After a brief detour to throw shade at “self-made” Kylie Jenner, Dictionary.com‘s Twitter account is back to doing what it does best – making fun of Donald Trump.
Not that the President needed much help embarassing himself during his Europe trip. After insulting neighboring country Germany during his stay in Brussels and annoying Queen Elizabeth while in the UK, Trump rounded the tour off by meeting Russian President Vladimir Putin in Finland.
It was here things got really messy. Backlash against Trump was swift after the 72-year-old appeared to accept Putin’s denial over Russia’s alledged meddling in 2016 US election. He has since flip-flopped on the issue, calling it a transcript error, but not before the internet dubbed him a traitor.
And of course, Dictionary.com waded in with a number of tweets, including the definitions for “patriot” and “traitor.”
Patriot: A person who loves, supports, and defends his or her country and its interests with devotion.
Traitor: A person who commits treason by betraying his or her country.https://t.co/Keq4fhTlRB

And although the account didn’t use Trump’s name, it was pretty obvious who they were talking about
Denial: An assertion that something said, believed, alleged, etc., is false.
Also denial: Disbelief in the existence or reality of a thing.https://t.co/1r4oDV7GZi https://t.co/7BFR3ZFdZe

Collusion is often confused with collision. They both have two Ls. https://t.co/E32SOSoeLT https://t.co/Sqgz4c7eTP

Double negative = A syntactic construction in which two negative words are used in the same clause to express a single negation.
E.g. If President Trump had said there’s no reason it wouldn’t not be Russia that hacked our election, it would have been a double negative. https://t.co/6OKdJ5wD09

Unsurprisingly, people were over the moon and showing their support for the rogue Twitter account

I could not respect and admire this account more than I do right now.
Also, the dictionary is taking a more aggressive stance against a treasonous president than Senators and Congressmen from his party. #TreasonSummit #TreasonousTrump
