We all know that President Trump is a not highly literate. He probably has a vocabulary of several hundred words, which is why he repeats himself so much. One wonders if even had English in school since he makes so many grammatical mistakes. But the most egregious error he keeps making is one of my pet peeves. He often uses expressions like, "If I would have known." or "If I would have been there." Why can't this Wharton scholar (not) hear how horribly inaccurate this expression is, especially since it can be fixed with the simple word, "had". Example: "If I had known decades ago that America was going to elect a deranged, immoral, racist, I would be resettled in Europe by now."
