OMG, Mrs Betty Bowers, America's Best Christian for the win!



Donald, I'm absolutely obsessed with watching "Witch Hunt" too. So many witches caught so far. And it's only the first quarter! Here is the latest score: pic.twitter.com/Q3pht7eXdy

noted immigrant brothel-owner Friedrich. That's how the German language is written.

Marketing Gimmick, iow. But Trump so overuses the concept that not even Witch Hunt is sticking anymore.
He's just an old worn-out has-been. Mrs. Betty Bowers is correct, he has entered a contest in which he can't score. He is totally trying to play defense by playing an offense that he invents at will. No basis in law for this strategy. Only innocence can trump the game, and he's not much of that left if he ever had any.

10. All nouns are capitalized in German!

In English only proper nouns such as people's names are capitalized. In German, however, every noun is capitalized: Mann, Frau, Mädchen, Apfel, etc. The good news is that this helps you tell nouns apart from other types of words.

But, if I'm not mistaken, Trump is writing in English? Or the bastardized version he tweets as English?

The German language has different structures that make it more difficult to identify nouns, so they are capitalized. The English language lacks those vagaries.

I doubt his NY birth certificate is even real.

Any real American should speak proper English.

They don't read, so they never understand/learn proper capitalization/punctuation/sentence formation by osmosis, like most of us do.

even though I am an atheist, Trump seems to just about totally fit the bill for how the Antichrist is described.
