Trump, and he was rudder than I imagined,” vs. “I grabbed the ruder and was able to steer the boat to shore.”

In Republicanese, an apostrophe is used to form a plural, but it must be done at random, never systematically. For example, Bill and Hillary are "the Clinton's," but Bill, Chelsea and Hillary are "the Clintons." The other way around is also correct. In Republicanese, either form is correct as long as it is not spelled the same way twice in a row.
