Dotard Jr. gets trolled again for getting it wrong in latest tweet






Donald tRump Jr.
I would pay good money to see all those people complaining about Obama’s FCC chairman voting to repeal #NetNeutality actually explain it in detail. I’d also bet most hadn’t heard of it before this week. #outrage

Allan Golombek
I see the problem. You don’t think people understand net neutality. I thought at first you meant net neutrality.

Btw, it was hard to get auto-correct to let me spell it “neutality” How hard did DJTJ have to try to get it wrong?

noun
noun: dotard; plural noun: dotards

an old person, especially one who has become weak or senile.

That sounds like Donald Senior all the way.

For example, the controversies about the word "niggardly" have been amusing, if a little embarrassing for those who went from zero to outraged without actually checking to see if there's an actual reason to take offense.

helpfully,
Bright

It's not offensive, when you understand the word.

saying "most people don't understand" or "many people don't know..." when it's just things that the Trumps don't understand or know.

But shows just what these assholes think of the "regular" people. And I bet I could go out on the street and randomly grab 10 people. Eight of them could kick Don Js ass in any debate.
