A far more common (though still kinda baffling) error, to be fair.

I can't see that being baffling. A person unfamiliar with the nuances of commas and semicolons can relatively easily substitute a comma instead of a semicolon; that would be understandable.

I am not one to call out others grammar... but this is just odd in so many ways. Not even speaking about getting a hyphen and an apostrophe confused . Like all of the tweet is just.

Right...he just had possibly the worst week of his entire presidency so far, but this is what he's talking about?

TC is right.

Proper use of a hyphen:
The Warriors choked away a 3-1 Finals lead to Lebron in 2016.

Proper use of an apostrophe:
Kawhi Leonard's skills dominated the Warriors in the 2019 Finals.

No, thats patterned after how I would say something. So I use them to trail off or what would encompass a verbal pause.

This is a weird thing to criticize Trump for. Before he took office, people would make fun of others for correcting basic grammar errors, calling it racist, elitist and whatever other ist you could add. Words change, languages change, and it was stupid to focus on "obsolete" rules that were too rigid on spelling, punctuation and such. That shit was the popular response to criticism, even here on CE.

Not knowing the difference between a hyphen and an apostrophe has nothing to do with linguistic evolution or prescriptivism vs descriptivism. Shut the fuck up.

Nope. Everyone is all of a sudden an English teacher, after Trump got elected. That guy is living in your head. Admit that first, before I even consider anything you say to be of worth.

An ellipsis is three dots, Trump has been known to use 6 or 7, or 10, sometimes.

Here is a lesson in creative writing. First rule: Do not use semicolons. They are transvestite hermaphrodites representing absolutely nothing. All they do is show you've been to college.
