Trump: My Phone Kept Auto-Correcting Melania’s Name, And “I Would Get Just Absolutely Decimated”
President Trump told a personal story on Wednesday about how his phone kept auto-correcting “Melania” to “Melody,” but he got “the military” to fix it.
DONALD TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: You know, they have spell correct and word correct in these crazy machines that we use to put out Truths – or they used to be called tweets – and every time I wrote Melania, it would correct to Melody. And I work very fast, very fast – and I talk about it and I say, Melania is fantastic, and Happy Mother’s Day, Melania, Our great First Lady, Melania. But it would spell correct and word correct to Melody. And sometimes I wouldn’t proofread it, and I would get just absolutely decimated. These people were desperate. They said, He didn’t know the name of his wife. He keeps calling her- And I said, What the hell is wrong with this machine? I didn’t know about that little feature, but I got that corrected eventually. You know who corrected it? The military. I said, Come here, you’ve got to correct this. You’re killing me. I took more abuse. She’s been called Melody a lot anyway. I had to explain it to you this way. I stood up here to explain it to you. I apologize.
