CNN says

... that came less than 24 hours after Trump had described Sessions as "beleagured" in another tweet...

The use of quotation marks implies that Trump misspelled beleaguered, but in fact, he didn't. See for yourself:

Fake news! Fake news! We can be confident that even though Trump is contemptuous of virtually all of the other resources at a U.S. president's disposal, he does rely on his spell checker.


Edit: It's just a joke! Yes, I understand that what actually happened was that the CNN reporter didn't know how to spell beleaguered.

1. Not necessarily

the use of quotation marks can also mean that the word was used in a specialized sense. Could imply irony, satire, humor. Like the "fair and balanced" reporting of Fox News.

2. I don't get it.. why are you calling CNN Fake News?

3. "Why aren't they looking into Crooked Hillarys crimes & Russia relations?"

Because they did and just like when they looked into your head, they found nothing!

4. My first thought on seeing that tweet was the word seemed odd from someone

with such a limited vocabulary. He had help. Maybe Scaramouche?

5. He has a professional Twitter Writer ..Dan Scavino, who is paid $180K a year to write his tweets..

6. He doesn't do his job very well. n/t

7. The quotes were because Trump is the person who has beleaguered him.
