In 1992 Dan Quayle misspelled 'potatoe'.

And it destroyed his career. The current sitting President misspelled 'tapp'. As in spelling 'wiretap' as 'tapp'.

How dumb is this country that we don't even bat an eye at Trump's stupidity? Phew...

It wasn't just "tapp". He has many misspellings in his tweets. My favorite was "unpresidented", lol, like that word has something to do with the president. The thing is, the misspellings are the least concerning things in his tweets. That's Trump's strategy. He hits you with so many objectionable things at once you can't focus in on anything. If Dan Quayle had misspelled potato in that classroom then walked over and slapped some kids, raped the teacher, and then took a massive dump on the floor on his way out, the media wouldn't be able to focus on any one thing, and he would probably be as famous as Trump today because he his own man who does whatever he wants without worrying what the liberal media thinks.

I did not. I registered as a Democrat so I could vote for Bernie. I then voted for Hillary Clinton.

Just a heads-up, but Choyo Chagas believes that every American, everywhere, is collectively guilty for the sins of every other American, ever, current and even past as well.

I'm not sure that he has ever asserted or implied that. He just has a tendency to essentialize somewhat. It is, however, not unknown for Americans to return that compliment in advance, if you see what I mean.
