The word ‘Lier’ was a top trending topic on Saturday because President Donald Trump misspelled a simple word just days after bragging he had recently “aced” a cognitive test, to the amazement of his doctors.
Twitter users checking on trends could be forgiven a perplexed few moments while trying to figure out why “lier” was shooting up the charts this weekend. Is Certa recruiting mattress testers? Is someone from Paris in a bind?
No, it’s Trump tweeting about Steele Dossier author Christopher Steele in the wee hours of the morning, calling him “A sick lier.”
This man should be extradited, tried, and thrown into jail. A sick lier who was paid by Crooked Hillary & the DNC! https://t.co/ywMBeAgaGz

That tweet launched thousands of dunks, including from some verified users.
In case you are curious why Lier is trending it’s because the man who said he aced his cognitive test misspelled Liar and Trump is a dumbfuck.

Luckily for Trump, correctly spelling “liar” is not part of the test he says he aced.
Despite the dunks, the tweet remains live as of this writing.
