The word Pulitzer is trending on Twitter in the U.S. because the president confused the Nobel Prizes with the Pulitzer Prizes. The word Noble is also trending, because he misspelled Nobel.
“He appears to have mixed up Pulitzer prizes with the Nobel prize, which he spelled incorrectly four times.”

So funny that The New York Times & The Washington Post got a Pulitzer Prize for their coverage (100% NEGATIVE and FAKE!) of Collusion with Russia – And there was No Collusion! So, they were either duped or corrupt? In any event, their prizes should be taken away by the Committee!

Apparently Trump’s threat was first made a year ago, and today’s tweet isn’t the first time he’s confused the Nobel Prize with the Pulitzer Prize.
Donald Trump has threatened to strip reporters of “Noble prizes” and sue media outlets over their reporting that confirmed Russian interference in US elections and within the president's 2016 campaign.
In a furious, misspelled Twitter rant on Sunday, the president lashed out at The New York Times over what he called a “phony story” about his daily routine. TheTimesstory claimed the president often doesn't arrive in the Oval Office until noon, after spending mornings watching Fox News, CNN and MSNBC.

The outburst comes after the president has stepped back from hosting White House coronavirus press briefings following criticism for suggesting that Americans could inject disinfectant to ward off coronavirus.
