President Donald Trump bizarrely boasted about knowing “tech better than anyone” during a Twitter rant about his proposed border wall on the U.S.-Mexico border early Friday:
The Democrats are trying to belittle the concept of a Wall, calling it old fashioned. The fact is there is nothing else’s that will work, and that has been true for thousands of years. It’s like the wheel, there is nothing better. I know tech better than anyone, & technology.....

.....on a Border is only effective in conjunction with a Wall. Properly designed and built Walls work, and the Democrats are lying when they say they don’t. In Israel the Wall is 99.9% successful. Will not be any different on our Southern Border! Hundreds of $Billions saved!

Trump’s outlandish claim inevitably caught the eye of fellow tweeters, who quickly reminded the president of some of his tech failures:
You don't know anything better than anyone.

If you know tech so well why aren’t you able to use a spellchecker?
