CREDENTIALED, NOT EDUCATED: An English Teacher’s Incorrect Correction of a Trump Letter Illustrates His Critics’ Reflexive Condescension.

In fact, none of Mason’s corrections is correct, although there are at least two mistakes in the letter that she neglected to note. Mason’s showy but erroneous pedantry illustrates the tendency of Trump’s opponents to cast policy disagreements as questions of competence and to delight in everything that reflects badly on him, even when that thing is not, strictly speaking, true. These tendencies, which mirror Trump’s own fondness for ad hominem attacks and recklessness with facts, alienate potential allies while confirming his supporters’ conviction that he is sticking it to a supercilious elite that holds them in contempt.

How about that?
