Yesterday, the leaders of the U.S. intel community – most of them handpicked by Donald Trump – publicly testified before Congress that everything is a mess with ISIS and North Korea, and that Iran is still adhering to the peace deal that Trump recently ripped up. These remarks were the truth, but they’re not at all compatible with Trump’s lies, so he tried to rip them a new one this morning. Emphasis on “tried.”

Here’s what Donald Trump vomited out on Twitter this morning, and see if you can spot where it all went wrong for him: “The Intelligence people seem to be extremely passive and naive when it comes to the dangers of Iran. They are wrong! When I became President Iran was making trouble all over the Middle East, and beyond. Since ending the terrible Iran Nuclear Deal, they are MUCH different, but a source of potential danger and conflict. They are testing Rockets (last week) and more, and are coming very close to the edge. There economy is now crashing, which is the only thing holding them back. Be careful of Iran. Perhaps Intelligence should go back to school!”

That’s right, Donald Trump said “There economy” instead of “Their economy” just before demanding that his intel chiefs “go back to school.” Everyone quickly piled on in the comment section, making fun of a clearly illiterate man telling others that they need more education. But Trump wasn’t done.

Donald Trump declared that “Negotiating are proceeding” in Afghanistan, and no one could even figure what he was trying to say. This man grows more illiterate by the day. You might think this is the least of his failings. The trouble is that he has the vast resources of the Oval Office around him, and he still can’t be bothered to have someone around him clean these things up. His “global waming” debacle still hasn’t been fixed two days after the fact.
