President Donald Trump is no stranger to spelling mistakes. From “covfefe” to “unpresidented,” he’s made a number of gaffes, namely on Twitter. While most people have attributed these continual mistakes to Trump’s seemingly poor writing skills, others dismiss them as typos. Some have even hypothesized that he intentionally misspells words. Chris Evans has his own idea, though — and it definitely makes sense.
He shared his theory after Trump sent a tweet on Monday with — yep, you guessed it — a spelling error. “Disgraced and discredited Bob Mueller and his whole group of Angry Democrat Thugs spent over 30 hours with the White House Councel,” Trump wrote. The randomly capitalized words aside, he obviously misspelled “counsel.”
On the bright side, “councel” is slightly closer to being correct than “council,” which Trump tweeted back in March.
Evans quoted the tweet, thus presenting his take on #spellgate. “I was trying to comprehend how in the world a man, even as moronic as you, can misspell a word he probably reads fifty times a day,” Evans wrote. “But then it dawned on me, you probably only HEAR the word.”
It’s ‘counsel’, Biff. The word is ‘counsel’.
I was trying to comprehend how in the world a man, even as moronic as you, can misspell a word he probably reads fifty times a day. But then it dawned on me, you probably only HEAR the word.
You don’t read shit.
And we all know it. https://t.co/7zZGZRZtkF

He continued, “You don’t read shit. And we all know it.”
Seeing as how Trump reportedly likes his intelligence briefings filled with pictures, Evans’ theory certainly seems to check out. Plus, he’s Captain America — our real president.
