Trump's Bizarre Capitalization Boast Has Twitter Users Scratching Their Heads
For reasons unknown, President Donald Trump on Friday decided to explain why he “always” capitalizes the word “Country.”
When referring to the USA, I will always capitalize the word Country!

Now, it should be pointed out that Trump doesn’t always capitalize the word ― as these posts from the last month alone prove:
Our country’s great First Lady, Melania, is doing really well in Africa. The people love her, and she loves them! It is a beautiful thing to see.

This is a very important time in our country. Due Process, Fairness and Common Sense are now on trial!

Hard to believe that with thousands of people from South of the Border, walking unimpeded toward our country in the form of large Caravans, that the Democrats won’t approve legislation that will allow laws for the protection of our country. Great Midterm issue for Republicans!

His bizarre brag did not go unnoticed by fellow Twitter users, however:
You’re tweeting about....your poor grammar?

Well, thank goodness the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES took this time to share his commitment to the bastardization of capitalization. I feel much safer now.

That's not how this works. That's not how any of this works.

Go back to grade school and learn capitalization rules for the English language. It’s different than der Deutsche, Herr Drumpf.
