MSNBC contributor Touré is more than aware of the rule that the second you begin to lose an argument, correct your opponent’s grammar. But as Touré quickly learned, this only works if your own grammar is perfect.

An overly-confident Touré boasted a win for the Atlanta Falcons in the 51st Super Bowl. A perceived closeness between President Trump and Patriots head coach Bill Belichick and quarterback Tom Brady had many, including Touré, associating support for the team with support for the president.

Needless to say, Touré’s early celebration looked a bit silly in the face of the Patriots’ 34-28 win.
So Touré tried it again on Monday, choosing to hit Trump’s literacy abilities.

“Do anyone *know* for certain that Trump can read?” he wondered.
