"Tramp? Trash? Trunt? What's the problem?"
Didn't even read the story summary, huh?
I apologize.
Fuck Trump.
Indeed.

If that's not a blatant cry for help then idk what is. He's obviously trying to notify someone that he's being forced to forge documents. Either that or orangie-poo wrote them himself.
but this was an issue with them before Trump
In case there was any doubt, this is what scraping the bottom of the barrel looks like. Trump is running out of credulous buffoons with licenses and certifications.
Sounds like yet another strategy to appeal and hold up the courts.

In November, Borgers’ firm was also removed from the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ peer-review program.
BF Borgers, the organization said, was “so seriously deficient in its performance that education and remedial, corrective actions are not adequate.”
"In our professional opinion, these people are too dumb to learn." They sound perfect for Trump.
Lol ..... If I was hired by Trump ... I'd pass all the documents I had to fill out though AI like this guy did and collect my half a million dollar payment.
and collect my payment.
You'd be the first.

Vonesh instead of Borgers is not a misspelling. He either botched a find and replace because he just copy pasted from someone else, or he used GPT and it hallucinated random shit.
Or a drunk autocorrect on a phone swipe keyboard - wouldn't take too many monkeys to hit that result
Or had very dumb assistants writing it, who didn't care to learn his actual name
Or his assistants hate him.
The man who audited Trump's social-media company misspelled his own name 14 different ways
Ben F Borgers, the founder and managing partner of the accounting firm BF Borgers, spelled his name 14 different ways in regulatory filings
Either the title or the body is wrong. If he misspelled his name in 14 different ways he would have spelled it 15 times in total.
No it doesn't. He could have his name show up 100 times in the documents, 30 of which are misspelled. The 30 misspelled occurrences would show 14 unique spelling variations.
Edit: I see what you mean now. He spelled his name in 15 different ways if he misspelled it in 14 ways (unless he never spelled it right)
But it doesn't say that.
So, 14 misspelled variations + 1 correct spelling variation = 15 total spelling variations.
~~Yes, but 15 spelling variations doesn't mean the name wad spelled 15 times in total (as the comment I replied to says), because each variation can be used multiple times.~~
Ok, I now see the discrepancy in the article ("misspelled 14 different ways" and "spelled 14 different ways"). I was confused by the commenter's phrasing ("spelled 15 times in total")
Maybe he never spelled it correctly
You got me there :-)
Seems like he forged his own name.
As I was reading this I misread “Trump Media and Technology Group” as “ Trump Mafia and Technology Group”.
You had it right first time.
Seems normal.
So he's qualified to become president of the united states
Or at least a representative in New York's third congressional district
Only the best people.

Freudian slip or someone in the company sending a message?
Good observation but he had this problem way before Trump
When U.S. Navy Commander Jeremiah Denton was forced to appear at a televised press conference, he repeatedly blinked the word "T-O-R-T-U-R-E" with Morse code
shrek standing behind you "Bend ogre"
Can't be sued, if my name isn't on the documents.
