WATCH: Donald Trump takes on the word ‘anonymous’ – and fails spectacularly

Dave Hanratty

Words are hard

Who among us doesn’t struggle from time to time with either pronouncing or spelling a tricky word?

It’s just one of those life things we have to deal with, and what is life if not for learning from our mistakes?

Admittedly, such gaffes become a bigger issue if you’re in the spotlight, like a celebrity or the President of the United States, for example.

Look, Donald Trump can be a bit of an easy target but, again, you want for the Leader of the Free World to at least excel as an orator.

Public speeches are a big part of the gig, after all.

And so it is that we contend with Trump and his deadliest enemy this week; the word ‘anonymous’.

It’s a tough one, four syllables and all.

Step up, Mr President, and show us how it’s done.
