(32,823 posts)You guys know that at least some of his tweets are written by PR writing staff, right?
Easy to tell, they're the ones that form complete sentences and use college-words like "apoplectic".
The rest of 'em you can figure are his alone.

(43,219 posts)It was also used by Vanity Fair to refer to Trump himself, so he may have taken it reflexively and thrown it back hastily. (E.g. "No puppet! You're the puppet!"
If he did write the tweet, I'm sure he had a copy of the Vanity Fair article on his lap to make sure he spelled it correctly.
That GIF of yours, though....yikes!

(23,975 posts)he likely picked up the word from an article about him published earlier this week.
the spelling is correct, but the usage is not, so i'm inclined to think he did write it with some built-in help from his phone.
